Introduction:

The aim of this course is to teach simple analogue and digital electronics at a practical level. By the end of this course students will be able to combine circuit elements to create more complex circuits, and have an understanding of how it works.

Learning Outcomes:

Students who successfully complete the course will be able to:

•  understand the current voltage characteristics of semiconductor devices
• analyze dc circuits and relate ac models of semiconductor devices with their physical Operation
• design and analyze of electronic circuits
• evaluate frequency response to understand behavior of Electronics circuits
• functionally test and debug electronic circuits
• develop a digital logic and apply it to solve real life problems.
• apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
