Electrical
and computer engineering (ECE) deals with the application of electrical and
electronic technology to the daily needs of people. Almost every aspect of
their lives and occupations are controlled by ECE. To understand the details
of ECE it is necessary to study circuit analysis. The reason for this is that
it is the one thing that ties all branches of ECE together; as such, it lays
the foundation for analysis, design, and operation of electrical devices and
systems.
This class helps provide a foundation for
you to build on. We will do this by analyzing direct-current (dc) circuits. You will continue, in subsequent ECE courses, to update the
knowledge you gain here and apply it to more complex circuits. Since this course is the prerequisite for just about
everything you will be doing in ECE, it is vital that you gain a confident grasp of
circuit and systems fundamentals.
