2. LEARNING OUTCOMES
Learning Outcomes
It is a prerequisite course introducing students to circuit analysis, leading through to an
intermediate level of using transforms (Laplace & Fourier).
The student upon the completion of the course he will be able to:
 Select the appropriate analysis methodology
 Apply all the analysis methods,
 competence to provide transfer functions, frequency response plots, impulse and
step response for different circuits,
 Construct the functions of simple circuits by interpretation of specifications.
 Identify different circuits
 Apply theoretical knowledge in performing the lab measurements
 Prepare simulation programs
 Organise presentation of your lab work
 a laboratory project using ICT means
General Skills
- Search, analysis and synthesis of data and information using the required technologies
- Autonomous work
