ENES 205 Electric Circuits

This course will instruct students in the design, analysis, simulation, construction and evaluation of electric circuits. Students will review the I-V relationships of resistors, capacitors, inductors, sources, op-amps, and transformers. The student will perform circuit analysis using Kirchoff's laws, node and mesh analysis, superposition, Thevenin and Norton theorems. The student will also perform DC and AC steady state and impulse analysis for first and second order circuits.
