Aims & Objectives:

To develop circuit analysis skills which form the foundation of later electronic and computer engineering subjects, including electronics, controls, fields and power systems.
Introduce the students to basics of discrete electronic components, such as diodes and transistors and their characteristics and applications.

Teaching Methods:

Lectures (48 hours), Tutorials (8 hours) and Laboratories (10 hours).

Assessment:

Examination (70%), Labs (30%)
