Objectives and Contents
Objectives of the Course Unit	Identify linear systems and represent those systems in schematic form Apply Kirchhoff's current and voltage laws and Ohm's law to circuit problems Simplify circuits using series and parallel equivalents and using Thevenin and Norton equivalents Perform node and loop analyses and set these up in standard matrix format Identify and model first and second order electric systems involving capacitors and inductors Predict the transient behavior of first and second order circuits
Contents of the Course Unit	Circuit variables, circuit elements. Simple resistive circuits. Techniques of circuit analysis. Topology in circuit analysis. Inductance and capacitance. State variables and state equations. Response of first-order RL, RC circuits. Natural and step responses of second-order RLC circuits.
Contribution of the Course Intending to Provide the Professional Education	To develop the fundamental tools of linear circuit analysis which will be useful to all engineers. To learn the "alphabet" of circuits, including wires, resistors, capacitors, inductors, voltage and current sources, and operational amplifiers. To prepare students for more advanced courses in circuit analysis.
