About Us ABET ECE/COE 0031Linear Circuits and Systems I(3 credit) Description: The analysis of linear electric circuits. Electric variables and circuit elements, Kirchoff's and Ohm's Law, mesh and node equations, Thevenin and Norton Equivalent circuits. First and second-order circuits, time domain analysis. Prerequisites : Phys 0175, Math 0230 Texts: Introduction to Electric Circuits, Dorf & Svoboda, Wiley, 2004. Course Objectives : Learn how to approach and solve electric circuits problems by applying the mathematics and physics concepts to practical applications. Topics Covered : Circuit and network variables and units, circuit elements, Kirchhoff's laws and resistive circuits, determinants and matrices, source transformations, node and mesh analysis, superposition, Thevenin and Norton theorems, time functions, capacitors and inductors, first order circuits, source free, step response, first order circuits, general response, second order circuits. Class/Laboratory Schedule: Class meets twice per week; 75 minutes per session in lecture environment, coupled with a 50 minute recitation session once a week. Students must complete approximately ten homework assignments, problems assigned from the text, and are encouraged to work in teams. Professional Component Contributions : Students learn how to approach real world problems; make assumptions, evaluate alternative solutions, design simple circuits. Students must also utilize knowledge of physics, mathematics and basic engineering sciences in order to effectively analyze a diverse set of problems. Students are encouraged to work in groups for homework. Prepared by: Ron Hoelzeman Date Prepared: February 14, 2005
