Catalog Description:

This course is focused on introducing students in the area of analog and digital electronics through experimental exercises. In the first part of the course students learn how to conduct a variety of measurements including voltage, current, impedance, frequency, and waveform measurements. In the second part they learn how to design and measure basic circuit elements (resistors, inductors, capacitors, diodes, and transistors) and their applications (e.g. waveform generators, amplifiers, digital logic).

Learning Outcomes:

1. competently select, use, and automate electronic measurement instruments. [1,6]
2. design, wire, and troubleshoot electronic circuits. [1,6]
3. simulate electronic circuits. [1,6]
4. keep a laboratory notebook and prepare a formal laboratory report. [3]
5. function on an interdisciplinary team that draws on diverse backgrounds. [5]
6. design, build, and test resistor-inductor-capacitor, operational amplifier, etc. circuits to meet specifications. [1,6]
7. demonstrate knowledge of laboratory safety precautions. [2]

Assessment Method:

Outcomes will be assessed through reports, prelabs, lab practicals, project demonstration and a formal report
