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 each week. Two hours laboratory each week. Four Credits. Four billable hours.

Pre-requisite(s): completion of PHYS 212 and MATH 215 with minimum grades of C. (Concurrent enrollment in MATH 215 allowed with advisor permission).
Course Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
