ENGR 218 — Principles of Electrical Circuit Analysis
3 Lecture Hours, 2 Lab Hours, 3 Credits Prerequisites: MATH 130, PHYS 202 Designed to provide the students not only with a comprehensive foundation of circuit and network theory, but also the basic skills of circuit analysis, design, and testing. Starting with Ohm’s Law, this course first discusses resistive and DC circuits and introduces Kirchhoff’s Laws, Thevenin and Norton equivalents of networks, mesh, and nodal analysis, followed by independent and dependent sources, and operational amplifiers. The second half of the course focuses on AC circuits. Laplace transforms will be introduced for transient and steady state response of networks, followed by various applications of AC circuits, such as filters. Computer-aided analysis and simulation tools are also presented as contemporary methods of network analysis and design. Laboratory work supports lecture topics. English 6 Lecture Hours, 6 Credits Prerequisites: Placement through Accuplacer or Multiple Measures Introduction to College Reading and English I is an intensive developmental course designed to provide students with the foundations needed for academic reading and writing. In this integrated reading and writing course, students develop a range of strategies for reading different kinds of texts and will practice the stages of the writing process with special focus given to sentence and paragraph organization and structure. 4 Lecture Hours, 4 Credits Prerequisites: ENGL 050 or Placement on Accuplacer or Multiple Measu
