Description This subject will be offered at Engineering Innovation Hub - Hassall St, Parramatta campus. This subject covers the fundamentals of circuit, system and signal analysis on which most other courses in the electrical engineering curriculum are built. The subject provides a foundation in frequency domain analysis and in transform methods, as well as significantly extending alternate current analysis, transient analysis and other fundamental circuit analysis tools. Although there is a practical program in the laboratory, the theory aspects of this course are the primary focus.
