This document outlines the objectives and outcomes of a course on electric circuits. The course aims to teach students about DC and AC circuit analysis, network theorems, resonance circuits, and three-phase circuits. It is divided into five units covering topics such as Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's laws, AC circuits, network theorems, transient response, and three-phase systems. The overall goal is for students to learn how to analyze different types of circuits and apply various methods of circuit analysis.
