ELEC2100: Fundamentals of Elec and Electronic Eng
2024 unit information
This unit of study aims to develop knowledge of the fundamental concepts and building blocks of electrical and electronics circuits. This is afoundation unit in circuit theory. Circuit theory is the electrical engineer's fundamental tool. The concepts learnt in this unit will be made use ofheavily in many units of study (in later years) in the areas of electronics, instrumentation, electrical machines, power systems, communicationsystems, and signal processing.
