Overview
Syllabus
PURPOSE
This module will prepare students in developing a fundamental understanding of electrical engineering principles and procedures within an electrical engineering environment.LEARNING OUTCOMES
The student should be able to:- communicate an understanding of the established principles, concepts and terminology of basic electrical engineering;
- analyse various basic electrical circuits that contain series, parallel or series-parallel passive elements (resistors, inductors or capacitors) by the selection, synthesis and implementation of the established principles, procedures and practices;
- analyse various basic magnetic circuits that contain series, parallel or series-parallel branches by the selection, synthesis and implementation of the established principles, procedures and practices;
- establish the parameters for, and implement the principles and operation of inductors in steady-state and transient conditions in electrical circuits;
- establish the parameters for, and implement the principles and operation of capacitors in steady-state and transient conditions in electrical circuits.
