COURSE DESCRIPTION

This is an in-depth course in direct current (DC). Topics include voltage, current,
resistance, Ohms Law, power, network analysis, magnetism, inductance, &
capacitance. Students will use the theory learned in classroom to design &
construct circuits in the laboratory. Test equipment will be used to take
measurements and to perform trouble diagnosis & repair.


TEXT & LABORATORY MANUAL FOR THE COURSE

Introductory Circuit Analysis 9
th
edition & the Laboratory Manual
Author & Publisher: Robert L. Boylestad, Prentice Hall
Two 3 1/2 " high-density disks are required for this course


COURSE OBJECTIVES
describe voltage, current, resistance, and power describe insulators, conductors (wire sizing), and elements of electrical drawings understand and apply Ohms Law and Kirchhoffs Laws to simple electrical circuits understand and apply the fundamentals of DC theory & analyze series/parallel
circuits using Ohms Law, Kirchhoffs Law, & network theorems apply common electrical instruments to make measurements in electrical circuits


COURSE ORGANIZATION AND GRADE ASSIGNMENT
Attendance Procedure: Students are expected to attend all classes. Excessive
absences will be reported to the department dean. Make up exams are to be
avoided. They will be given only for exceptional reasons; proof will be required as to
why a student missed an exam.
Instructional Approach: A combination of lectures, example presentations,
& laboratory experiments will be utilized.

Grade Assignment:
Final course grade is assigned based on the following




assignments 30%




exams 70%
