Description This subject aims to equip the student with the tools needed for the design and analysis of electrical and electronic circuits. It also introduces various techniques of circuit analysis, convolution, mutual coupling, frequency response and two-ports loops.Offerings of alternate subjects are dependent on there being sufficient student enrolment numbers. If enrolments are low, the College may cancel delivery of the alternate subject.
