Teaching-Learning Methodology
Topics are taught using interactive lectures, circuit simulations (Falstad / Tinkercad), and short video demonstrations. Every concept is anchored to a real product — phone charger, Arduino board, amplifier, logic gate in CPU. Tutorial sessions focus on simple circuit calculations. No deep derivations — understanding and application are the goal.
