An overview of basic electronics at the practical level. The course provides mechanical engineering students with the fundamentals to perform basic electronics work needed in laboratories, subsequent courses and their professional careers. Topics include both passive and active components, AC and DC circuits, and a focus on operational amplifier and transistor driven circuits needed for instrumentation and control. Hands-on work in each area complements theoretical analysis, and ensures that students can implement these circuits and devices practically; students will analyze and build circuits both from circuit diagrams, as well as from product datasheets.
