This course covers the fundamental concepts of Electricity (Direct Current, Energy, Voltage, and Power) as well as basic Electronics, which allows students to understand how circuits work. The course covers many important components to include resistors, capacitors and diodes as well as discovering the important laws which govern these concepts to include Ohm’s law, Kirchhoff’s law, etc. 

Every aspect of engineering practice, and of everyday life, has been affected in some way or another by electrical and electronic devices and instruments.  These advances in electrical engineering technology have had enormous impacts on all other fields of engineering, including mechanical, industrial, computer, civil, aeronautical, aerospace, chemical, nuclear, materials, and biological engineering.   

Textbook readings and short lectures highlighting the key topics of each reading will be provided for most modules: weeks. Some modules: weeks contain reading assignments from external sources. 

Course Requirements Checklist

After reading the Course Syllabus and Student Expectations, the student will complete the related checklist found in the Course Overview. 

Discussions (3)

Discussions are collaborative learning experiences. Therefore, the student is required to provide a thread in response to the prompt provided for each discussion and follow this up with replies to two of their classmates’ threads. Each thread must be at least 250-350 words, demonstrate course-related and Bible-related knowledge, and include at least 1 citation in current APA format. Each reply must be at least 250-350 words and include at least 1 citation in current APA format.

There will be 6 assignments issued during the course related to electrical systems analysis.  

Each quiz will cover the Learn material for the assigned module. Each quiz will be open-book/open-notes, contain 10 fill-in-the-blank and true/false questions, and have a 25 minute time limit.

A mid-term and final exam will be issued in this course. Both exams contain 40 fill-in-the-blank and true/false questions and have a 90 minute time limit.
