Course Title |
Electric Circuits II |
|
Course Description |
Electric Circuits II (EE 205) is one of the foundation
courses offered each semester by the Electrical Engineering department of
KFUPM. Whereas the fundamentals of electrical circuits are taught in Electric
Circuits I (EE 201), EE 205 helps develop the understanding of more advanced
and closer to real-life circuits, built up on the knowledge learned in EE201.
EE 205 takes students one step further by introducing not only new concepts
in circuit analysis, such as, computer aided circuit analysis, complex
frequency, two port network, but also introducing circuits representative of
important electrical systems, such as, resonant circuits, filters and
transformers. The knowledge earned and the concepts developed in this course
are essential for the understanding of other advanced and specialized courses
in electrical engineering |

Course Objectives (grid) |
By the end this course, students will be able
to learn about 01. Electric Circuits: 1- phase & 3 -
phase 02. Responses of RLC circuits: natural & step response 03. State equation and computer aided circuit
analysis 04. Resonant circuits 05. Circuit analysis in s-domain or complex
frequency 06. Mutual inductance & transformers 07. Filters & Bode plots 08. Two-port networks |

Learners Description |
Electrical Circuits is one of the very basic courses in electrical engineering. Students who want to specialize in electrical engineering and also professionals who want to brush up their elementary knowledge would highly benefit from an on-line course in electrical circuits course. A large number of students (around 200) take up this course in each academic year. During regular semesters (fall and spring), there are about three to five sections of EE 205 offered to the students. During summer, there is usually 1 section. |

Course Activities |
·
Problem based
approach will be used in this course to enhance students understanding for
important issues ·
On online
discussions (one-to-one, one-to-many) & interactive discussions with the
instructor through individual or in group of students. Its main purpose will
be enriching student’s knowledge and understanding of the course contents. ·
Practice problems
will be given at the end of each lecture so that students have more
understanding of the contents of the lecture ·
Bank of quizzes will
be prepared and will be available to the students from time to time. · Additional reading sources will be provided through the course file and web links throughout the semester. |
