Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:

An electrical circuit is a circuit made up of elements of resistance, inductance, and capacitance. It forms the basis for electrical engineering including electronic, communication, and information engineering. The aim of this course is to learn about the relationship between current and voltage in electrical circuits and to be able to perform circuit analysis.

Style:

Classes are mainly conducted by taking notes. There will be handouts as necessary. There will be exercises and assignments every week.

Notice:

This course's content will amount to 90 hours of study in total. These hours include the learning time guaranteed in classes and the standard self-study time required for pre-study / review, and completing assignment reports.
This course assumes students have taken Electrical Circuits I and II, Circuit Theory, and Transient Analysis on Electric Circuits (compulsory in years 1 to 4) taught in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, or have taken Electrical and Electronics Engineering I (compulsory in year 4), and Electrical and Electronics Engineering II (selected for year 5) taught in the Mechanical Engineering Department in Akashi Kosen. Students need to have a basic knowledge of the contents of these subjects.
If students wish, they can take a midterm exam outside of class hours. The evaluation for the exam in this case will be the average score of the midterm and final exams.
Students who miss 1/4 or more of classes will not be eligible for a passing grade.
