Overview:
This course analyzes electronic systems by considering the functions of passive and active
electronic devices such as sources, resistors, capacitors, inductors and semiconductor diodes and
transistors. It seeks to describe the responses of circuits to several parameters. Having familiarized
themselves with electronic devices, students, at the end of the course, are expected to at least assemble if
not develop an electronic system of input-process-output scheme for signals.
Objectives:
At the end of the course, students are expected to
1. analyze circuits consisting of resistors, capacitors, inductors and semiconductor devices
2. provide proper arrangement/configuration of electronic components to meet given input and output
conditions of signals
3. construct and explain the operations, as a system, of an electronic project
Course Requirements
Textbooks: No specific textbook prescribed. See list of suggestions
Software: Circuit Maker (Student Version)
Course Policies
Lecture – 65% Laboratory -25% Project – 10%
3 long Exams – 45% Reports – 15%
Final Exam – 5% Performance – 10%
Quizzes – 15%
Agreement
1. Attendance during lecture is not checked. However, no make-up test will be given for missed quizzes.
2. Long examinations are USUALLY BUT NOT NECESSARILY announced. No reconsideration for
missed long exams except for VERY valid reasons, justified by ORIGINAL support papers.
3. Attendance during laboratory meetings is checked and is credited under performance. A student must
not submit a lab report for a session he/she was not present. Make up classes for lab are scheduled on
the last week of the term, with the student requesting for consideration making ALL necessary room
and equipment arrangement.
4. Laboratory reports MUST be computerized, following a lab report template. Lab reports are due on the
next laboratory schedule. Late laboratory reports are accepted with corresponding deductions. Lab
reports are graded using a scale of 0-5 with 5 as the perfect score.
