ELECTRONICS
Enrollment in and successful completion of Computer
Technology 60 and 61, or Engineering Technology 49
and 50 and Electronics 16 could increase performance in
Electronics classes.
4 - FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTRONICS I
(4 UNITS) CSU
This course presents the theory and application of direct
current (DC) circuit analysis for series, parallel and
complex 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.
5 - FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTRONICS I
LABORATORY (1 UNIT) CSU
Prerequisite: Completion of Electronics 004 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.
6 - FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTRONIC II
(4 UNITS) CSU
Prerequisite: Completion of Electronics 004 and Electronics 016 with
grades 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.
7 - FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTRONICS II
LABORATORY (1 UNIT) CSU
Prerequisite: Completion of Electronics 006 with a grade of “C” or
better.
This laboratory course provides additional self-paced
experimental study of alternating current theory in
Electronics 6. Experiments ate performed with such test
equipment as signal generators, time-base oscilloscopes,
impedance bridge, EVM, and AC RMS meters.
10 - MATHEMATICS OF ELECTRONICS I
(3 UNITS) CSU
This course is an introduction to mathematics as applied
to basic electronics. Topics include whole numbers,
fractions, ratios and percents, decimals, word problems
and introduction to the scientific or engineering calculator.
Operations involving addition, subtraction, multiplication,
division, rounding and estimation are included.
16 - SELECTED ELEMENTS OF ELECTRONICS
MATHEMATICS (5 UNITS) CSU
Prerequisite: Completion of Engineering Technology 049 with a grade
of “C” or better.
This course in electronic mathematics covers a review
of algebraic concepts, powers of ten and scientific
notation, metric system, algebraic expressions, algebraic
equations, factoring equations containing fractions,
function notations, graphing, special products and factors,
exponents and radicals, quadratic equations, logarithmic
equations, exponential equations, angles, complex
numbers, triangles, trigonometric functions, solution of
right triangles, trigonometric identities, phasors, complex
operator, phasor algebra and applications of math to
electronics.
17 - CALCULUS FOR ELECTRONICS (5 UNITS)
CSU
Prerequisite: Completion of Electronics 006 and Electronics 016 with
grades of “C” or better.
This is an applied course using selected topics from
analytic geometry and calculus with emphasis on
electronic applications. Functional and average rate
notations are developed to introduce basic derivatives and
integrals. Applications of differentiation and integration
of algebraic, trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential
functions are stressed.
20 - ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS I (4 UNITS) CSU
Recommended: Concurrent enrollment in Engineering Technology 049.
This course introduces basic direct current circuit analysis
fundamentals to students entering the field of computer
technology. Lecture presents DC concepts through series
