ELE 2021 - Transfer Electric Circuits

3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits

Course Description
This course is utilized to document approved transfer credit in calculus-based engineering Electric Circuits from another college, normally as part of an articulation agreement, and is not intended for regular offering at MSOE. Topics include electrical quantities and passive components, DC and AC steady-state series-parallel circuit analysis using circuit laws and analysis techniques, ideal operational amplifier circuits in standard configurations, AC complex power, Thévenin and Norton equivalent circuits of DC and AC circuits, and the step responses of series and parallel RL, RC, and RLC circuits with initial conditions using differential equation-based time domain analysis techniques. The transfer course must contain a corresponding laboratory component.
Prereq: None
Note: Both ELE 2021 Transfer Electric Circuits and ELE 2022 Bridge Electric Circuits are required to satisfy the ELE 2001 and ELE 2011, Electric Circuits I and II, respectively, course requirements at MSOE.
This course meets the following Raider Core CLO Requirement: None
