PRE-REQUISITE(S)

70326+70320

SYNOPSIS:

Familiarity  with  electronic devices and circuits is  fundamental  to
electrical engineering. 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 RESTRICTED;  only  the
     student's  own  handwritten  notes  and  writing  materials   are
     permitted.  Part B is worth 50% of the total examination  and  is
     OPEN BOOK.
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    The   Faculty  of  Engineering  and  Surveying  will  NOT  accept
     submission  of  hand written or typed assignments  by  facsimile,
     email  or computer diskette. Students in remote locations who  do
     not  have regular access to postal services may be given  special
     consideration.
7    A  minimum  standard of communication skills must be demonstrated
     in order for a passing grade to be achieved.
