Abstract

This theory/lab course will provide students with a foundation in electrical circuits using steady state direct current (DC) voltage sources. Topics to be covered include: engineering notation, electrical units of measure, electrical components, Ohm’s law, circuit analysis, and circuit theorems. Circuit analysis techniques along with the use of the scientific calculator will be stressed throughout the course. The lab component of this course is designed to reinforce theory by providing hands-on applications through a series of related lab projects. Students will build, test, measure, and troubleshoot electrical circuits wired in series, parallel, and combinational configurations. Electronic test and measurement equipment such as digital multi-meters (DMM), variable DC power supplies, and proto-boards will be used throughout the course.
