In this course, students review and refresh on algebraic concepts and go beyond basic math skills to explore more advanced ways to understand circuits. They learn how to analyze circuits using techniques like nodal and mesh analysis. The focus is on mastering these methods so students can understand how circuits behave. Also, students learn practical skills like using scientific calculators and Excel spreadsheets. These tools help them analyze circuits better and solve problems more effectively.
Outcomes
