Course Description
TheFundamental Electronics courseis anexciting andempowering hands- on, technical experience presentedina comprehensibleway supplemented by lab experiments andclassroomdemonstrations. TheCD textfor thecoursepresents powerful concepts andprinciples with anentry-level student in mind. A newtopic is coveredeachweekthatis reinforcedwith a requiredlab.
Topics coveredinthecourseincludebasic principles ofelectricity,voltage, current, resistance,conductivity, Ohm’s Law, Kirchoff’s Laws, component values, ACandDC current, and howto combinea variety ofcomponents toconstruct useful circuits.
Course Goals
Students will emergefromthe coursewith useful andpowerful tools thatprepare themforfutureelectronics courses or will givethemthebackgroundneeded for success inother relatedtechnical disciplines.
ClassPreparation
Eachweekstudents are requiredto read(audio narrationis available onCD) the assignedmodule andcompletehomework, (assignedApplicationExercises at the endofeachmodule), prior to lecture. Lecture willinclude examples,experiments, and demonstrations toemphasize theweekly module. Homework questions willbe answeredat thebeginning oflecture. A self-assessment quizis due beforethe start ofeachlecture. Homeworkwillbe collectedat thestart oflecture.
