Course Descriptions for Computer and Electronic Technology
| CET-10 | Survey of Electronics | | CSU | (3 units lecture) | | | An overview of the scientific method as applied to the field of electronics, including the principles and laws of physics, chemistry and mathematical analysis to basic electronics. Direct current and alternating current components and circuits, semiconductor devices and circuits and their applications in areas such as electrical power generation and distribution, electronic communications, medical electronics, industrial electronics, and computers will be covered. Throughout the course, the scientific, historical, political and socioeconomic aspects of electronic technology will be examined. | | | | |
| | CET-10L | Survey of Electronics - Lab | | CSU | (1 unit lab) | | | A laboratory course designed to familiarize the student with the field of electrical/electronics devices, circuits, systems and test equipment through experimental measurement, data collection and mathematical analysis and evaluation. Laboratory exercises will include wiring and soldering, with an explanation of the chemistry and metallurgy of the wiring/soldering process. Modern techniques such as thin- and thick-film circuits, printed circuits, integrated circuits, and surface-mount circuits will be examined. Test equipment, such as multimeters, digital multimeters, power supplies, signal generators, network and logic analyzers, and oscilloscopes will be used to evaluate components, circuits, and systems for proper operation. Sources of circuit and measurement errors will be evaluated and compared to theoretical values to determine if devices, circuits and systems are operating within specified limits. | | Corequisite: CET-10 | | | |
