EE 205 - Linear Circuits I

Institution:

Western New England University

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite: PHYS 134; MATH 134, MATH 236 or concurrently. The course is designed for both EE majors and nonmajors. This course is the first of a sequence of two courses designed to give students basic analytical tools used in electrical engineering. Students analyze circuits containing resistors, op amps, and DC sources using Ohm's law, Kirchoff's laws, and several network theorems including Thevinin's theorem, Norton's theorem, and superposition. Students analyze simple circuits and use computer simulation to analyze more complex circuits. They learn to perform transient analysis of simple RL and RC circuits. Students also learn to accomplish AC steady-state analyses of simple linear circuits. In the laboratory, students become proficient in the use of simple electrical test equipment including digital multimeters and oscilloscopes. The methods of assessing student learning in this course are homework assignments, quizzes, tests, laboratory experiments, and written reports on experiments. Three class hours, three lab/tutorial hours. 4 cr.
