ENEE 205 - Electric Circuits


Number of Credits: 4
Electric Circuits will include design, analysis, simulation, construction and evaluation of electric circuits. Students will review the I-V relationships of resistors, capacitors, inductors, sources, op amps, and transformers. Circuit analysis will be performed using Kirchoff’s laws, node and mesh analysis, superposition, and Thevenin and Norton theorems. The student will also perform DC and AC steady state and impulse analysis for first and second order circuits. The course concludes with a discussion of ideal op-amp, diode and transistor circuits. Credit will be granted for only one of the following: ENEE-204 or ENEE-205. (Concurrent enrollment in MATH 215  allowed with advisor permission). (Spring Term Only) Four hours lecture. Two hours laboratory. Four Credits. Four billable hours.

Pre-requisite(s): completion of PHYS 212  and MATH 215  with minimum grades of C or better. (Concurrent enrollment in MATH 215  allowed with advisor permission).
Course Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
  1. Identify common circuit components: resistors, inductors, capacitors, independent sources, diodes, transistors, and op-amps understand the terminal relations and models that are used to describe the operating characteristics of these components. (PG-1)(GE-3)
  2. Understand and systematically apply basic circuit laws governing voltages and currents (Kirchhoff’s Laws). (PG-1,2)(GE-3)
  3. Analyze linear AC DC steady-state circuits (PG-1,2) (GE-3)
  4. Use basic circuit techniques (i.e., Nodal analysis, superposition, parallel and series combinations, equivalent transformations, Thevenin and Norton equivalents) to analyze and design linear circuits (PG-1,2) (GE-3)
  5. Understand circuit transients and calculate responses for first and second order circuits.
  6. Understand elementary concepts of electronic circuits such as operational amplifiers and their circuit models. (PG-1,2) (GE-3)
  7. Analyze and design multiple op-amp circuits. (PG-1,2) (GE-3)
  8. Use basic test and measurement equipment necessary to evaluate the performance of simple electric and electronic circuits (PG-1,2,3) (GE-3)
  9. Understand basic limitations, inaccuracies, and tolerances of the test equipment, components, and procedures (PG-1,2) (GE-2,3)
  10. Design circuits with efficient reliability and cheaply achieve the desired results. (PG-2,3,4) (GE-3)
  11. Use good techniques for drawing circuits and wiring diagrams, breadboarding circuits, and trouble-shooting circuits (PG-1,2,3) (GE-2,3)
  12. Use simulation tools to design circuits and analyze performance. (PG-1,2,3) (GE-2,3)
  13. Work cooperatively with others in the lab to maximize results (PG-3,4,5) (GE-1,2,3,4)
