ENGR 2091 - Circuits I

Credits: 5
Hours/Week: Lecture 4 Lab 2
Course Description: This first course in engineering circuits introduces circuit theorems and analysis techniques and provides an introduction to analog electrical systems. Topics include Kirchoff’s Laws, mesh analysis, nodal analysis, source transformations, superposition, Thevenin’s theorem, operational amplifiers, inductance and capacitance, first and second order circuits, time and frequency domain representations, phasors, Fourier series, and basic filter networks. Laboratory experiments cover many of the topics in the course content with particular emphasis on audio applications.
