EG1108 - Electrical Engineering

Type: Core Module

Difficulty: Normal

Workload: Light
Lecturer(s): Prof Ben M. Chen

Assessment: Labs and Finals

This module was split up into 2 parts (1-Basic Concepts and 2-Applications) The module consisted of a lecture and a tutorial a week, and the tutorial doesn't start until week 5. It may seem like an easy module at first, however do not slack off or underestimate the module, for the later portion of part 1 can be a little hard to grasp. Part 2 on the other hand was easy. Just use formulas and you can score.

There are 2 lab sessions. Labs are individual work but they are generally quite easy to perform when you read the lab sheets before the sessions. In fact, you may also pre-fill the answers to the questions and draw in the table to avoid overshooting the time limit given. If you do so, you'll just have to stay back and finish it up, which may come at an expense to the quality of your answers. Labs are the best time to score.

• You'll need to purchase a blue "Science Practical Book" from NUS co-op to be used for both lab sessions. Ensure you have it or they'll make you walk a long distance to purchase one.

The finals did not go as bad as planned, probably it's because my year's paper was really really easy. However, some questions may be very conceptual (i.e. if you know your concepts, the answers are very straightforward, if not you'll be sent on a wild goose chase). There are only a few chapters in this module, so studying it is very easy. Practice a lot, to find out which topics you need to revise.

* A Hint: Be familiar with sine and cosine graphs, and the reasons why you can shift them by PI and they become the other graph.
