Portland Community College | Portland, Oregon

Use appropriate circuit analysis techniques to analyze for AC and sinusoidal systems
Recognize and analyze 2nd order systems 85
Apply basic magnetic concepts to analyze magnetic circuit systems
Analyze power development and distribution systems

Assessment methods are to be determined by the instructor. Typically, in class exams and quizzes, and homework assignments
will be used. Lab work is typically assessed by a lab notebook, formal lab reports, performance of experiments, and possibly a lab
exam.
