providing students with anintroduction to time domain (transient) analysis of R, L, C elements and energy storage ininductive and capacitive circuits. The response of source-free RL, RC, and RLC circuits aredeveloped followed by response to constant voltage and current sources. Both courses arelecture-laboratory integrated. The objective of this hands-on lecture/laboratory courses is tointroduce Engineering Technology students to fundamentals of DC and AC circuit analysis.Students will also be introduced to a set of experiments that support the principles learned duringthe lectures. Special attention is given to testing, maintenance, and troubleshooting of ACcircuits used in industrial applications. Another goal is to enhance the students

: Principles and Perspectives (1)ISBN-13: 978-0470747735 by Mi, Masrur, and Gao isrecommended. These individuals have immense academic, development and field experience inthe content area. The author had the opportunity recently to complete a graduate course in thisarea from Dr Masrur at University of Detroit Mercy. Dr Masrur is employed full time inelectrical/hybrid vehicle engineering industry.Pre-Course Work:The EGNR362 Vehicle Energy Systems course is a junior level course. The prerequisite coursecontent includes MATLAB, DC & AC Circuit Analysis, Calculus, Differential Equations, andLaplace. That content is used in the EGNR362 course from the start. A course in ElectricalMachinery is a definite asset, but not considered a prerequisite.MATLAB
