ETE-140 — Fundamentals of Electric Circuits I: DC / Lab
This course introduces the fundamental principles of direct current (DC) electrical circuits, using algebra-based techniques to analyze and solve electric circuits. Topics include basic circuit components such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors; Ohm’s Law; Kirchhoff’s Voltage and Current Laws; series and parallel circuits; power and energy calculations; Thevenin equivalent circuit and network theorems are used for the analysis. Students will develop problem-solving skills through hands-on laboratory exercises and learn to apply methods of analysis to understand the behavior of electrical circuits. This course is designed for students the in the Engineering Technology (ETE) program. Class Meets 3 hrs lec; 3 hrs lab Pre/ Course No Mass Transfer Course No
