Circuit Simulation
Description
The course Circuit Simulation is designed to study visual simulation of analog electrical circuits using the Engee platform. Simulation helps to study and develop electrical circuits. For example, simulation is used to study the contribution of various circuit components to the overall response of the system.
Each section contains a theoretical part and self-study tasks.
Knowledge requirements: completion of the courses Welcome to Engee and Visual Simulation.
Total course time: ~4 hours.
