ENGR 2091 - Circuits I

Credits: 4
Hours/Week: Lecture None Lab None
Course Description: This first course in engineering circuits introduces circuit theorems and analysis techniques and includes an introduction to elementary semiconductor devices. Topics include Kirchoff’s Laws, mesh analysis, nodal analysis, source transformations, superposition, Thevenin’s theorem, operational amplifiers, bipolar junction transistors, MOSFETs, and RLC circuits. Circuits analysis software is introduced. Design of simple electrical circuits is integrated throughout this course. This course includes a two-hour lab each week.
