EE: Principles and Applications of Electrical Engineering
Lecturer: Dr. Mohammed Morsy Farag
Overview
This course introduces fundamentals
and applications of
electrical engineering for non-EE students.Course objectives include:
- Present the principles of electrical, electronic, and electromechanical engineering to an audience composed of non–electrical engineering majors.
- Present these principles by focusing on the important results and applications and presenting the students with the most appropriate analytical and computational tools to solve a variety of practical problems.
- Illustrate, by way of concrete, fully worked examples, a number of relevant applications of electrical engineering principles.
- Practice modeling and simulation using SPICE CAD tools to increase understanding of the materials taught in the course
- Lectures (2 hours), Tutorials (2 hours), Lab (2 hours)
- Office Hours: Saturday 12:00AM to 2:00PM.
