Innovative Techniques to Teach Introductory Circuit AnalysisIntroductionFirst year engineering and technology students often struggle with the most fundamentalconcepts of circuit analysis. Textbooks often have numerous examples of “what” the variouscircuit examples look like but sometimes fall a bit short of “how” to go about solving them andhow to retain that methodology to memory. In addition, some circuit analysis principles are soobvious to the experienced engineer - author that they are overlooked or skimmed over intextbooks. These instructors have found that a number of simple concepts, when presented inrelaxed classroom or individual problem solving sessions, often “turn the lights on” for thebeginning circuits
