    Description
    This course is an introduction to the construction and measurement of electrical circuits. It explores the basic use of electrical test and measurement instruments including multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, and function generators. Topics include the use of circuit simulation software and the interpretation of measured and simulated data based on principles of circuit analysis for DC, transient, and sinusoidal steady-state (AC) conditions as well as elementary circuit design, practical considerations such as component value tolerance and non-ideal aspects of laboratory instruments, the construction and measurement of basic operational amplifier circuits, and an introduction to fundamental semiconductor components such as diodes and transistors. Portions of instruction may be offered online; may also be offered fully online. [C-ID ENGR 260L]
