Course overview and goals
Electrical engineering is originally based on electromagnetism, and many other principles and theories such as quantum physics and information theory have been integrated later to cover electronics. The application areas of electrical engineering include electrical power, information and communication technology, computer, and instrumentation and measurement. This course provides the most essential topics in electrical engineering, i.e. electrical and electronic circuits, magnetic circuits, as well as the applications to electrical power.
This course aims to allow students in the Undergraduate Major of Transdisciplinary Science and Engineering (who aim at studying various fields of engineering sciences) to grasp the basic essential ideas related to electrical and electronic engineering (electrical engineering in the broad sense). By taking this course, students will be able to understand essential concepts and their application in electrical engineering in a broad sense, in preparation for their further studies on individual subjects.
Course description and aims
By the end of this course, students will be able to explain the essential knowldeg and theories related to electrical-magnetic engineering, and will be ready to study by themselves further on individual subjects such as electrical engineering technologies.
Keywords
circuit theory, transistor, electronics circuit, electrical power transfer
Competencies
- Specialist skills
- Intercultural skills
