Introduction to Electronic Components and Circuits (ECI101)
Vietnamese title: Nhập môn các linh kiện và mạch điện tử
Credits: 3

Description:
This course has been designed to help students understand how electronic circuits work. It will provide them with the basic underpinning knowledge necessary to appreciate the operation of a wide range of electronic circuits, including amplifiers, logic circuits, power supplies and oscillators.
The main focus of this course is not only to develop the student ability to analyze and design basic analog electronic circuits with passive components and/or the active elements like diode and transistors. But also, some experiments are provided to help students to have a thorough grasp of the basic electronic circuit problems. During the course, Multisim, the supporting software for circuit analysis is also illustrated appropriately.

Learning outcomes:
Explain the theoretical principles essential for understanding the operation of electronic circuits
Understand passive and active electronic components and their applications
Analyze electrical circuits and calculate the main parameters
Explain the technological principles of semiconductor manufacturing
Develop, design and create simple analogue and digital electronic circuits
Measure the characteristics of electronic circuits and present experimental results
Choose an engineering approach to solving problems, starting from the acquired knowledge essential for the design of electronic circuits
Demonstrate professional ethics, social responsibility, and environmental impacts into electronic component selection, design, and use throughout the entire product life cycle
