ELEC 1090 - Introduction to Electronics Engineering

Institution:

Hennepin Technical College

Subject:

Description:

Electronics are all around us today, from the gadgets we use to the essentials we depend on. A working knowledge of electricity and electronics will help you better understand these devices and appreciate their capabilities. This course will introduce you to the basic laws governing currents and voltages in circuits, including Ohm's Law and Kirchhoff's Law. The course will introduce electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, and their functions in real world applications. Circuit parameters like voltage, current, resistance, and power will be computed. Prototyping on a breadboard and on a simulation software (MULTISIM) will be explored. Basic soldering skills such as through hole and wire soldering will be explored, culminating in building a working project. Circuit parameters will be measured using instruments such as a multimeter and an oscilloscope. This course will include both theory and hands on experiences to help you explore your interest in electronics. (Prereq: None) (EP) 3 cr
