OFFICE HOURS: 1541A Electronics Labby appointment.

TEXT: Introductory Circuit Analysis; Boylstad, 11th edition (available at bookstore)

Experiments inCircuit Analysis to Accompany Introductory Circuit Analysis; Boylstad, 11th edition (available at bookstore) OLDER VERSIONS are also ok.

COMPONENTS: Students are asked to purchase 3 sets of leads, needle nose pliers, and wire strippers. These are available through the bookstore (BASIC TOOL KIT), or from other local vendors.

CALCULATOR: a TI 84 or 86 or 89 or equivalent calculator is required for this class.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The first course in a series designed for an in-depth study of electronics. Performance goals will equip the learner with the ability to analyze series and parallel circuits, measure circuit values with electronic test instruments, construct AC and DC circuits and solve for unknown circuit variables. Basic concepts of energy, work, power, current and voltage are studied as well as Ohm’s and Kirchoff’s Laws. The course ends with an introduction to capacitance, transients and AC theory and circuit analysis. Computer models will be used throughout as well as hands on labs.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

The following will be performed by each student while observing hygienic and safe conditions and in a manner reflecting industry standards.

1.Calculate and measure using SI system of units and scientific notation.

2.Construct, measure, analyze, and mathematically solve linear and non-linear resistor networks.

3.Construct simple circuits from wiring and schematic diagrams.

4.Differentiate between conductors, semi-conductors, and insulators.

5.Identify component values from common coding systems used in industry.

6.Apply electrical laws to solve resistor networks (e.g. Ohm's and Kirchoff's laws) in DC and AC circuits.

7.Estimate loading effects and energy consumption in resistive networks and differentiate between energy, work, power, and force.

8.Use multimeters, power supplies, oscilloscopes and signal generators during lab assignments to test and measure AC and DC circuit parameters.

9.Use software tools such as Electronic Workbench to model and predict lab outcomes.

10.Calculate and measure RC time constants and charge/discharge rates of capacitors (i.e. transient analysis).

11.Calculate and measure AC variables of voltage, current, and frequency.

12.Model sine waves mathematically.

1. Practice safety and proper workplace conduct.
