EET 119 - Engineering Circuits 1
Credits: 3
2 Lecture Hours 2 Lab Hours
Prerequisites: EET 103 or Equivalent practical experience as determined by the Department
Description
(Formerly MIT-110) This course prepares students in electrical circuits analysis. Emphasis is on direct current systems. Topics include Kirchhoff’s laws, Thevenin’s theorem, Norton’s theorem, network equations, induction, capacitance and resistor-capacitor (RC) transients.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:
- Apply electronic workbench software to experiments in the laboratory to measure DC values and compare them with calculated values.
- Describe resistance and resistivity of materials used in electrical circuits.
- Solve multi-loop circuits by applying network theorems.
- Calculate the Thevenin’s voltage and resistance for the Thevenin equivalent circuit for any complex DC circuit and determine the maximum power delivered to a load.
- Examine the behavior of transient RC circuits for both transient and steady-state analysis.
- Utilize computer spreadsheets and obtain computer plots of functions.
- Assess back-up materials for subsequent electrical engineering courses employing DC circuit analysis in design.
