Unit Code: EEB501

Unit Name: Introduction to Electrical and Electronics Engineering

Description: In this modern era, electrical engineers have to generally deal with the study and applications of electricity, electronics and electromagnetism as they work in different industries requiring a range of skills from basic circuit theory to management-level skills. In this course, you will learn about the basics of electrical and electronic components/devices, measuring instruments, and the design and analysis of simple electrical circuits. You will learn to use NI Multisim for testing and analyzing electrical circuits.

Learning Target Outcomes: On successful completion of this course, the student should be able to: 1. Understand the performance, characteristics and applications of electronic devices and circuits, using accepted terminology and appropriate performance parameters. (WA1) 2. Apply network theorems and related analytical techniques to evaluate DC and AC circuits. (WA2) 3. Analyse single-phase and three-phase AC circuits. (WA2) 4. Analyse and determine the steady state behaviour of simple R-L-C circuits. (WA2) 5. Implement, analyse and evaluate electrical circuits on the breadboard and using NI Multisim (WA5)
