Mastering Electric Networks to ELE 302 for Second Year Students

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a student's concerns regarding the difficulty of the ELE 302 Electric Networks course, which covers advanced topics such as three-phase circuits, frequency response, Laplace transforms, Fourier series, filter circuits, and two-port networks. The course includes 5 hours of lectures and 3 hours of lab work, with a prerequisite of completing all first-year courses. The student acknowledges the importance of differential equations, which they will be taking concurrently with the course, recognizing that prior knowledge would enhance their understanding. Overall, the course is characterized as a standard circuits course, with an emphasis on both theoretical concepts and practical applications through computer-aided circuit analysis.

This is my 1st semester in 2nd year course, sounds to hard and I do worry.
Did anyone study something like this description.

ELE 302 Electric Networks Three phase circuits- 3-phase voltages, Y and delta-connections, balanced three-phase systems, power calculations, two-wattmeter power measurement; frequency response- Bode plots, resonant circuits, frequency response of OPAMP circuits; Laplace transform applications- initial and final value theorems, solution of differential equations, transfer function and impedance, convolution theorem; Fourier series- exponential form, Fourier spectrum, circuits and Fourier series; filter circuits- second- and high-order filters, pole-zero plots and the s-plane, distortion in filter circuits; two port networks- equations of two-port networks, hybrid and transmission parameters, interconnection of two-port networks; computer aided circuit analyses of all the above topics.
Lect: 5 hrs./Lab: 3 hrs.
Prerequisite: All required first year courses.

It looks like a pretty standard circuits course. Have you had diff eq. yet? I should have, if you're taking circuits.
 
leright, thank you very much. diff.eq is a corequisite and I will take it the same time with this course. I know it would be much better if I took it already. Thanks
 
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
