1. Ability to analyze linear circuits excited by steady state sinusoidal sources and compute phaser and instantaneous voltages and currents and complex and time-average power.
2. Ability to derive transfer functions, two-port parameters, and frequency response from circuits containing independent sources, dependent sources, resistors, capacitors, inductors, operational amplifiers, transformers, and mutual inductance elements.
3. Ability to analyze the step response of linear circuits using Laplace transform theory.
4. The ability to use SPICE for determining circuit voltages and currents given sinusoidal or transient sources.
5. Ability to describe a solution with functional block diagrams (top-down design approach).
6. Ability to work as a team to formulate and solve an engineering problem.
7. Ability to use computer programs (such as MATLAB and SPICE) for optimizing design parameters and verify design performance.
