ECE 211 Circuit Analysis I
NTU Course BE 312A
Supplemental Notes and Examples
COURSE OBJECTIVES and PROGRAM OUTCOMES
There are 8 main Course Objectives for students taking ECE 211:
|
1.
|
To learn how to analyze dc resistive circuits, using network theorems such as superposition, Thevenin's Theorem and Norton's Theorem |
|
2.
|
To analyze simple digital logic circuit elements, using the MOSFET device as a switch |
|
3.
|
To understand first-order transient behavior in RC and RL circuits, related first-order differential equations, and application to simple logic gate devices |
|
4.
|
To understand RC propagation delays in digital circuits, the modeling of these circuits with driving sources, and related inhomogeneous differential equations |
|
5.
|
To analyze the transient response of 2nd-order RLC circuits, and the solutions to related 2nd-order differential equations |
|
6.
|
To understand the response of 2nd-order RLC circuits with driving sources, and related inhomogeneous differential equations |
|
7.
|
To learn how to use modern software tools (e.g. PSPICE) for analysis and simulation of electronic circuits |
|
8.
|
To conduct laboratory hardware experiments for simple electronic circuits |
These course objectives are related in part to ten broad capabilities (Program Outcomes) that we expect for all our BS graduates in the EE and CSE programs. These are related as shown in the table below.
