4.1 PURPOSE OF THE COURSE

 

Circuit analysis is important to all fileds of engineering. A clear trend has emerged in consumer products to merge both electronic and mechanical systems. Naturally, any engineer involved in the design of such products would need a knowledge of both the mechanical and electrical aspects of the design. This circuits course will cover the fundamentals involved in circuit analysis for both DC (Dirrect Current) and AC (Alternating Current). Towards the end of the course some useful devices (operational amplifiers) will be examined using the fundamentals in the first part of the course. There will be a number of laboratory experiments, and exposure to Computer Aided Circuit analysis tools.
