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.
22 - ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS II (4 UNITS) CSU
Prerequisite: Completion of Electronics 006 with a grade of “C” or
better.
This course covers (through lecture, discussion, and
laboratory) semiconductor devices and their application
to linear circuits; including heat sink theory and
evaluation, and the analysis of rectifier and amplifier
circuits (including H-Parameters). 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.
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)
CSU
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)
CSU
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.
