Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering

 

This course covers topics in AC and DC linear circuit analysis including Kirchhoff's Laws, voltage and current division, nodal and mesh analyses, superposition, equivalent circuits and power, and the role of circuit components such as dependent and independent sources, operational amplifiers, resistors, capacitors, and inductors.  Steady-state AC circuit topics such as phasors, impedance, frequency response, filtering, damping, resonance, and power are covered.  The transient responses of 1st- and 2nd-order systems are examined.  Magnetic circuits are also introduced. Applications of diodes and transistors, as switches, are discussed. Related experiments are integrated throughout the course.
