MCCCD Official Course Competencies
1. Introduce the basic strategy for an analysis of electrical circuits: basic quantities and circuits elements. (I) 2. Employ Ohm`s law and Kirchoff`s laws in the analysis of a circuit. Compute the equivalent resistance combination in series and/or parallel. (II) 3. Analyze electric circuits containing both independent and dependent sources by employing fundamental laws of electricity. (II) 4. Apply both the node voltage and loop current methods as useful techniques for circuit analysis. (III) 5. Analyze the different Operational Amplifier models and its equivalent circuit. (IV) 6. Apply the computer-aided analysis program Personal Computer Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (PSPICE) to circuits that contain a variety of sources. (V) 7. Use the principles of superposition, Thevenin`s and Norton`s theorems to analyze electric circuits. (VI) 8. Compute the equivalent capacitance when capacitors are interconnected in series or parallel and how to determine equivalent inductance when these elements are interconnected. (VII) 9. Analyze Resistor-Capacitor (RC) and Resistor-Inductor (RL) circuits containing only a single energy storage element (i.e., C or L) involving the solution of a first-order differential equation. (VIII) 10. Perform the analysis of RLC circuits that leads to a second- order differential equation. (IX) 11. Apply a solution approach for Alternating Current (AC) circuits involving an analysis in the frequency domain including impedance and admittance as they are used in conjunction with Phasors to solve AC circuits containing a single source.
