EET 104 - Fundamentals of Manufacturing Electronics

4 Credit(s)

Prerequisite(s): MTH 20 or designated placement, and RD 90 and WR 90 or WR 91 (WR 91 substitutes for both RD 90 and WR 90), or designated placement.

Recommended Prerequisite(s): MTH 60

Course Description: Provides students with a hands-on survey of manufacturing electronics concepts, circuits, and systems. The course introduces DC/AC theory, digital, solid state, power supply fundamentals, and integrated circuits. Topics covered include: safety practices related to working with electrical devices; electrical components and wiring; electronic test instruments; tools and fasteners; electrical units and nomenclature; principles and analysis of series, parallel, and series-parallel circuits; electrical power generation and control; and filtering devices and circuits. In addition to enhancing learning by providing practical applications of theoretical circuit models, lab assignments provide opportunities for increased knowledge and proficiency in the proper use of industry standard test equipment.

Course Level: Career/Tech Preparatory

Course Learning Outcomes:

CLO#1: Demonstrate applied knowledge of DC/AC, digital, and solid-state electronic terminology and theory including calculating voltage, current, resistance and power distribution in series, parallel and series/parallel circuits. (ILO: Quantitative Literacy and Reasoning)
CLO#2: Demonstrate proficiency in operation of electronic test equipment including digital multimeters (DMMs), DC power supplies, logic probes, function generators, and oscilloscopes.
CLO#3: Demonstrate a working knowledge of introductory electronics circuits and PLC applications including relay switching, loaded voltage dividers, filters, power supplies, amplifiers and DC motor drivers.
CLO#4: Document circuit operation and functions using verbal and written descriptions that meet laboratory standards.
CLO#5: Demonstrate an understanding of safety practices in the lab and work place.
