EET 111 - DC Circuits

Lecture Hours: 3 Lab Hours: 3 Credits: 4

Description: This course is a study of resistance, voltage, current, power and energy in series, parallel, and series-parallel circuits using Ohm’s Law, Kirchhoff’s laws, and circuit theorems. Circuits are analyzed using mathematics and verified using electrical instruments.

Prerequisite(s): Take ENG 100 and MAT 102 and RDG 100.

Corequisite(s): Take MAT 110 .

Course Topics:

Understanding and calculating values using Ohm’s and Watt’s Laws
Calculating and testing resistive elements with a focus on tolerance
Evaluating series circuits using simulations and testing of prototypes
Evaluating parallel circuits using simulations and testing of prototypes
Evaluating series-parallel combination circuits
Use of variable and fixed resistors in more complex circuitry
DC circuits analysis using network theorems
Control of electromagnetic circuits using software code

Grading System:
An overall grade of C or higher is required for transferability.

A = 90 - 100
B = 80 - 89
C = 70 - 79
D = 60 - 69
F = 0 - 59
