7- Justification/Rationale for the course:
Circuits based on alternating current are extremely important for any electrical engineer.
This course will give the student the tools needed to analyze components’ response (in
both the time and frequency domain) to sinusoidal varying inputs.
8- Course learning outcomes / expected performance criteria
The successful student will be able to:
1. Perform AC steady-state power analysis on single and three phase circuits.
2. Analyze circuits containing mutual inductance and ideal transformers
3. Derive transfer functions (variable frequency response) from circuits containing
independent sources, dependent sources, resistors, capacitors, operational
amplifiers, transformers, and mutual inductance elements.
4. Calculate Laplace transforms and inverse Laplace transforms.
5. Apply Laplace transforms to circuit analysis.
9- Topics covered.
1. AC Steady State Analysis.
2. Steady-State power analysis.
3. Magnetically coupled networks.
4. Variable Frequency Network
5. Laplace Transforms
6. Applications of Laplace Transforms to Circuit Analysis

15- Course Policies:
Absence Policy*: Students will be dropped from the course with an F* after three
unexcused absences. If not dropped from the class, grade will be lowered one letter for
each three absences, excused or non-excused.
Academic Dishonesty Policy*: Cheating or plagiarism is not tolerated and repercussions
will range from a grade of zero on the assignment to expulsion from the university.
Academic Misconduct Policy*: Disruption of teaching is not tolerated and repercussion
will range from a verbal warning to expulsion from the class.
Make Up Tests: Make-up tests will be administered from 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. on Fridays by
appointment and only for excused absences. Tests must be taken within 6 weekdays of
the original date of the test. Make-up quizzes are not available.
