ELEC-134 Electronic CircuitsCredits 3 / 4 Contact Hours
Pre-requisite: Placement into ACRD-080. Pre- or Co-requisite: ELEC 124 . Note: Course fee includes electronics kit and supplies.
This course covers direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) theory applied to resistive, capacitive, and inductive circuits. Laboratory assignments will emphasize proper wiring, analysis, and troubleshooting of electronic circuits using standard electronic bench equipment such as power supplies, digital multimeters (DMM), oscilloscopes, and function generators. Computer circuit simulation will also be utilized in design and analysis of fundamental DC and AC circuits.
