Students learn how to test, troubleshoot, analyze, and design common application circuits including amplifiers, power supplies, voltage regulators, and oscillators and their applications. Students learn to test the devices studied, including diodes, SCRs, bipolar and field-effect transistors, and to measure experimentally their characteristic curves. The course covers troubleshooting, analysis, and design of solid state application circuits, including rectifiers, clippers, clampers, switching circuits, and amplifiers. Instruction includes three hours lecture and three hours laboratory per week. This course introduces students to the fundamental concepts of digital electronics, including binary numbers, truth tables, and Boolean algebra.
Instruction includes three hours lecture and three hours laboratory per week.
This course applies the student's previous learning to the problems of industrial monitoring and control. Students learn about the basic functional building blocks, such as sensors, actuators, controllers, and signal processors, and devices such as DC, AC, and stepper motors. Students learn how to monitor and control industrial processes using a computer. Instruction includes three hours lecture and three hours laboratory per week. Students learn how to program, analyze, troubleshoot, interface, and design electronic systems based on the microprocessor, including industrial, consumer, and microcomputer systems.
