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

  • Apply circuit laws, theorems and methods of systematic analysis to predict the steady state behaviour of simple linear DC and AC circuits
  • Use piecewise linear models to predict the steady state behaviour of simple diode and transistor circuits, AC and DC motors
  • Explain the transient behaviour of RC and RL circuits
  • Simulate simple analog circuits to verify their behaviour
  • Explain the operation of circuits using transistors in switching mode to achieve a variable DC output
  • Demonstrate practical electronic skills, by constructing of simple electronic circuits on breadboard and testing the circuits using electronic test equipment
