Most of the major components of a computer will be investigated. Use of computer program to draw circuits and designs. 3 hours laboratory. The interdependence of hardware and software on computer design will be stressed. Analysis and design of analog electronic circuits using diodes, BJTs, and FETs.
Emphasis is placed on amplifier circuits and their frequency dependence.
Some of the experiments are short projects to introduce the student to the application of design principles. 3 hours laboratory. Laboratory-oriented course designed to acquaint students with the operation and design of electronic instrumentation. Analysis of electronic instruments used in various applications and the design of special-purpose instrumentation. Emphasis on use of operational amplifiers in design situations.
