This course provides fundamental knowledge of circuit theory for students majoring in the given areas of specialty. It focuses on theories and various methods for analysis of lumped parameter linear circuits. It also includes the experiments of analysis and design problems.

    On the successful completion of the module, students will be able to:

  1. Understand the development of circuit theory, fundamental concepts and laws in circuits.

  2. Analyze circuits by various methods such as decomposition and superposition, equivalent transformation, systematic methods and computer-aided analysis methods.

  3. Analyze circuits with passive elements, controlled source and amplifier in DC driven circuits, 1st-order, 2nd-order transient circuits, sinusoidal steady-state circuits, mutual coupled circuits, circuits with linear transformer, and three-phase circuits.

  4. Describe an engineering problem, build up its mathematical model, and find its solution.

  5. Develop ability in research, time managing, and skills in communication and cooperation through group work.

Homework Totally sixteen homework is assigned. Homework solutions are posted after the due date. Homework assignments are collected at/before the class on Tuesday. The Grading of homework will be upload to the course website each week.

Project & Report:

(1) Basic project: each student needs to do practice for simulation software and hardware with portable experimental kit. 

(2) Design project: two students as a group finish one design project from the topic list, including circuit design, simulation, presentation, report…. Due on the last day of class.

Quizzes Quizzes are given randomly at the end of some classes. Quiz topics are based on the contents discussed on the previous class. Solutions are posted after the quiz date on the website or discussed on the later class. NO MAKE-UP QUIZ is accepted!

Exams Mid-term exam (120 minutes, closed-book) is given after Chapter 2. Final exam (120 minutes, closed-book) is given after the end of Class. Exam contents are based on materials covered in lectures, homework and quizzes.

Grading The overall grade of the course is determined based on homework, quizzes, project and final exam as below.

    Homework & Quizzes  10%

    Moocs                           5%

    Project Report              10%

    Mid-term Exam             15%

    Final Exams                  60%

Additional points: Extra points can be added to the 10% homework grades. Bonus problems with additional points are assigned with each homework. Additional points are also given to students by instructor based on class performance, discussion，Q&A.
