ELET 2103 and ELET 1143 Fabrication techniques and device models pertinent to monolithic integrated circuits with equal emphasis on bipolar and MOS integrated circuits. Thick-film fabrication techniques are used in hybrid circuit design and fabrication. The principles of generation and distribution of three-phase power is studied. Emphasis is placed on the study of the traditional 4wire, 3phase and 3wire, 3phase systems. Load flow and short circuit calculations are included.
Emphasis is placed on the operation of existing systems.
The laboratory is used to reinforce the theory taught in the classroom. Field trips to local power company facilities are mandatory. In addition to the hardware components at both the CPU and system levels, the software components at the instruction set level, operating system level, and applications level will be investigated. The course will place an emphasis on an in-depth study of current microcomputer operating systems. The course will include an introduction to networking technologies as well.
