ELE-2110 DC Circuits

This course covers the fundamental concepts of electricity, circuits, and circuit elements, as well as serial, parallel, and more complex configurations, electrical conductors, power, and energy. It also covers the behavior of inductors and capacitors in DC circuits and their analysis in transient and steady states. A professional simulation package is used to conduct simulation experiments throughout the course. This course prepares students for ELE-2120: AC Circuits, a follow-up course on alternating current. Together, the two courses provide the knowledge base for all electrical, electronics, and mechatronics courses. These three branches of engineering, along with their specialization options, open the path to a majority of engineering careers.

Advisory: Proficiency in a course equivalent to at least MAT-1210: College Algebra is needed to succeed in this course.

Note: This course requires that students use NI Circuit Design Suite software, which is a Windows-based product and will not run on Macs. Students can run this software and other Windows software on a Mac using Apple's Boot Camp technology or third-party virtualization tools like Parallels or VMWare Fusion. These tools make it possible to run Mac OSX and a Windows operating system side by side. This solution will require a Windows license.
