Spring 2026 Lecture Distance Learning Lower Division
Continuation of Electrical and Computer Engineering Fundamentals I. The course addresses mathematical and computational foundations of circuit analysis (differential equations, Laplace Transform techniques) with a focus on application to linear circuits having variable behavior as a function of frequency, with emphasis on filtering. Variable frequency behavior is further considered for applications of electronic components through single-transistor and operational amplifiers. The course ends with consideration of how circuits behave and may be modeled for analysis at high frequencies. Permission of Department required.
Learning Outcomes1Analyze 2nd order linear circuits with sources and/or passive elements.
2Compute responses of linear circuits with and without initial conditions via one-sided Laplace transform techniques.
3Compute responses to linear circuits using transfer function and convolution techniques.
4Analyze and design transistor amplifiers at low, mid and high frequencies.
5Ability to work with transmission line models to analyze circuits at high-frequency.
6Use a CAD tool (e.g., SPICE) in circuit analysis and design.
