Importance of the Course

This course is the second course in electric circuits for electrical

engineering, mechanical engineering and computer engineering

students.

It aims to introduce the concepts of circuit analysis in three

different domains namely; time domain, frequency domain and in

Laplace domain.

It also provides the students with the techniques needed for the

analysis of active circuits such as Filter circuits and Amplifiers.

Tutorials

Every week the instructor will assign problems from the text book.

These problems will be posted on the course webpage

In the tutorial, some of the assigned problems will be worked out on

the board.

You will be asked to hand in 3 assignments. Assignments’ grade will

be based on the best 2.

Three quizzes will be conducted to evaluate your performance and

the quiz mark will be based on the best 2.

Laboratories

Lab sessions are one slot/week.

The lab manual is posted on the course webpage before your

lab session.

It is necessary to go through the lab manual before attending

each lab session.

The lab instructor will evaluate your performance during the

lab and a lab report has to be submitted to your lab instructor

at the end of each session.

Instructor Recommendations for a Successful Semester

• Try to attend all lectures, laboratories and tutorials for your

own benefits and be on time.

• Make a good plan for your study and manage your time.

• Hand in the assignments, reports and quizzes on time, late

reports will be penalized.

• Try to solve all the end of chapters’ problems to gain better

problem solving skills.

• Update your instructor with any problem that might arise in

the tutorial or in the lab.
