    Description
    ENGR 400 Introduction to Electrical Circuits and Devices Units: 3 Hours: 54 hours LEC; 18 hours LAB Prerequisite: PHYS 421 with a grade of "C" or better Transferable: CSU; UC This course will provide engineering students with circuit analysis concepts and applications that will be of value in any engineering field as well as a solid foundation for electrical engineering and related majors. The course includes the analysis of circuits with resistors, inductors, capacitors, and independent and dependent voltage and current sources. Many analysis techniques will be applied to DC and AC circuits. Differential equations will be used to find the transient response of circuits. Power calculations will be performed on both DC and AC circuits, including an introduction to three- phase AC power. This course is required for most engineering Bachelors of Science degrees.
