BACKGROUND
The pervasive presence of electronic devices and instrumentation in all aspects of engineering design and analysis is one of the manifestations of the electronic revolution that characterized the second half of the 20th century. Every aspect of engineering practice, and even of everyday life, has been affected in same way of another by electrical and electronic devices and instruments. Computers are perhaps the most obvious manifestations of this presence. However, many other areas of electrical engineering are also important for the practicing engineer, from mechanical and industrial engineering to chemical, materials engineering and civil engineering.

The integration of electronics and computer technologies in all engineering academic disciplines and the emergence of digital electronics and microcomputers as a central element of many engineering products and processes have become a common theme across the world. In this context, this course acts as an introductory course in electrical circuits analysis within the Industrial Engineering and Management curriculum.

SPECIFIC AIMS
To level the student's background in the basics of "Electricity and Electromagnetism".

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE
A previous knowledge on electromagnetism and calculus from the secondary school , is required.

PERCENTUAL DISTRIBUTION
Estimated percentual distribution for the scientific and technological contents:
- Scientific component: 90 %.
- Technological component: 10 %.

LEARNING OUTCOMES
It is expected that, at the end of these 4 weeks (8h of classes), the students will be able to analyse basic electrical circuits (DC analysis), achieving the required level for the 2nd semester unit on Electricity and Electronics.
