degree and certificate program - Los Angeles Harbor College

Methods of testing and troubleshooting these devices are
evaluated using standard lab test equipment, (curve tracers,
LCR bridge, x-y plotter and AC voltmeters). In addition, technical
report writing is emphasized on concepts learned through
experimentation.
30 PULSE CIRCUITS 4 UNITS CSU
Prerequisite: Completion of Electronics 022 and Electronics 054 with
grades of “C” or better.
This course is an introduction to the study in analysis and design
of circuits as they apply to radar, computer, telecommunications,
and microwave pulse circuitry. Typical circuits to be investigated
are multi-vibrators, blocking oscillators, limiters, clippers,
counters, and Schmitt triggers. Technical report writing
emphasizing design and data evaluation is an integral part of
this course.
40 ELECTRONICS INSTRUMENTS I 3 UNITS
This course covers circuitry involved in common test instruments
of the electronics laboratory such as oscilloscopes, VOMs, EVMs,
digital voltmeters, function generators, and frequency counters
are covered in this course.
41 MEASUREMENTS AND TESTING LABORATORY I 1
UNIT RPT 3
Corequisite: Concurrent enrollment in any Electronics or Computer
Technology laboratory course.
This course provides 3 hours of lab use for students that need
or desire additional laboratory time. Students can work ahead
of the class on their individual lab assignments or perform
additional experimentation on their individual projects.
Students that enroll will have access to the lab and all necessary
test equipment, as well as consultations with an instructor. This
class is given on a credit/no credit basis.
43 MEASUREMENTS AND TESTING LABORATORY II 1
UNIT RPT 3
This course is for students who want to independently
investigate, test and evaluate electronic projects that they
propose. Students present their project proposals to an
instructor for approval. Upon approval, students will have access
to the laboratory and test equipment to complete their project.
50 ADVANCE SOLID STATE CIRCUITS 4 UNITS
Prerequisite: Completion of Electronics 007 and Electronics 022 with
grades of “C” or better.
This course concerns the linear design and application (power
supply regulation, low frequency amplifiers, power amplifiers,
comparators and active filters) of transistor and integrated circuit
devices in the related fields of computers, communications, and
radar. This is a discussion/demonstration course with emphasis
on application methods of design. A series of projects from the
indicated applications are assigned as laboratory projects. In
addition, technical report writing, emphasizing design and data
evaluation is an integral part of the course.
54 COMPUTER LOGIC 4 UNITS CSU
Recommended: Completion of Electronics 004 and Electronics 020 with
grades of “C” or better.
This course covers the basic theory and application of logic
circuitry as applied in digital computers. Boolean algebra,
number systems, coding and decoding, truth tables, logic
maps, basic logic gates, combinational logic circuits, flip/flops,
arithmetic circuits, counters, registers, and concepts of storage
devices are thoroughly discussed. The use of a digital trainer is
used to reinforce these concepts and applications. In addition,
technical report writing is emphasized.
56 COMPUTER CIRCUITS 3 UNITS CSU
Prerequisite: Completion of Electronics 054 with a grade of “C” or better.
Corequisite: Concurrent enrollment in Electronics 057.
This course covers the operation and organization of digital
computers and micro-processors, including addressing, access,
1/0 (D-A and A-D) internal synchronization. Other storage
devices (solid state) and logic control circuits are covered. The
concepts of logic-design are used in the evaluation of these
circuits. Operational computers and microprocessors are
used to evaluate these circuits in a system. An introduction to
machine language programming is also included.
57 COMPUTER CIRCUITS LABORATORY 1 UNIT CSU
Corequisite: Concurrent enrollment in Electronics 056.
This course provides evaluation of digital computer circuits
through the use of computer and microprocessor trainers.
Stored program concepts are covered using machine language
programming to develop software diagnostics. The analysis of
fault locations in computer circuits is also covered. In addition
technical report writing, emphasizing data evaluation, is an
integral part of the course.
60 MICROWAVE FUNDAMENTALS 3 UNITS
Prerequisite: Completion of Electronics 016 with a grade of “C” or better.
This course introduces microwave fundamentals and
evaluations of antennas, transmission lines, wave-guides,
antenna radiation patterns, and Smith charting techniques are
studied in this course.
81 PROJECTS LABORATORY 1 UNIT RPT 3
Recommended: Students with no fabrication background would benefit
from completing Engineering Technology 081 prior to taking this course.
This course provides students with advanced laboratory
experiences in electronic fabrication principles. Topics
included are: fiber optic connections and patch panels, splicing
techniques, OTDR testing & measurements, termination
procedures & techniques for fiber, troubleshooting and
documentation for fiber optic systems. When applicable, surface
