EE 201 - Circuit Theory I

This course is the first course in EE curriculum offered in 2nd year 1st semester. This course aims to introduce the mathematical models for circuit components and then use these models in the circuit analysis. (This course is accompanied with a separate laboratory course (EE213) where the theory introduced in this course is put into practice.) In the first part of the course, the component classifications (such as memoryless, dynamic, active-passive, linear, non-linear, time-invariant, time-varying) and conservation laws in relation with circuit analysis (energy and charge conservation) are given. The (i,v) characteristic for 1-port components are introduced. Then, classical circuit analysis methods are examined on linear resistive circuits. Network theorems (Thevenin-Norton equivalents and Tellegen’s Theorem) are given. Then, the effect of non-linear components are introduced via a brief study of small signal analysis and circuits with piecewise linear components (ideal diodes) are studied. Resistive 2-port descriptions are studied. Op-amp models and their usage in the analysis is studied. After the introduction of dynamic components, the course concludes with the 1st and 2nd order circuits. The zero-state/zero-input decompositions are given. The constant coefficient differential equations (CCDE) and their solutions (homogenous and particular solutions) are underlined and put in relation with circuit analysis. The impulse, step-response and other response are studied. The dynamic circuits with switches (linear time-varying circuits) and ideal diodes (dynamic circuits with non-linear components) are studied. The topics of this course and the following course (EE202) builds a foundation to several sub-fields of electrical and electronics engineering. Several topics introduced in these courses are studied in much more depth in some specialized courses. Course Content Lumped circuits: Kirchoff`s laws, basic lumped elements, circuit graphs, circuit equations, linear and nonlinear resistive circuits, first and second order dynamic circuits. Introduction to operational amplifier circuits.

EE 202 - Circuit Theory II

This is the 2nd and final course in the chain of Circuit Theory courses. The course is accompanied with a separate laboratory course (EE214). The course starts with the discussion of coupled inductors. The dot-convention, power/energy relations are introduced and the passivity condition is given. In the next part of the course, the time-domain description of N’th order circuits is studied. The main goal is the introduction of the state equation formalism for this purpose. (Other analysis methods such as node/mesh and modified node analysis methods are also given.) The solution of N’th order constant coefficient differential equations is studied and zero-input and zero-state solutions are developed. Particular solutions for the exponential inputs are studied. The Laplace transformation based solution are studied. The next topic is the AC analysis. After the introduction of phasors, the phasor domain analysis of LTI dynamic circuits is given. The average power, reactive power and complex power definitions are given. Single-phase power factor compensation problems are studied. AC analysis topic is continued with the analysis of balanced 3-phase systems. 3-phase power calculations are emphasized. In the last part of the course, Laplace domain (s-domain) circuit analysis is studied. The network functions are introduced. The zero-state responses are studied. The frequency response for 1st and 2nd order circuits are studied. The 2nd order resonance circuit is examined. The approximate magnitude and phase response plots (Bode plots) are studied. This course builds a foundation to many courses in system theory, circuit design and power systems.

Felsefeye Giriş

Bu ders, üniversitelerinin zorunlu felsefe derslerinden ilkini almak isteyen (ya da almak zorunda bırakılan) öğrenciler için bir felsefeye giriş dersidir. Dersin amacı sizi felsefi sorunlarla tanıştırmak, tarihin en büyük filozoflarından bazılarının bu sorulara nasıl yaklaştığından ve bu sorular hakkında söyleyecek ne sözleri olduğundan haberdar etmek, kendi felsefi kaygılarınızı ifade etmeniz, ve en önemlisi, bu kaygıları nasıl ele alacağınız konusunda size yardımcı olmaktır. Bu dönem inceleyeceğimiz felsefe alanları arasında etik, siyaset felsefesi, metafizik ve bilgi felsefesi bulunmaktadır. Bu ders TÜBA Açıkders Malzemeleri Projesi kapsamında hazırlanmıştır ve TÜBA Ulusal Açıkders Malzemeleri Portalinde (http://www.acikders.org.tr) de yayınlanmaktadır.

Batı Felsefesi Klasikleri

Bu ders Platon, Aristoteles, Descartes, Hume, Kant, gibi birtakım önemli isimlerin çalışılmasıyla sizin Batı felsefe geleneğine aşina olmanızı sağlayacaktır. Felsefenin başından beri önemli olan sorularını göreceksiniz: aklın veya ruhun tabiatı, Tanrının varlığı, bilginin temelleri, etik ve iyi hayat gibi konulara dair olan sorular. Sözü edilen filozofların argümanlarını değerlendirirken felsefi ve analitik becerilerinizi geliştireceksiniz. Ayrıca, zaman içinde entelektüel alandaki değişimleri ve bilimsel, dini ve siyasi meselelerin felsefi fikirlerin gelişimi üzerine olan etkisini gözlemleme imkânınız olacak. 1-8. ve 16-25. Dersler için ders notları mevcuttur. Descartes’ın Meditasyonlar’ı üzerine olan kısım yani 9.-15. Dersler, için benim ayrıca hazırlamış olduğum Descartes’ın Meditasyonlar’ına bir Çalışma Rehberi’ni, Çalışma Malzemeleri kısmında bulabilirsiniz.
