Course Description and Prerequisites
EE 221 is a required undergraduate course that continues the study of electric circuit analysis begun in EE 211. The course covers transfer functions and frequency response (filters, resonant circuits), AC power analysis for single-phase and three-phase systems, mutual inductance and transformers, two-port network parameters, and the use of SPICE and MATLAB for circuit simulation. Prerequisites: EE 211 and MA 214 (concurrent). Learning Outcomes
Upon completion, students should demonstrate the ability to:

- Analyze circuits containing mutual inductance and ideal transformers.
- Derive transfer functions from circuits with independent/dependent sources, passive elements, op-amps, and transformers.
- Derive two-port parameters from resistive and impedance circuits.
- Use SPICE to compute circuit voltages, currents, and transfer functions.
- Describe solutions with functional block diagrams (top-down design).
- Work as a team to formulate and solve an engineering problem.
- Use MATLAB and SPICE for design optimization and performance verification.
