Course Description

The goal of this course is for you (an absolute beginner) to learn all the fundamentals of Electrical Engineering in the most simple, effective and fast way. Instead of giving you every information at the beginning and bore you with all the details, I will add information as you start to question and start to need it. This is proven to be the best way to learn languages and I believe it's the best way to learn anything. So please ask questions and learned actively!

This course starts with explaining what all the sub-fields in Electrical Engineering (e.g. Signal Processing, Control System, Power System, Telecommunication, Photonics, Microelectronics) are and what Electrical Engineers do. Then you will learn the characteristics of the most basic and common components used in Electrical Engineering (i.e. resistors, capacitors, inductors, power supplies, voltmeters and ammeters). Before you can understand Ohm’s Law and DC Circuit Analysis (e.g. Kirchoff’s Voltage Law and Kirchoff’s Current Law), I will demonstrate what electrical voltage, current, charge and power means with examples.

The second section of the course covers active circuit elements (i.e. operational amplifiers, diodes and transistors). You will learn their characteristics and typical applications. Then we will revisit the passive components and see how they behave in AC circuits. In this part, you will learn why complex numbers exist in AC circuits, how to perform complex number algorithms, and what phase shift is. The last part of this section focuses on power generation, losses and distribution. Here we will introduce fuses and transformers.

Lastly, we will look at practical circuits and follow a few guidelines to help you start building your own circuits.

Instructor Details

Jung-Chang Liou

With many years working in the fields of Electrical Engineering as a research assistant, design engineer and a teacher, I have learned to deliver both the theoretical and practical knowledge to my students in the most direct and simple way.

In my course, You will find that all the lectures follow through one another and I will always include the reason for learning a particular theory.

My philosophy of teaching is to encourage students to start and finish a course by giving them just enough information at the beginning. Then I will provide more details as students begin to think, to try, to encounter problems and to question. This type of active learning has proven to be most effective through my years of teaching which is why I use it here. So learn actively and ask questions!

My goal is for students to learn Electrical Engineering in the most straightforward, simple and efficient way.

Sitting through 15 minutes of intro and preview with that irritating music drowning out your voice was just that - irritating! Thankfully you have re-uploaded the entire course minus music, if you hadn't I would have been seeking a refund, as a reasonably experienced videographer I can only advise that background music on a video is not a good idea, especially in a teaching environment, lets see how the rest of the course progresses, I will update this review at the end.

I think its just my personal problem with this curse: 1 - I use this curse to grow my english vocuabluary in electrical engineering. 2 - I have not basic knowling about electrican processes, but need start from something. Step by step.

The material is good, but the music makes it hard for someone like me who has a hearing problem focus on the voice. A option to remove the music would be very helpful.

By Laura McCarter on 9/20/2018

It's really difficult to hear the instructor. The background music is annoying and much louder than the instructors voice. I found the lectures without music so I'll add one star.

By Timothy P Hannagan on 9/10/2018

This course is good for what it is a intro . The Repetitive construct of this course and the background sound effects cost this course 1.5 stars in my opinion .

By Hao Liu on 7/20/2018

Explanations are a little brief, but this is only the beginning of the course. I'll know more after listening to more content.

the lecturer has an excellent knowledge , however, the course needs to be better , the intended simplicity was not met . hope the lecture will update this course with better material that includes robust basics.

By Eva King on 5/5/2017

I think requirements to the course should state that basic knowledge of trigonometry is required. I think AC circuts could do with more detailed explanation..

By Virak Kong on 10/7/2016

I like your course. it brushes up basic electrical engineering. I used to study in the university. My professor does not teach me electrical engineering courses in easy way.

By Richard L Burnett on 6/8/2016

Instructor tries to quickly go through a lot of complicated material for those persons with little to no knowledge of electrical engineering.
