 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.
