Subject:

Description:

3 Credits This course will provide students with a background in electronics as it applies to the design of circuits of measuring instruments and to interface sensors and computers. The program of study will concentrate on following the form of the electrical signal from light, pressure, temperature, and other sensors as it proceeds through signal conditioning circuits and into the microcomputer for further processing. In the laboratory portion of the course the student will explore the design of pertinent regulated power supplies, amplifiers, logic circuits, filters, stepper motors, servo motors, and A-to-D and D-to-A converters. This work will serve as the basis for design project assignments to produce one or two working instruments that are interfaced to a microcomputer. Prerequisites: EGR 115, PS 219, PS 220, or instructor's waiver. Corequisite: MA 345.
