EGR 210 - Engineering Circuits

Institution:

Delaware County Community College

Subject:

Engineering

Description:

A first course in circuits for engineers. Uses the basic concepts of modern circuit analysis. Topics include two-terminal devices and their classification, circuit topology and Kirchoff's Laws, lumped-circuit analysis using matrix algebra, controlled and independent sources, power and energy, and second-order time-domain techniques (including singularity functions, convolution and introductory state-variable techniques). Theory will be illustrated by laboratory and class assignments. Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to: Set up and solve circuit problems using mesh analysis; Set up and solve circuit problems using nodal analysis; Set up and solve for the transient response of first-order and second-order circuits; Set up and solve for the general solution of first-order and second-order circuits; Find the initial conditions of first-order and second-order circuits; Use instruments (DMM, power supplies, function generators, oscilloscopes) to measure various electrical quantities; Find the impulse response of electrical circuits; Find the response to a given input of an electrical circuit using convolution.
