Warm welcome all to this module entitled NETWORK ANALYSIS AND SYNTHESIS. This module will provide to students the basic knowledge on time domain and frequency domain analysis of electric circuit. It covers synthesis of RL, RC, LC, RLC electric networks.
The main objective is to explain the analysis of electrical networks by using graph theory with the help of cut-set matrix, incident matrix and tie-set matrix.

Electrical machines is a subject where a student will deal with various types of electrical machines which are employed in industries, power stations, domestic and commercial appliances etc. After studying this subject, an electrical degree holder must be competent to repair and maintain these machines and give suggestions to improve their performance. Practical aspects of the subject will make the students capable of performing various tests on the machines.

Learning and Teaching Strategy
The course is delivered mainly through lectures backed up by tutorial as well as practical sessions. The lecture includes interactive elements whereby students in groups apply principles to simple problems to ensure their involvement and so gain understanding. Hand-outs are used so that students can concentrate on the material of the lecture, but with gaps where students either have to fill in or make separate notes.
Problem sheets are given out to students and after time, the problems are discussed in class. Some of the problems will be handed in and then marked by peers to give formative feedback to fellow students.
The assignment will require the students to undertake some investigation on their own and to develop ideas and apply them. They will also produce a report for each.
