About this Unit

Electricity is the greatest energy source of our time. Engineers from all disciplines need to have a basic understanding of the fundamental principles of this valuable energy source, as well as the main tools and techniques used to specify and analyse electrical circuits. This unit covers the fundamentals of Direct Current (DC) and Alternating Current (AC) circuit analysis. The use of electricity in electro-mechanical and electronic systems is covered, with emphasis in instrumentation and control. To complete the picture, computer embedded systems are introduced as a tool for monitoring and controlling engineering processes, whether they be a bridge, a refinery, or a robot. On completion of this unit, students should be able to participate in a multidisciplinary conversation about electrical systems.
