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

5.00 Credits
This course will introduce students to a wide range of active solid-state devices such as transistors, unijunction transistors and silicon-controlled rectifiers. It also teaches how these devices are used in practical circuits such as amplifiers, speed controls, switching circuits and timing circuits. The student will compute component and circuit parameters. These will then be compared with measured data. Circuits will be designed and evaluated by breadboarding and/or computer simulation software. (Prereq: ELEC1150 or equivalent) (EP) 5 cr
-
2.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the fundamentals of Multisim, an interactive software suite by National Instruments. Multisim can be used for schematic capture, board layout and integrated testing of electronic circuits. In this course, students build schematics and evaluate circuit performance through interactive simulation and analyses. A majority of this course involves hands on activities which includes constructing, simulating and troubleshooting circuits. At the end of this course students will demonstrate competence by designing and simulating a circuit that demonstrates a real-world application. (Prereq: ELEC1000 and ELEC1050) (EP) 2 cr

2.00 Credits
LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench) is a graphical programming environment used to model applications that require testing, measurement and control. In this course, students will develop data acquisition, instrument control, data logging and measurement analysis applications. LabVIEW's graphical approach allows students to program without the need to master complex coding. LabVIEW's user interface can display the results as Graphs, Gauges and LEDs. A majority of this course involves hands on activities, including modelling and simulating real world applications. At the end of this course students will demonstrate competence by creating an application to acquire, process, display and store real-world data. (Prereq: ELEC1000 and ELEC1050) (EP) 2 cr
-
3.00 Credits
This course will allow students to troubleshoot larger circuits and systems. Students will utilize schematics, wiring diagrams, functional block diagrams, component placement diagrams, deductive reasoning and test equipment to determine faulty circuits and components. A practical troubleshooting exercise will be the final test. (Prereq: ELEC1250 or equivalent) (EP) 3 cr
