Course Descriptions:
The main objective of this course is to introduce the non-EE students to these aspects of electrical engineering that will be useful to their future career. In Basic EE I, students will study the basic circuit analysis and measurement, first and second-order transients, and steady state AC circuit analysis. After learning this course, students are expected to be able to use the circuit analysis techniques in solving practical engineering problems.
