When you get up in the morning, flip a switch, and see a light turn on, you might want to thank one of the people responsible: electrical engineers. The main function of an engineer is solving problems. Electrical engineers solve problems by using electricity and solve problems related to using electricity. They develop devices to generate and transmit electricity and design products that use electricity. In this course, you will learn the basics of circuit design and the laws and theorems involved in analyzing circuits. You will also learn how mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy in generators and power plants. Finally, you will see that the reverse can be true: Electrical energy can be converted to mechanical energy through electric motors.
