CEN201

Course Description

This is the first course in the Computer and Electrical Engineering Program on electric circuits. It teaches the fundamentals of electrical circuit theory and its application to practical direct and alternating current circuits. The course starts with an introduction to the fundamental electrical quantities, presenting the concept of passive and active components. The circuit analysis techniques are then presented. These include, nodal analysis, mesh analyses, source transformation, and superposition. Furthermore, the Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuits techniques and the maximum power transfer concept are taught. The last part of the course focuses on circuits including capacitors and inductors. The course lab sessions will introduce the essential instrument needed to analyze electric circuits and will be used to anchor the theoretically taught material. Students will investigate electric circuits used in real life. The course project will be associated with the course activities
