Description
Fundamentals of electrical engineering topics for non-electrical and non-computer engineering majors. We will cover the fundamentals of DC and AC circuit theory including resistors, capacitors, and inductors. We will also learn about switches and motors and diodes and how to use these electrical components to create functional circuits with inputs and outputs. A wide range of applications will be introduced in the course, including: (1) using resistive sensors to measure light intensity, pressure, or strain; and (2) reducing complex circuits to simpler models.
