Welcome from Prof. Rappaport

Welcome to all of the new ECE undergraduates students at the school of engineering! I am very excited to be teaching EE2013, “Fundamentals of Electric Circuits I“, a very important core course in ECE, and I look forward to having you in class!

This course is the fundamental core course for all degrees in ECE, and you must master this material to succeed in your undergraduates studies, in research, and in life. I encourage students to buy the book early, and begin reading the book (8th edition US edition) *before* our first day of class. I will hold weekly office hours, we will work lots of problems, and if needed we will hold extra office hours, and we will have TAs to help everyone master the material, but you will have to work hard. This is a challenging and rigorous class; it is also required class for your program. Come prepared to work and to learn this wonderful field!

Course Description
This course covers Passive DC circuit elements, Kirchoff’s laws, electric power calculations, analysis of DC circuits, Nodal and Loop analysis techniques, voltage and current division, Thevenin’s and Norton’s theorems, and source-free and forced responses of RL, RC and RLC circuits. A minimum of C- is required to take other EE courses.

Prerequisites
MA-UY 2012 Elements of linear algebra I
MA-UY 2132 Ordinary Differential Equations
PH-UY 2023 Electricity, Magnetism, & Fluids
