Electrical Circuits

This is a first-year course which introduces students to some electrical and magnetic components of electrical circuits and devices which are the building blocks for electrical engineering. 

Such components include resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, transistors and transformers.  For the lab session, students will work in groups to design simple circuits and systems using these components. In the process, students learn about physical quantities of voltage and currents, circuit principles, power and energy, and operations of the diode, transistors and transformers. 

The knowledge gained in circuit theory will be needed for subsequent modules in electronics, signals, communications and electrical machines.
