Course Description
|
The course is designed to serve as a first course about electronic circuits in the undergraduate electrical and electronics engineering curriculum. Hence, it is in the core of department subjects required for all undergraduates in electrical and electronics engineering.
The course introduces the fundamentals of electronic devices. The topics covered include: Semiconductor Diodes and Applications, Bipolar Junction Transistors Biasing and Analysis, Field-Effect Transistors and Amplifiers. Homeworks, design exercises and laboratory works are also significant components of the course.
|
Course Objectives
|
The course is about making an introduction to electronic devices and circuits. Therefore, its objective is to introduce the electronic devices to the electrical and electronics engineering majors. Students;
• learn the fundamentals of electronic devices and apply them to design and analysis of basic circuits. This includes diode, BJT, FET, their biasing and AC analysis.
• will attend to problem solving sessions, where they receive additional instruction related to biasing, AC analysis and applications.
• work in teams of 2-4 to design and analyze circuits in the laboratory sessions.
• solve, characterize, and study basic electronic circuits’ problems.
• are introduced to basic concepts of personal accountability, professional ethics and appropriate team interactions.
|
Course Learning Outcomes
|
On successful completion of this course, students will
- Know semiconductor diodes and be able to use them in applications,
- Be able to use the Bipolar Junction Transistors,
- Understand biasing and AC analysis of BJTs,
- Understand and be able to use Field-Effect Transistors and Amplifiers
- Be able to solve DC and AC analysis of FETs.
|

Homework & Projects
|
• Assignments are chosen from your textbook and can be found below the title “Assessment Problems” in each chapter.
• Homework will be assigned each week and will be due the following week. For example; Homework-1 is assigned in week-1 and will be submitted in week-2 before the lecture in which Solution-1 is provided.
• All homework assignments must be submitted as hardcopies, and they should be turned in at the beginning of lecture on the due date.
• Late homework will not be accepted.
• Each assignment will be worth 100 points.
• You are only allowed to do the homework alone.
• You will have a quiz at the beginning of each problem solution session.
• During quizzes, you may use your own notes, but nothing else is allowed—i.e., no books, no collaboration, no laptops, no mobile phones etc.
• Your lowest quiz/homework score will be dropped.
|
Laboratory Work
|
• Laboratory sessions will be conducted in three stages: simulation, experimentation and report generation.
• Students must prepare the simulation file(s) and notes related to each week’s experiment before the laboratory session.
• Laboratory reports should be turned in at the beginning of the following week’s lab session.
• The reporting format is available on the pru-online platform.
|
Computer Use
|
MATLAB will be used for circuit designs, experiments and calculations.
