EET 125 - DC Electronics - Circuits I

5 Credit(s)

Corequisite(s): EET 100 and MTH 60 or MTH 63 or designated placement.

Course Description: Covers atomic and direct current (DC) electrical theory applicable to the field of electronics. Introduces voltage, current, resistance, and power concepts in analysis, construction, and testing and troubleshooting of resistive DC circuits. Includes series, parallel, and series-parallel resistive circuit analysis techniques, and theorems. A 3-hour per week open laboratory includes the application of computer tools in circuit design, evaluation, troubleshooting, and analysis. Some labs and projects can be done remotely. Promotes and supports sustainable and green technologies.

Course Level: Career/Tech Preparatory
