Electronic Devices

This course provides the electronic engineering technician with an overall knowledge of semiconductor devices and their applications. Students will obtain an overall knowledge as to how semiconductor circuits make up a schematic diagram and thus a major portion of any electronic system. Emphasis will be placed on understanding schematics related to small signal power supplies and amplifiers. Students will become familiar with technical reports and the use of circuit design programs in order to simulate the response of various electronic circuits as part of their pre-lab requirements. Emphasis will be placed on student troubleshooting in the lab.
