First Semester

Purpose of the course 

This course aims at enabling students to understand theory of machines and its mechanisms.

Purpose of the course

This course will equip the learner with the knowledge of generation, transmission and distribution of electrical energy


The course, Electric Circuit Theory, is an introductory course that provides the foundation for studies in electrical engineering. The course is necessary for mechanical engineering students because after their University Studies, mechanical engineers interact with a lot of electrical equipment such as electrical motors, electrical generators and various measurement and instrumentation systems. 

Topics covered in this course include electric circuit elements (resistors, capacitors and inductors), the basic concepts of electrical current, voltage and power. Ohm's Law, the superposition theorem, Kirchhoff's Laws, Thevenin and Norton Theorems, among others. 

The course introduces students to direct current (dc) and alternating current (ac) circuits. The students will be able to compute currents, voltages, and power associated with the two types of circuits. Laboratory exercises are given then strengthen the theoretical knowledge.

Purpose of the Course

To equip engineering students with practical drawing skills on assembly of machine elements, the relationship and the presentation in a drawing paper.
