An introduction to basic concepts and terminology of electronics for the non-electronics major. Topics start with electricity and continue through everyday commercial and home applications.
A study of field-effect transistors and circuits, thyristors and circuits, frequency effects on amplifier circuits, and the fundamentals of the operational amplifier and applications circuits.
Study of electronic telecommunications systems including radio communications, amplitude modulation and sideband systems and application circuits, frequency and phase modulation systems and circuits.
Prerequisites: EET 101 and EET 103 Course Fee: $9.00
A hands-on course focusing on the construction of electronics equipment. The course will include the principles of circuit and chassis fabrication of packaging for electronic equipment, the techniques of layout, construction, finishing, assembly, wiring and harnessing, and the proper use of tools and hardware. The student will be introduced to several different types of shop tools and hand tools. Printed circuit board layout and design using computer aided design software will be included. A number of direct and photographic circuit board fabrication techniques will be presented. A project is used by each student to develop skills for each process.
A course designed for electronic majors covering digital system basics. Topics covered include: number systems and codes, logic gates, Boolean algebra, digital IC’s, multi-vibrators, combinatorial logic, registers and counters, memories, and microprocessor fundamentals.
This course is an introduction to the microcontroller using the BASIC STAMP and various PIC and other controller products to develop a small digital system. The course includes programming, interfacing, power, and packaging of a stand-alone digital device.
A planned and supervised work-learning experience in industry, business, government, or community service agencies related to University program of study
