CIRCUITS I

Catalog description

Study of the basics of electronic DC electric circuits including terminology, definitions, units, assembly and analysis. This course emphasizes the analysis of electric circuits using Ohm’s law, Kirchhoff’s current and voltage laws, nodes, loops, and theorems such as Thévenin, Norton, and maximum power transfer. The course is developed by using a balanced approach of theory, electronic simulation, lab projects, and practice to develop higher thinking processes such as scientific and quantitative reasoning, responsible, and critical thinking. One semester, 3 hours of classroom lab per week.
