Circuits and Electronics 1

Heads up! This course may be archived and/or unavailable.

Want to learn about circuits and electronics, but unsure where to begin? Wondering how to make computers run faster or your mobile phone battery last longer? This free circuit course taught by edX CEO and MIT Professor Anant Agarwal and colleagues is for you.

This is the first of three online Circuits & Electronics courses offered by Professor Anant Agarwal and colleagues at MIT, and is taken by all MIT Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) majors.

Topics covered include: resistive elements and networks; circuit analysis methods including KVL, KCL and the node method; independent and dependent sources; linearity, superposition, Thevenin & Norton methods; digital abstraction, combinational gates; and MOSFET switches and small signal analysis. Design and lab exercises are also significant components of the course.

Weekly coursework includes interactive video sequences, readings from the textbook, homework, online laboratories, and optional tutorials. The course will also have a final exam.

This is a self-paced course, so there are no weekly deadlines. However, all assignments are due by June 15, 2019, when the course will close.

Student Testimonials

“Brilliant course! It's definitely the best introduction to electronics in Universe! Interesting material, clean explanations, well prepared quizzes, challenging homeworks and fun labs.” - Ilya

“6.002x will be a classic in the field of online learning. It combines Prof. Agarwal's enthusiasm for electronics and education. The online circuit design program works very well. The material is difficult. I took the knowledge from the class and built an electronic cat feeder.” - Stan.

very good

This is a very good lesson with a good balance between concepts, engineering point of view and practical applications.

The course was very well organised at very good platform, it was a pleasure to follow.

best of very good luck for Edx team and students.

well as

Questions, labs and problems are very challenging and require careful consideration as well as profound knowledges.

It was hard work, and very challenging, but because of the care and skill of the instructors, as well as the encouragement of my fellow students on the forum, I was always able to overcome my difficulties and ultimately emerged feeling triumphant.

differential equations

Mathematics part only contains how to solve Linear differential equations and they will also teach you to solve differential equations in intuitive way so don't worry and enjoy the course The 6.002x: Circuits and Electronics is thoroughly prepared and brilliantly delivered.

But the course is not for anyone; there's a lot of math(differential equations), and it takes a lot of work to pass it.
