50 - BASIC ELECTRONICS (4 UNITS) CSU
This course introduces basic direct current circuit analysis
fundamentals to students entering the field of Computer
Technology. Lecture presents DC concepts through series
parallel circuits. Selected topics include, laboratory test
equipment care and application, laboratory procedures and
report preparation, component identification, interpretation
of equipment specifications, technical problem-solving
techniques. Lecture is complemented with a 3-hour
laboratory session whereby experiments are utilized to
reinforce lecture topics and concepts.
52 - FUNDAMENTAL COMPUTER CIRCUITS
AND LABORATORY (4 UNITS) CSU
Prerequisite: Completion of Engineering Technology 050 with a grade
of “C” or better.
This course presents the theory and application of
direct current (DC) circuit analysis for series, parallel
and complex circuits, as applied to computer circuits.
Ohms Law, Kirchoff’s and network theorem analysis
are emphasized in conjunction with resistive, capacitive,
inductive and magnetic properties associated with
combinational DC Circuit Analysis. A 3-hour per week
laboratory accompanies the 3-hour lecture per week,
in order to reinforce lecture and textbook theory and
applications. Students prepare technical reports on their
laboratory experiences. This course familiarizes students
with basic test measuring equipment used in the computer
industry.
53 - FUNDAMENTAL COMPUTER CIRCUITS
LABORATORY 1 (1 UNIT) CSU
Prerequisite: Completion of Engineering Technology 052 with a grade
of “C” or better.
This course analyzes the basic laws of electronics through
self-paced study laboratory procedures. The student
performs laboratory investigations of network theorems
using such test equipment as volt-ohm-amperes meters,
DVM and D.C power supplies and submits written lab
reports. Analytical investigations of R/C and R/L time
constant circuits are also included.
54 - FUNDAMENTAL COMPUTER CIRCUITS
LABORATORY II (4 UNITS) CSU
Prerequisite: Completion of Engineering Technology 052 with a grade
of “C” or better.
This course gives a detailed study of alternating current
theory and applications (through lecture, discussion, and
laboratory). The following topics are stressed: reactance,
impedance, filtering and amplification gains and losses,
admittance, resonance, and transformers. The emphasis is
on solution of alternating current circuit problems using
basic circuit theorems. In addition, student generated
technical reports are emphasized. This course prepares the
student for the study of solid state circuitry.
55 - FUNDAMENTAL COMPUTER CIRCUITS
LABORATORY II (1 UNIT) CSU
Prerequisite: Completion of Computer Technology 054 and Electronics
006 with grades of “C” or better.
This laboratory course provides additional self-paced
experimental study of alternating current theory in
Computer Tecnology-54. Experiments are performed
with such test equipment as signal generators, time-base
oscilloscopes, and the impedance bridge, EVM, and AC
RMS meters.
56 - COMPUTER LOGIC AND ARITHMETIC
(4 UNITS) CSU
Prerequisite: Completion of Computer Technology 050 or Computer
Technology 052 with a grade 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.
58 - INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER SYSTEMS
(3 UNITS) CSU
Prerequisite: Completion of Computer Technology 056 with a grade
of “C” or better.
Corequisite: Concurrent enrollment in Computer Technology 073.
This course covers the operation and organization of digital
computers and microprocessors, 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.
60 - COMPUTER MATHEMATICS I (5 UNITS)
This course in computer mathematics includes the
operation of the calculator, signed numbers, powers of ten
notation, operations with algebraic expressions, fractional
expressions, functions, quadratic solutions, engineering
& scientific notation, graphing, and application of
mathematics to technical applications.
