Course Information

Description

This course introduces the fundamentals of circuit theory for the analysis of electrical circuits and the fundamentals of semiconductor devices for the understanding of transistors circuits and other useful actuators and sensors (i.e., transducers). Building on the principles from these two core fundamental areas of electrical engineering, the analog behavior of electronic circuits and physical devices will be modelled, analyzed, and applied. Lab assignments will focus on the design, implementation, and measurement of analog electronic circuits using real electrical components which interface to the physical world. This course complements and forms the basis for many of the abstractions that are used in digital computing systems such as in COMPSCI 1410 (formerly 141), COMPSCI 1411 (formerly 146), and COMPSCI 1480 (formerly 148).
