This course is a basic introduction to the principles of electronics for science majors. The course will concentrate on analog devices and systems. The approach is to employ modern techniques and interesting applications in developing mastery of important principles of electronics so the scientist can work effectively with electronic instrumentation. Hands-on circuits will be studied and electronic circuit simulation and design software will be employed.

Topics include passive and active circuit elements, complete response of an RLC circuit, solid state devices, operational amplifiers, and audio.

Includes a laboratory. Lab Fee.
