Overview
This module covers AC and DC electrical circuits by focusing on aspects circuit behaviour such as steady state behaviour, transient response, transfer functions, frequency response. The module also features an introduction to control systems.
Learning Outcomes
Predict the AC and DC steady-state responses of given circuit designs.
Use transfer functions to predict steady-state AC and DC responses of linear systems.
Sketch dynamic system responses from pole-zero maps.
Derive frequency-response characteristics from transfer functions.
Use measured frequency-response data to approximate transfer functions of “black-box” systems.
Describe the principles and elements of feedback control systems, including specific reference to the design structure of a position-control servomechanism.
Construct and analyse block diagrams representing physical structures (including control systems).
Assess the stability of control systems
Construct, test and analyse electronic circuits in a laboratory, and report findings.
Course Disclaimer
Courses and course hours of instruction are subject to change.
Credits earned vary according to the policies of the students' home institutions. According to ISA policy and possible visa requirements, students must maintain full-time enrollment status, as determined by their home institutions, for the duration of the program.
ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) credits are converted to semester credits/quarter units differently among U.S. universities. Students should confirm the conversion scale used at their home university when determining credit transfer.
Please reference fall and spring course lists as not all courses are taught during both semesters.
Please note that some courses with locals have recommended prerequisite courses. It is the student's responsibility to consult any recommended prerequisites prior to enrolling in their course.
