I have an MSc and PhD degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Manchester, and I graduated with a distinction in control systems engineering. I have expert proficiency in the use of MATLAB, Simulink, Python, and C/C++ programming.

Furthermore, I also have over 15 years of tutoring experience in Electrical/Electronic Engineering *including but not limited to*
1./ mathematics
2./ signals & systems
3./ communication systems
4./ robotics, control systems & DSP
5./ MATLAB, Simulink, Python, and C/C++ programming
6./ electronics (e.g. BJTs, MOSFETS, Rectifiers, Buck-Boost Converters etc.)

My teaching approach is as follows:
(a) Understanding the basics enhances learning. Use of analogies and aids has always been my strong point when I teach and explain concepts to students.

(b) I take a bottom-top approach to tutoring, that is, I ensure the basics are firmly grounded while gradually introducing complex concepts and using copious amount of examples while at it.

(c) I employ a student-centered teaching and learning practices by engaging my students in active learning techniques such as concept maps and faded worked examples.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course – electric circuit theory – is primarily designed for students in electrical and computer engineering discipline. The course is designed to provide students with fundamental knowledge on circuit analysis. Topics to be covered include: Introduction to devices and components. *Network Theorems* – Kirchhoff laws, ladder networks, nodal and mesh analysis, Thevenin’s Theorem, Norton’s Theorem, star-delta transformation. *Linear Circuits* – continuous-time and discrete-time signals, energy storage elements, DC circuit analysis techniques, transient response of first and second-order systems, operational amplifiers, AC circuit analysis techniques, sinusoidal steady-state response, phasor-domain analysis of AC circuits. Laplace transforms and applications to analysis of circuits. *Electromechanical Circuits* – resonance, Q-factor, oscillators. Active & Passive Filters – design, frequency response analysis of low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass filters, Sallen-Key topology filter. *Nonlinear Circuits* – circuit applications involving non-linear resistors, diodes, transistors, e.g. peak detectors.

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES:
1) Apply fundamental theorems and analysis techniques to electrical networks.
2) Understand Laplace transforms and its use to electric circuits.
3) Analyze transient and steady-state responses of electrical circuits.
4) Design simple passive and active low-pass, high-pass & band-pass filters
5) Analyze and create (nonlinear) circuit applications
6) Build and prototype simple electronic devices such as an ultrasound velocity sensor board.
7) Computer-aided circuit analysis and simulation using MATLAB and LTspice.
