'''#REDIRECT [[Electrical and Computer Engineering|gp:ECE]] 2004: Electric Circuit Analysis''', commonly referred to as '''circuits''', is the lecture portion of the in-major introductory circuits class. It is a required course for [[computer engineering]] and [[electrical engineering]] students. It covers resistors, voltage and current sources, capacitors, inductors and op-amps. These components are studied from an AC and DC perspective, with the first third of the course mostly about DC, the middle third about transient and steady state responses of RC, L/R and RLC circuits, and the final third of the class analyzing circuits using [[w:Phasor (sine waves)|phasors]]. =Required Software=PSpice is nominally required for this class, but since this is really the theory part, its use is minimal. The homework assignments that occasionally require simulations have been successfully completed by students using [[Qucs]] in the past. Just ask your professor about using [[Free Software]]. MATLAB use can be replaced with the likes of [[QtOctave]]. =See Also=* [[ECE 2074 Electric Circuit Analysis Laboratory]]* [[Qucs]]* [[QtOctave]] [[Category:Electrical and computer engineering courses]]
