Hours / Credits:
Description & Objectives: |
3 Class hour, 3 Lab Hours, 4 Credits
· This course introduces to electrical safety, basic electrical theory, semiconductor devices, digital electronics, and applications. Topics address key fundamentals, including direct current circuits (DC), series and parallel resistive circuits, semiconductor diodes, logic gates, simplifying logic circuits, combinational logic circuits, sequential logic circuits, and digital computer basics. Hands-on laboratory experience will reinforce the students’ learning and provide opportunity to transfer theory learned in lecture to practical applications. · Develop discipline-specific knowledge and skills. · Acquire and use tools needed for communication, inquiry, and analysis. · Integrate knowledge and application within and across disciplines. |
