Todays mostly digital world also requires a basic knowledge of circuits that do not
require computer processing. Analog circuits are simpler, lower cost, smaller and
require less power and still perform many of the functions of digital circuits. In this
course students will learn about the basic principles of electricity, components such as
resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors, audio amplifiers, power supplies and timers
and circuits that interface to digital devices. The course includes circuits design and
fabrication through lectures and hands on labs. Students will also learn the operation of
electronic test equipment such as the digital multimeter, oscilloscope and function
generator.
