Overview of Learning Activities

In this course, you will learn through the following activities:
• Weekly lectures will guide you to get familiar with the theoretical principles pertaining to the course topics. Attendance at lectures and laboratory sessions where syllabus material will be presented and explained, and the subject will be illustrated with demonstrations and examples;
• The laboratory activities will help you relate theory with practice and develop practical circuit testing and diagnostic skills completion of tutorial questions, laboratory exercises and projects designed to give further practice in the application of theory and procedures, and to give feedback on student progress and understanding;
• The written and practical assignments will challenge you through application-oriented problems, and will enhance your problem solving skills individually or in teams intended to develop effectiveness in team environment. This will consist of AC circuit analysis and other problems requiring an integrated understanding of the subject matter; and
• The directed study time is expected for every student to work through the learning materials presented in classes to gain practice in solving conceptual and numerical problems.
 


Overview of Learning Resources

Learning resources will consist of recommended references and class notes which may be accessed through CANVAS.
The set of references is deliberately broad, including books, journal publications, government reports, industry standards and handbooks, and web-based resources.
