Course Description

The course is designed to serve as a first course in the undergraduate electrical and electronics engineering curriculum. Hence, it is in the core of department subjects required for all undergraduates in electrical and electronics engineering.

The course introduces the fundamentals of lumped electric circuits. The topics covered include: circuit variables and elements, simple resistive circuits, techniques of circuit analysis, operational amplifiers, inductance, capacitance, mutual inductance, response of first order RL and RC circuits, natural and step responses of RLC circuits, sinusoidal steady- state analysis and applications. Homework and design exercises are also significant components of the course.

 

Course Objectives

 

The course is about making an introduction to the field of Electrical & Electronics Engineering. Therefore, its objective is to provide the first principles of electric circuit analysis to the electrical and electronics engineering majors.

• Students learn the fundamental laws associated with circuit analysis and apply them to design and analysis of circuits. This includes nodal analysis, mesh analysis, Ohm's law, power analysis, and transient and steady state frequency response.

• Students will attend to problem solving sessions, where they receive additional instruction related to analysis and design tasks.

• Students work in teams of 2-4 to design and analyze circuits in the laboratory sessions.

• Students solve, characterize, and study circuits’ problems, behaviors, and frequency responses respectively.

• Students are introduced to basic concepts of personal accountability, professional ethics and appropriate team interactions.

• Students also learn circuits’ elements and circuit analysis techniques throughout semester.

 

Course Learning Outcomes

 

On successful completion of this course, students will

  1. Know and be able to use SI units, the definitions of voltage, current, power and energy.
  2. Understand the symbols for and behavior of the ideal basic circuit elements.
  3.                Be able to state Ohm’s law, Kirchoff’s laws and be able to use them to analyze simple circuits.
  4.                Know to solve equivalent resistance, design voltage divider and current divider, measure resistance with Wheatstone bridge, use delta-to-wye equivalent circuits.
  5.                Understand and be able to use the node-voltage and mesh-current methods, source transformation, Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuits, maximum power transfer.
  6.                Be able to analyze simple circuits containing ideal opamps, and recognize inverting amplifier, summing amplifier, noninverting amplifier, and difference amplifier.
  7. Know and be able to use the equations for voltage, current, power, and energy in inductors, capacitors, and understand basic concept of mutual inductance.
  8. Be able to determine the natural and step response of RL, RC and RLC circuits.
  9. Be able to transform a circuit with sinusoidal source into frequency domain and analyze circuits containing linear and ideal transformers using phasor methods.

Laboratory Work

• Laboratory sessions will be conducted in three stages: simulation, experimentation and report generation.

• Students must prepare the simulation file(s) and notes related to each week’s experiment before the laboratory session.

• Laboratory reports should be turned in at the beginning of the following week’s lab session.

• The reporting format is available on the pru-online platform.

Computer Use

MATLAB will be used for circuit designs, experiments and calculations.
