Principles of Electrical Engineering
Course Outline
Level: 2nd Year
Mode: online and in-person
This course focuses on the understanding of principles of electrical engineering. The course will enable students to study practical electrical circuits and control systems and understand how fundamental concepts in electrical engineering are linked with mathematical tools. The analysis aspects of the course will be relevant to almost every other course in electrical engineering.
Topics
The topics covered in this course include:
Linear Systems
Convolution
Linear Transforms
The Discrete Fourier Transform
Electric Motors
Communications Systems
Control Systems
Applications of Vector Calculus
Powerpoint Presentations
The slide decks for this course are short presentations of approximately 10 minutes in duration immediately followed by in class exercises.
Lecture Notes
The lecture notes contain the same content that is covered in the Powerpoint presentations but in a more easily readable format and including exercises.
Videos
The course material includes short pre-recorded videos of the lecture content plus instructional videos on the use of software and equipment for the laboratory tasks and tutorials.
Quizzes
Short quizzes are held at the start of each lecture to motivate students to complete the pre-learning tasks. A prize is given at the end of the course to the team with the highest score in the quizzes.
Assignments
The assignment handouts are well structured and provide enough detail for a student to quickly engage in the problem solving process.
Marking Rubrics
Each assignment is accompanied by a marking rubric that allows the student to target their efforts towards achieving the desired learning outcomes.
