Course description
Students who wish to study robotics, information systems, or, in any case, students who are likely to be involved in a field that deals with things that move with electricity are strongly recommended to take this course in the future. The knowledge in this course is essential for students to learn basic electronics, digital circuits, signal processing, control engineering, motion control, robotics, etc., after the second year. This lecture covers the fundamentals of electric circuits. Specifically, students will learn the correct understanding of international units and significant figures, followed by an understanding of DC and AC circuits and basic calculation methods.
Purpose of class
Electricity is indispensable in our lives today. First, robots run on electricity. That is, the motors that operate the robot, the sensors for environmental awareness, and the computers that control the whole system and communicate with the outside world all run on electricity. Houses have many lighting fixtures, refrigerators, air conditioners, microwave ovens, etc., buildings have automatic doors, elevators, and escalators, and outdoors, not only trains and electric cars, but even gasoline-powered cars are powered by electricity and controlled by computers. In the sky, most airplanes fly on jet engines, but the computers that control them are powered by electricity. The same is true of drones, which have been the focus of much attention. In other words, if you don't know electricity, you don't understand the world. Understanding and being able to use electricity requires, above all, knowledge of electrical circuits.
Goals and objectives
  1. Enable the use of SI units and significant figures.
  2. Able to perform basic analytical calculations and design of DC circuits.
  3. Able to perform basic analytical calculations and design of AC circuits.
