Outcomes

1. Apply circuit analysis techniques including Kirchoff's laws, equivalent resistance, superposition, Thevenin and Norton equivalents, Node-voltage method, and Mesh-current method.
2. Solve first- and second-order linear differential equations associated with basic circuit forms.
3. Analyze single-phase and three-phase sinusoidal steady state circuits
4. Build, and trouble shoot electrical instrumentation and control systems as specified in a circuit schematic.
5. Perform basic circuit analysis using computer-based tools such as PSPICE,TINA, LTSPICE, or MultiSim.
6. Analyze the transient step and natural response of first and second order linear direct current (DC) circuits containing resistors, capacitors, and/or inductors.
7. Analyze the steady-state response of sinusoidal circuits including frequency-selective circuits by applying the concepts of phasor transforms and impedance.
