Engineering Tutor from University of Engineering - Guitar, Electrical, Electronics

The class covered fundamental electrical circuit concepts, including Ohm's Law, series and parallel resistor combinations, and circuit problem-solving techniques. The student practiced calculating current, voltage, and resistance in various circuit configurations. Future sessions will explore capacitors, inductors, and advanced circuit analysis laws.

The Student and Tutor conducted an introductory session on basic electrical circuits and the fundamental concept of resistance. They practiced calculating equivalent resistance in both series and parallel configurations, including a combination circuit example. The future curriculum for the Student's electrical technology course, focusing on Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's laws, and AC circuits, was also discussed.

The Student and Tutor commenced a new focus on digital systems, moving away from programming. They reviewed digital system concepts, including number systems and detailed explanations of various logic gates (AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR, XNOR). The session involved the Student practicing deriving and simplifying Boolean equations from circuit diagrams, and the Tutor reviewed fundamental Boolean algebra laws. The Student will practice more circuit and equation reduction problems for homework, and the Tutor requested a past paper for tailored future sessions.

Student and Tutor reviewed various supervised machine learning models, including logistic regression, decision trees, and SVMs. The Tutor then introduced deep learning, covering the fundamentals of neural networks, different architectures like CNNs and LSTMs, and the evolution to Large Language Models (LLMs) and Agentic AI. They explored tools like Groq and Flowise for building and testing AI agents, and the Tutor committed to sharing reference materials for further study on deep learning and agents.

The Student and Tutor reviewed and practiced problems related to RC circuits, focusing on discharging calculations for capacitance, charge, and current over time. The Tutor then introduced the fundamental concepts of RL circuits in a DC context, highlighting the time constant and distinguishing them from AC applications. The next session is planned to cover AC RL, RC, and RLC circuits, including phasor diagrams.

Student and Tutor reviewed fundamental RC circuit concepts, including capacitor charging/discharging, time constants, and their application in AC-DC rectifier circuits. They solved several problems involving voltage, current, and time constant calculations for various RC circuits. The next session will cover additional RC circuit problem formats and then move on to RL and RLC circuits.
