Course description: ENSC 320 is a second course on electric circuits. It is intended both to enhance the knowledge of students with regard to electric circuits and to develop skills in analysis. Although the focus is electric circuits, the theory and skills learned are useful in other areas as well. For example, the ability to analyze electric circuits gives one the ability to analyze systems incorporating many other phenomena, such as mechanical, thermal and acoustic, where other physical quantities play similar roles to those of current and voltage.

Prerequisites: ENSC 220.
