>>13403519Im not from the US so your milage may vary. But the way EE currently is it's very different from what a non-EE student would think.
We only have 3 circuits and what's not in them may be found in electronics or whatever.
Circuits 1: Calculate any circuit that's constant in time(kirchoff, V,A-divider, DY, Norton-Thevenin), further more 1 and 3 phase systems (AC), all of this at least requiring linear algebra, the teacher taught us how to solve matrices and work with complex numbers(any kind of -ance) as essentially we have that math class in the same semester.
Matrices->circuits with multiple generators
Vectors->calculating phases and directions of I,V in (AC)
Complex Numbers->anything that has capacitance or inductance in it
Circuits 2: Two-port networks, Pi-tau etc, Parameter until you are fucking full (Z,Y,H,A,B,...), Bode plot, (we didnt learn Nyquist, but its similar)
Circuits 3: Time-varying systems (when you turn on something, the increase of amperage isn't instantenous), so this needs a small amout of ODE knowledge but not for long, becuase the magic of Laplace-tr., all kinds of laplace problems, turning on, off, already has a charge, switching, giving it a sine wave, a ridiculously small amount of Fourier for adding multiple AC sources together.
I realize that this institute is kind of low, so you may learn all of this in one/two semesters but it doesn't really matter as when you specialize you'll have to learn/know whatever you need anyways...
