Static signals and circuits

Essential principles and practical tools of electrical engineering. Starting with the role of an engineer and building through to voltage, current, resistance, and power, the course provides a structured approach to understanding circuit behavior. Students will gain proficiency in network analysis techniques, including node voltage and mesh current methods, and will explore key components like operational amplifiers, diodes, transistors, and MOSFETs.

Throughout the course, theoretical concepts are reinforced with problem-solving sessions and hands-on measurement labs. The content is ideal for undergraduates, hobbyists, and professionals seeking to strengthen their fundamentals or prepare for the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam.

You’ll begin with the fundamental building blocks — ideal circuit elements, Kirchhoff’s laws, and Ohm’s Law — before moving on to powerful network analysis techniques, such as node-voltage and mesh-current methods. You’ll explore how to model and work with practical components, including resistors, diodes, transistors, and operational amplifiers, while understanding their limitations and behavior under real conditions.

The curriculum includes step-by-step solved problems, simulation labs using SIMetrix, and extensive hands-on hardware experiments to reinforce theoretical knowledge. By actively working through measurement labs, students gain critical skills in circuit debugging, using digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, and test kits.

Prepare to tackle real-world design challenges with confidence, armed with a solid foundation in the essential principles of electrical engineering.
