ENGR 217 — Circuits II: System Dynamics with Lab
4 cr. This calculus -based engineering course studies the fundamentals of engineering circuit analysis. It is the second in a two-course survey that is the starting point of circuit analysis for future engineers. This course includes a laboratory component comprised of measurement, testing, and analysis of circuit applications. This course begins with a study of complex AC power, and magnetically coupled networks. It proceeds to study poly -phase circuits, with an emphasis on three -phase circuits. First - and second-order transient circuits are studied with analogies to mechanical, fluid, and thermal systems. This course concludes with studies of variable - frequency networks including poles and zeroes, sinusoidal frequency analysis, and Bode plots, the LaPlace transformations, and transfer functions. Prerequisite(s): ENGR-216 Corequisite(s): COMM-201, MATH-275
