Electrical engineering (EE) is concerned with the basic forms of energy that run our world and the exciting fields of electronics and information technology. Electronics continues to bring forth new breakthroughs in solid-state technology (transistors, integrated circuits, LSI and VLSI chips, microprocessors, lasers, optical fibers), which in turn fuel the unprecedented revolution in telecommunications (World Wide Web, voice, and data), computers (neural network, distributed, and intelligent), instrumentation (biomedical, intelligent), and many other areas.

EE 211 introduces the engineering student to the following topics: linear passive circuits, time domain analysis, transient and steady-state responses, phasors, impedance and admittance; power and energy, frequency responses, resonance.

An Electric Circuit is an unbroken path along which an electric current exists or is intended or able to flow. A battery-powered circuit is an example of a direct-current circuit; the voltages and currents are constant in magnitude and do not vary with time. In alternating-current circuits, the voltage and current periodically reverse direction with time.
