A Pocket Guide to Circuit Analysis

• 

  Thevenin Equivalent Circuits is the module most-completed

Inspiration

As Electrical Engineering Second-Years, we wanted to share the various tips and tricks we learned in first year regarding the different types of circuit problems. We wanted to build a platform where we could share this information, and make circuits more straightforward/easy to understand for future years.

What it does

It breaks down ECE110 (and similar introductory circuit courses) into smaller, digestible modules. Each module contains example problems, and practice problems in which students can submit and check their answers.

How we built it

We mainly used HTML and CSS for the design/front-end of the website, integrating Javascript for certain dynamic elements.

Challenges we ran into

Originally, we wanted to have a login page so only verified students could access the material - and we planned to implement this using Auth0; unfortunately, even after seeking mentor help, we weren't able to integrate it with our site. Additionally, it was our first time using HTML and CSS for web dev, and it was a challenge to learn as we went.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of the fact that our website has both static and dynamic elements, especially since this is the first time all of us used HTML/CSS.

What we learned

We learned a ton about how to set up the structure for our website, then alter its appearance using CSS. Creating the sliding sidebars, progress bars, and dropdown menus were also very cool challenges that taught us a lot.

What's next for A Pocket Guide to Circuit Analysis

We plan to continue working on the site as a team, and make it a more prolonged project. We hope to make it more user-friendly, implement a login page, as well as able to take in advice/tips from other upper-years, etc.
