Multidisciplinary method to apply systhem theory in electrical circuit analysis

The improvement of teaching-learning-assessment methods aided by computer is an important concern, in order to increase the didactical process, to attract and motivate the students. Paper deals with a multidisciplinary method used in electrical engineering and automatics field. For modeling continuous systems, two of important models from the system theory are briefly presented. The analysis of an electrical circuit is done, from the point of view of student training. The method consist in including the skills and knowledge from electrical circuit theory, numerical methods and system theory and is applicable for students from electrical engineering and electronics study programs. The multidisciplinary attribute of the method allows its using for several courses from the electrical engineering curricula.
