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.

Learning outcomes

After completing this course, students will be able to:
  1. Apply SI units, prefixes, and electrical terminology consistently.
  2. Explain and calculate fundamental electrical quantities such as charge, current, voltage, resistance, power, and energy.
  3. Analyze DC circuits using Kirchhoff’s laws, source equivalents, and two-port theory.
  4. Describe electric and magnetic fields, calculate key field distributions, and apply them to capacitors, inductors, and energy storage.
  5. Design and analyze simple operational amplifier circuits with feedback and comparator functions.

Prerequisites

  1. Basic physics (mechanics, Newton’s laws, Coulomb’s law).
  2. Basic calculus (differentiation and integration).
  3. Familiarity with algebraic manipulation.
