Recommended Prerequisites
Attendance and knowledge acquisition transmitted in the curricular unit of Electrical Circuits Laboratory. Domain of mathematical tools transmitted in the curricular units of Algebra, Mathematical Analysis I and II
Teaching Methods
The course is based on Theoretical/Practical type classes, with the presentation and discussion of the subjects, followed by application problems solved with/by the students. The students can choose between two evaluation systems: (1) distributed evaluation, composed of three mini tests plus one exam; (2) or evaluation based only on one exam. For both systems, all tests and exams are written evaluations. The tests are individual, and their dates might be not transmitted to the students. The final classification is obtained by combining the result of the exam plus the tests, for the case of the
Learning Outcomes
Learning of concepts and techniques of analysis of electrical circuits.
Consolidate the knowledge acquired in the unit of Electrical Circuits Laboratory, concerning the use of basic tools of linear circuits analysis, essential for the success in other units that depend on this ability. Increase student’s capability of electrical circuits analysis and additionally increase their aptitude for projecting and dimensioning simple circuits.
