====== Electrical Engineering and Electronics 1 (EEE1) ======

You already know V-I-R and you not only connect AC/DC with music?  \\ Great! Then you should Go one step further.  

This course introduces the fundamental principles of electrical engineering and electronics. \\ 
It spans from basic electrical quantities to DC networks, electrostatics, magnetostatics, and a first introduction to operational amplifiers. \\ 
The course combines theory, worked examples, and practical exercises with simulations and real-world devices.
