Description: Invented in 1947 the transistor is one of the most important inventions of the 20th Century. Integrated circuits started appearing in 1959. Thereafter, electronic circuits are continuing to become smaller, cheaper, and more capable. These are responsible for the powerful computers and many other equipment that we use today.

The pace of development is unparalleled by any other technology invented by mankind. This is exciting and inspiring on one hand, but can also be intimidating and overwhelming on the other hand for someone who wants to analyze, understand and design electronic circuits and devices.

The goal of this course is to introduce you to the basic components digital circuits and systems. You would also examine the underlying principles that make up the framework for creating and implementing electronic circuits for almost any conceivable task.

The main emphasis is on developing an engineering point of view that is a mix of practical experience, intuition, and the capability to apply the laws and principles that govern the behavior of electronic elements and circuits. Both analog and digital circuits will be covered.

In the laboratory you will learn how to implement electronic circuits and how to measure their performance. Several mini-projects will be completed in the first part of the course. A final project will be announced later.

Course Goals:

Learn how to describe, analyze and design analog and digital electrical circuits.
Develop engineering experience and problem solving and debugging skills.
Learn how to use test instruments, computer-based design and simulation tools, and how to collect and interpret experimental data.
Develop independent thinking and design skills.
Apply to material learnt to the design and implementation of final project.
