Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:
In this course, we will clarify the difference between steady-state and transient phenomena, and learn about the transient phenomena of single- and multiple-energy circuits and distributed-element circuits. We will describe how to solve differential equations using Laplace transform for such transient phenomena.
Style:
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for evaluation.
100% on periodic exams.
The minimum score for a pass will be 60 marks on the above exams.
The criteria for a pass is the following three points:
(1) Understand the basic questions and solutions for transient phenomena.
(2) Understand and can analyze transient phenomena in single- and multiple-energy circuits and distributed-element circuits
(3) Understand not only mathematical interpretation but also physical meaning. 
Notice:
Since the course will mainly involve solving differential equations using Laplace transform, students need to study the Laplace transform and inverse conversions of various mathematical functions.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for a passing grade.
