Overview
This course looks at some more advanced topics in circuit theory such as the use of the Laplace Transform, and passive filter design. The course also continues the study of electromagnetics, and in particular electromechanical energy conversion, looking at simple motors and generators. At the end of the course students will be able to: use Laplace and Inverse Laplace transforms to determine transients in circuits with switches; explain conceptually what resonance and bandwidth mean in the context of RLC networks; list and draw the frequency specifications of the four basic types of filter; design a passive filter based on a Butterworth or Chebyshev response given a desired specification; draw a Bode Plot of a network function; analyse magnetic circuits.

Courses and course hours of instruction are subject to change.
Eligibility for courses may be subject to a placement exam and/or pre-requisites.
Credits earned vary according to the policies of the students' home institutions. According to ISA policy and possible visa requirements, students must maintain full-time enrollment status, as determined by their home institutions, for the duration of the program.
ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) credits are converted to semester credits/quarter units differently among U.S. universities. Students should confirm the conversion scale used at their home university when determining credit transfer.
Availability of courses is based on enrollment numbers. All students should seek pre-approval for alternate courses in the event of last minute class cancellations
