COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is an introduction to electric circuits. It consists of laws and a series of mathematical equations which state the relationships that
must hold true in all electric and electronic circuits and will then apply these basic electric circuit principles to more sophisticated electric and
electronic systems. This knowledge will assist students in forming clear concepts of the physical basis for electric circuit theory, testing and
developing the foundation in the Electronics Engineering Program.
