Course overview
This course develops a basic understanding of the fundamentals and principles of analog circuits and electronic devices in electrical and electronic engineering. This understanding is a critical step towards being able to design new electronic circuits or use them appropriately as part of a larger engineering system. Hence the course seeks to develop foundational concepts and skills, achieving them through a series of application-oriented topics such as the design of DC power supplies, speed control of electric motors, and audio amplification and tone control.
- Introduction To Electricity And Electronics
- Electrical Engineering
Course learning outcomes
- Determine the steady state behaviour of simple linear DC and AC circuits using fundamental circuit laws and theorems.
- Explain the transient behaviour of RC and RL circuits
- Explain the operating principles, behaviours, costs and benefits of rotating electric machines and use simple models to predict their behaviour.
- Explain the fundamental properties of electrical energy, generation, transmission, distribution and utilisation, sustainability.
- Determine the steady state behaviour of simple diode, transistor, and linear amplifier circuits using piecewise linear models.
- Explain the operation of circuits using transistors in switching mode.
- Demonstrate practical electronic skills, by constructing or simulating simple electronic circuits and using electronic test equipment and prototyping hardware.
