Course Profile
Learning Outcomes of the Course:
Upon successful completion of this course the student will be able to:
- Apply basic circuit laws and network theorems to the solution of DC circuits involving multiple sources and circuit elements.
- Write loop and nodal equations for multiple window DC circuits and use those equations to solve for all currents and voltages.
- Reduce a two terminal circuit to its Thevenin or Norton equivalent.
- Solve RC time constant problems.
- Apply network theorems and complex numbers to the solution of AC circuits.
- Use circuit simulation software to analyze circuit behavior.
- Demonstrate the proper use of voltmeters, ammeters, wattmeters, counters, multimeters, and oscilloscopes to make accurate measurements.
- Neatly and accurately record and analyze laboratory data, construct graphs, and complete a professional technical document based on laboratory work.
