Electrical Principles

Course CodeROBO-112
Lecture hours per week2
Lab hours per week2
Course AvailabilityOpen
Description

This course introduces students to the fundamental principles of electrical engineering. Students learn about passive electronic components, their symbols, and their applications in AC and DC circuits. They study circuit theorems and laws to compute circuit parameters. They also learn about AC signals, including their generation, representation on a complex plane, and applications.

In the lab, students gain practical experience using DC power supplies, multimeters, capacitance meters, cathode ray oscilloscopes, and function generators. They also learn to use hand tools to assemble circuits on a breadboard and use simulation software to examine the results of lab experiments.

Course material is delivered through lectures, videos, and online and in-class activities. This course serves as a prerequisite for other electronics courses in the program.
