<p>The aim of this unit is to introduce electrical circuits and the relevant analysis techniques. This unit covers fundamental concepts and knowledge including electrons, charges, currents, voltages, power, resistors, inductors, capacitors, Kirchhoff’s laws, Thevenin Theorem, Mesh analysis, transient responses of RLC circuits, phasors analysis, etc. It is about “circuit analysis” from an engineering perspective as well as developing basic problem-solving skills as they apply to situations an engineer is likely to encounter</p>

FedTASK
FedTASK
<p>Federation University recognises that students require key transferable employability skills to prepare them for their future workplace and society. FedTASKs (<strong>T</strong>ransferable <strong>A</strong>ttributes <strong>S</strong>kills and <strong>K</strong>nowledge) provide a targeted focus on five key, transferable Attributes, Skills, and Knowledge that are embedded within curriculum, developed gradually towards successful measures and interlinked with cross-discipline and co-operative learning opportunities.</p>
