This document provides a tentative schedule for an Electric Circuits I course offered in the fall 2014 semester. The 15-week course meets twice a week and covers topics including charge, current, voltage, circuit elements, Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's laws, network analysis techniques, capacitors, inductors, sinusoidal steady-state analysis, and three-phase circuits. The schedule lists the topics, assigned readings, and assignment due dates for each week. Tests are scheduled for weeks 6, 11, and 16 to assess student learning throughout the semester.
