Course Objectives	The course aims to introduce the concepts of the fundamental principles of electrical circuits and techniques of circuit analysis to Computer Engineering students. Topics covered include the analysis of passive dc circuits; resistive elements and circuits; independent sources; KVL and KCL, mesh currents and node voltages, linearity, superposition, Thevenin's and Norton’s equivalents; operational amplifiers; energy storage elements: inductance and capacitance; transient response of first order circuits; time constants; sinusoidal steady state analysis: phasors, impedance, average power flow, AC power, maximum power transfer, transfer function.
Learning Outcomes	The students who succeeded in this course; Explain the methodology of modeling electrical and electronic systems by lumped circuit models, Describe DC resistive circuits using circuit analysis techniques (such as mesh currents, nodal voltages), Analyse circuits using network theorems such as superposition, Thevenin’s and Norton’s Theorems, Identify operational amplifier circuits, Formulate RC and RL circuits using differential equations, Interpret RC and RL circuits driven by step or sinusiodal sources, Express R-L-C circuits using phasors, Contruct simple electrical circuits in the laboratory.
Course Description	The following topics will be included: DC analysis of resistive networks, operational amplifiers, time-domain analysis of first order (RC, RL) circuits, analysis of complex circuits using phasor, derivation and plot of transfer functions, frequency-domain analysis of second order (RLC) circuits.
