Electronics

This course is designed to provide students with a foundation in the fundamentals of electricity and electronics. Students are introduced to DC and AC currents, basic concepts relating to atom theory, instrumentation, circuit materials, energy, sources of electricity, series, parallel and combination circuits, magnetism, transformers, inductance, capacitance, semiconductors, and integrated circuits. Students have the opportunity to learn in a hands-on lab where they learn to solder and complete projects such as electronic decision makers, sound-to-light units, theremins, digital clocks, radios, and robotic micro bugs.
