Course learning outcomes |
Upon completion of this course students should be able to analyze and design circuits using electronic devices such as diodes, transistors, and op-amps, and their circuit models. Students should have the ability to analyze biasing circuits and small-signal models, with and without the use of computer programs. They should also be able to describe the physical operation of basic semiconductor devices.
