SYNOPSIS

ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS designed to provide students with the knowledge of electrical

circuits. It emphasizes the principles of an alternating current AC waveform and
sinusoidal steady-state circuit analysis. This course also covers the applications of
three phase system and operation of various types of transformers.

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLO)

Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:-

1. apply the concept and principles of AC electrical circuit and their analysis using
AC circuit law. (C3 , PLO1)

2. solve problems of AC electrical circuit using the appropriate AC electrical laws

and theorems. (C3 , PLO2)

3. conduct the laboratory exercises of AC electrical circuit using appropriate

electrical equipments. (P4 , PLO5)

4. demonstrate ability to work in team to complete assigned tasks during practical

work sessions. (A3 , PLO11)

ASSESSMENT

The course assessment is carried out in two sections:

i. Continuous Assessment (CA) – 50%

Coursework assessment that measures knowledge, practical skills and generic skills are carried out in the form of continuous assessment.
Coursework assessment total score comprises the knowledge and practical marks ONLY. It does not include the mark of generic skills.

ii. Final Examination Assessment (FE) – 50%

Final examination is carried out at the end of the semester.
