Credit(s) 4.00
Lecture Hours: 3.00
Lab Hours: 2.00
This course covers electrical circuit analysis with the goal of developing electrical engineering fundamentals for any engineering discipline. This course consists of a lecture and laboratory session. The primary focus is basic circuit theory, circuit modeling, analytical methods, first-order circuits, basic second-order circuits, and steady state AC circuit analysis. Practical laboratory and engineering skills will be achieved through building various electric circuits and taking electrical measurements.

Prerequisite(s): MAT 210 and PHY 222
SLOs:
Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:
