Course Description

This course is designed to provide the student with the skills required to analyze electrical circuits. The course focus is on the understanding of circuit element concepts and application of those concepts to circuits, both analytically and experimentally.

Course Objectives

By the end of this course, the student will be able to:

• Have a working knowledge of Ohm's Law, Kirchoff's Laws, Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuits, and circuit reduction techniques
• Apply circuit analysis techniques to circuits consisting of passive electrical elements and operational amplifiers
• Determine steady-state and transient performance of passive circuits with single types of energy storage elements, establishing circuit equations and solving these equations using analytical techniques
• Perform circuit simulations with Mentor Graphics
• Use MATLAB for laboratory and homework assignments as a supplement to direct calculations
