Catalog Description: This course continues the study of analog circuits. It covers second-order RLC circuits, AC steady-state analysis, steady-state power and three-phase circuits, the Laplace Transform, filters, and Bode diagrams.
Semesters Offered: Spring
Credit/Time Requirement: Credit: 3; Lecture: 3; Lab: 0
Prerequisites: ENGR 2250MATH 2280 or MATH 2250 (either may be taken concurrently)
Corequisites: ENGR 2295
Justification: This course is part of the standard pre-professional curriculum in electrical and computer engineering, which enables students to transfer with junior-level status into a four-year engineering program. Similar courses are offered in university engineering schools.
Student Learning Outcomes:
Students will be able to analyze second-order RLC circuits; both parallel and series connected. Students will be assessed through homework assignments, quizzes, and exams.
Students will be able to analyze sinusoidal AC circuits, and they will be able to represent them with Phasors. Students will be assessed through homework assignments, quizzes, and exams.
Students will understand AC power and three-phase circuits and be able to analyze them. Students will be assessed through homework assignments, quizzes, and exams.
Students will be able to analyze a circuit's frequency response and represent that with Bode diagrams. Students will be assessed through homework assignments, quizzes, and exams.
Students will understand and be able to apply the method of Laplace Transformation. Students will be assessed through homework assignments, quizzes, and exams.
Content:
This course considers the following topics (with possible sub-topics listed below each topic):* second-order circuits - source free circuits - step response - general second-order circuits* AC circuits - sinusoids - phasors - impedance and admittance - Kirchhoff's laws in frequency domain* sinusoidal steady-state analysis* AC power - instantaneous and average power - effective and apparent power - complex power* three-phase circuits - balanced three-phase - wye-wye, wye-delta, delta-delta, and delta-wye connections* frequency response - transfer function - Bode plots - passive filters - active filters* Laplace transform - poles - convolution integral - transfer functionsThis course calls attention to electrical engineering challenges and solutions through history and in diverse locales. We make an effort to highlight how people from a variety of demographics have contributed to the field.

Pedagogy Statement:
The course is delivered through interactive lecture, group discussions, small group work, and some one-on-one interaction with and feedback from the instructor. Delivery encourages students to ask questions, interact with each other, and consider application to students from varied backgrounds and experiences. Teamwork is promoted by in-class group work and encourage for homework completion.
