EE122, Electrical Circuit Analysis I, introduces DC resistive circuit analysis with dependent and independent current and voltage sources.  Analysis methods include node voltage, mesh current, Thevenin and Norton equivalents, and superposition.  Other topics include maximum power transfer, ideal op-amp behavior, and introduction of energy-storage elements.  Familiarity with computer-aided design tools Matlab and either PSpice or MicroSim is assumed.  Some laboratory techniques are introduced with a guided design project.  Prerequisites:  EE 111-116 or permission from the instructor.  MA 123 must be taken before or concurrently with EE 122.  EE majors must complete this course with a grade of C or higher.  (3 lecture hours, 0 lab hours, 3 credit hours).
