Course

Fundamentals of solid-state physics- Fundamental electrical laws – Fundamental circuit elements: Charge, Voltage, and Current Resistance -Ohm’s Law – Kirchoff’s Voltage Law – Kirchoff’s Current Law – Thevenin Equivalent Circuit – Norton Equivalent Circuit – Inductors and Capacitors – Impedance and AC Sinusoidal Signals – Operational Amplifiers – Semiconductor Devices – Transistors Circuits – Analog-to-Digital and Digital-to-Analog Conversion.

Course Objectives

The course will lay down the basic concepts and techniques of electrical engineering needed for advanced topics in AI. It will explore the concepts initially through computational experiments and then try to understand the concepts/theory behind it. It will help the students to perceive the engineering problems using the fundamental concepts in electrical engineering. Another goal of the course is to provide connection between the concepts of electrical engineering, mathematics and computational thinking.
