Electrical Circuit Analysis 1

Catalog description

Covers engineering prefixes, unit conversion, capacity factor, efficiency, and basic electrical quantities of power, energy, voltage, current, and resistance. Includes analysis of series, parallel, and series-parallel DC circuits using Ohm’s, Kirchhoff’s Laws, and DC circuit analysis theorems including the Superposition Theorem, Thevenin’s Theorem, and the Maximum Power Transfer Theorem. Introduces schematic reading, soldering, circuit construction, troubleshooting, circuit simulation software, and lab instrumentation including ohmmeters, ages birth to eight, screening and assessment tools, the IFSP and IEP process, and advocating with families to access necessary special education services. Explores strategies for creating inclusive early learning environments. Prerequisite/ concurrent: IRW 115 or WR 115 or equivalent placement. Audit available.
