ELECTRONICS I

Catalog description

Introduction to the characteristics and applications of semiconductor devices and circuits. Emphasis is focused on analysis, selection, biasing, and applications of diodes, transistors and other devices. Students will design, construct, analyze, validate, and troubleshoot analog circuits using appropriate techniques and test equipment. The course is established through lectures, problem solving, simulations, and laboratory experiments to develop higher thinking processes such as scientific and quantitative reasoning, responsible use of technology, and critical thinking. The course meets four hours per week in a classroom lab format. One semester, 1.5 hours of classroom and 1.5 hours of laboratory per week.
