 This lecture/lab course is an introduction to electricity and solid-state electronics concepts including electrical energy and power, magnetism, direct and alternating current, semiconductors, power supplies, amplifiers, oscillators, and electronic communication. Through lecture and lab experiences, students will:
- Develop basic skills in understanding, using, and applying fundamental electricity and electronics concepts.
- Recognize useful applications of electronic components in common products.
- Acquire skills in creating and reading schematic drawings and in designing and assembling circuit boards to solve specific problems.
- Safely and efficiently use tools, materials, processes, and systems to solve electronic problems.
- Identify and practice various strategies for teaching electronic concepts.
Students have experiences with analog electronics fundamentals through lecture and laboratory experiences. Some of the main topics/activities include:
- Basic electronic components (e.g., resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, transistors, integrated circuits),
- Schematic reading and development,
- Building and testing analog circuits,
- Analog circuit design,
- Printed circuit board design and production,
- Direct and alternating current applications,
- Series, parallel, and combination circuits,
- Resistive, capacitive, inductive, RL, RC, and RCL circuits,
- Applications of electronics in communications,
