ENGR 2102 Engineering Foundations Studio II

Students in this course will further their knowledge and understanding of circuit elements such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes and transistors. Physics concepts such as electrostatics, Coulombs Law, magnetic fields and flux, Lorenz law will be introduced. Students will learn to apply tools such as the Kirchoff current and voltage laws to analyze circuits. Students will learn general techniques to solve first and second order differential equations. These techniques will then be applied to analyzing the behavior and frequency response of circuits.
