EELE 201 - Circuits I for Engineering

Credit(s): 4

Prerequisite(s): M 172, PHSX 222.
An introductory course which covers Ohm’s Law, Kirchhoff’s Laws, nodal and mesh analysis method, network theorems, capacitors, inductors, RC-RL response, complex frequency, phasors, steady state AC circuits, and three phase circuits. (Intermittently)

Course Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of the course, students will be able to

Analyze resistive circuits using Oh’s Law, Kirchhoff’s Law, Network Theorems, and Mesh and Node methods. Calculate power dissipated and energy stored in circuit elements.
Determine the natural and step response of RL-RC circuits.
Analyze AC one-three phase circuits and compute real, reactive, and complex power.
Breadboard electric circuits.
Know how to use laboratory equipment such as multimeters, signal generators, and oscilloscopes to analyze electric circuits.
