STAFFING:

PRE-REQUISITE(S)

70325 or E2002

SYNOPSIS:

Familiarity  with  electronic devices and circuits is  fundamental  to
electrical engineeing.  The material covered here will further develop
both  in  breadth  and depth that which was covered in  the  preceding
units,  with  a  significant  emphasis on  developing  design  skills.
Topics  to  be covered will include : semiconductor devices  (discrete
and  integrated),  logic families, multistage amplifiers,  operational
amplifiers,   active   filters,  negative   and   positive   feedback,
oscillators,   power   supplies  and   selected   circuits   used   in
communication systems.

OBJECTIVES:

After successfully completing this unit, a student will be able to :

1. describe the principle of operation and typical application of common semiconductor devices such as diodes, transistors, linear and digital integrated circuits, and
2. understand the principle of operation and design of a wide range of electronic circuits such as amplifiers, power supplies, filters etc, and
3. demonstrate competence in the breadboarding and testing of electronic circuits using oscilloscopes, multimeters, signal sources and power supplies.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS:

1    In  order  to  successfully  complete  the  unit,  students  must
     normally  obtain,  in aggregate, 50 percent of  the  total  marks
     allocated.   In  addition,  students must  achieve  at  least  50
     percent  of  the marks allocated in each of the examination,  the
     assignments, the CML and the residential schools.
2    Attendance at residential school is compulsory.
3    Because  it is normal practice to release model answers  promptly
     after the due date, the penalty for late submission of assignment
     work  will  normally be the loss of all marks for the assignment,
     unless prior arrangements are agreed to by the examiner.
4    The  examination in this unit consists of two parts.  Part  A  is
     worth 50% of the total examination and is OPEN BOOK.  Part  B  is
     worth  50% of the total examination and is RESTRICTED;  only  the
     student's  own  handwritten  notes  and  writing  materials   are
     permitted.
5    A  grade  of  HD,  A  or B will be awarded to students  achieving
     overall  percentages of approximately 90, 80 or 65  respectively,
     provided no one of their scores for the examination, the combined
     CML   assignments  and  the  combined  assignments  1  to  5   is
     significantly below this same level.
6    It  is the policy of the Faculty of Engineering and Surveying NOT
     to  accept  submission  of assignments  by  facsimile  or  email.
     Students  in remote locations who do not have regular  access  to
     postal services may be given special consideration.
