    Course description / Goals / Objectives
    Introduction

    This course is the first course which gives the first insight of electrical circuits. Circuit variables, elements
    and analysis techniques are introduced for DC excitation. Capacitors and inductors are discussed in
    detail for steady-state and transient operation.

    Course Objectives

    • Review the basic electrical concepts of voltage, amperes, and resistance.

    • Introduce basic wiring diagram symbols.

    • Review the characteristics of voltage, amperage, and resistance in series and parallel circuits, showing

    how they are used when diagnosing electrical problems.

    Course Outcomes

    Upon successful completion of the course, the students should be able to:

    1. Identify circuit variables.

    2. Use circuit analysis techniques to solve circuits for the required variables.

    3. Understand the behavior of capacitors and inductors in transient and steady state.

    Home-works/Programs

    Every Lecture is important. Home- works/Assignments/Exams must follow deadlines. Under


    normal circumstances, late work will not be accepted. Students are required to take all tests. No make-
    up test will be given under normal circumstances. Students copying another person's work or
    allowing their work to be copied can expect one of the following actions to be taken by the instructor.

    1. Both students will receive negative points equal to the assignment

    2. Both students will have their final grade lowered by one letter grade
