Basic Electric Circuits

Catalog description

This project-based course is intended for students wishing to pursue a Robotics Certificate at the university level. It introduces the basic concepts and theory of electric circuits with an emphasis on electrical elements such as resistors, inductors, and capacitors (RLC) and their applications in alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) circuits. Students also learn how to build, test and analyze simple RLC circuits in the laboratory, and use simulation software and test equipment such as power supply, multimeter, signal/function generator, oscilloscope, and spectrum analyzer. Related mathematics and physics concepts are developed alongside these concepts of electrical engineering.
