ELEC ENG 2CJ4: Circuits and Systems 

Course Objectives:

   At the end of this course, students will be able to solve electric circuits involving both passive and active elements for voltages at nodes, and branch or loop currents. They will be able to solve linear transient circuit problems involving second-order systems using either time-domain or Laplace transform techniques, and will be able to analyze and sketch the frequency response of a circuit. In addition, students will have developed efficient tools for analyzing two-port networks and three-phase circuits, and will have been introduced to magnetic circuits.
