ENGR& 204 Electrical Circuits6 credits
This course is an introduction to electrical engineering. Topics covered include basic circuit and systems concepts and resistors, sources, capacitors, inductors, and operational amplifiers. Students will solve first- and second-order linear differential equations associated with basic circuit forms.
Prerequisites: MATH 238 and PHYS& 222
Course Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:
- Solve electric circuits using node and mesh analysis
- Apply Thevenin’s and Norton’s theorems to circuit analysis
- Articulate the basic laws of capacitors and inductors
- Demonstrate the use of differential equations in the analysis of resistance-inductance-capacitance (RLC) circuits
- Describe an ideal operational amplifier (op amp) and use it in circuits
- Differentiate between applications using linear and nonlinear resistors and diodes
- Solve first-order and second-order switched circuits
- Analyze single-phase and three-phase sinusoidal steady state circuits
- Design, build, and test electrical instrumentation and control systems
- Perform basic circuit analysis using computer-based tools such as PSPICE, TINA, LTSPICE, or MultiSim
- Build and troubleshoot electrical circuits as specified in a circuit schematic
