ENGR 216 — Circuits I: Steady State Analysis
This calculus -based engineering course studies the fundamentals of engineerin g circuit analysis. It is the first in a two-course survey that is the starting point of circuit analysis for future engineers. This course begins with a study of the basic electrical quantities, and the physical properties of basic circuit elements; resis tors, inductors, and capacitors. It proceeds to study the laws and theorems fundamental to circuit analysis incluiding Ohm’s Law, Kirchoff’s Laws, and Watt’s Laws. Network analysis is examined including series and parallel combinations, nodal, loop, and superposition techniques, Thevenin’s and Norton’s Theorems, source conversions, and sinusoidal AC steady-state analysis. This course concludes with introductions to first -order transient circuit analysis with differential equations, SPCE circuit simulation, complex power, Bode plots, and passive and active filters. Prerequisite(s): none Corequisite(s): MATH 270, PHYS 250
