Provides students with an understanding and appreciation of techniques for analysing and designing simple dc and ac circuits for electronics, power and communications applications. The course approaches these objectives from the perspectives of theory and practical implementation.

Objectives . Provide students an overview and appreciation of the problems and theoretical tools to be further developed in the Electrical engineering degree.
. Introduction to the fundamental techniques for analysis and design of dc and ac circuits.
. Provide practical 'hands on' experience through numerous laboratory sessions.

Compulsory Components
Compulsory Course Component An average mark in the laboratory component of at least 50% is required to pass the course. This ensures students achieve an appropriate level of practical experience as described in the course objectives. Laboratory marks are progressively determined and recorded in Blackboard so students are able to self monitor their progress in meeting this criteria. In the event of adverse circumstances, either an exemption in an individual laboratory, or a repeat laboratory can be arranged.
