Course Description/Overview
The class will consist of an introduction to linear circuit analysis, circuit elements, network theorems, steady-state sinusoidal response, transient response using LaPlace transforms, and frequency response.

Course Learning Objectives

1. Mastery of dc circuit analysis by node and mesh methods. 2. Mastery of ac circuit analysis using phasors. 3. Familiarity with network theorems including superposition and Thevenin s equivalents. 4. Introduction to the transient analysis of first-order and second- order electric circuits. 5. Introduction to the use of the Laplace transform in circuit analysis. 6. Introduction to the frequency response of electric circuits.

Grading Scheme
Grading System
Letter Grade A AB B BC C CD D F I Grade points/credit Rating Percentage 93% & above 4.00 Excellent 88% 92% 3.50 Very good 82% 86% 3.00 Good 76% 81% 2.50 Above average 70% 75% 2.00 Average 65% 69% 1.50 Below average 60% - 64% 1.00 Inferior 59% and below 0.00 Failure Incomplete; given only when a student is unable to complete a segment of the course because of circumstances beyond the student s control. A grade of incomplete may be given only when approved in writing by the department chair or school dean. Conditional, with no grade points per credit; given only when the student is at fault in failing to complete a minor segment of a course, but in the judgment of the instructor does not need to repeat the course. It must be made up within the next semester in residence or the grade becomes a failure (F). A (X) grade is computed into the grade point average as a (F) grade.

Grading Policy Grades will be based on the following: Exam I Exam II 25% 25%
