STUDENT ABILITIES:

1. Problem Solving

Problem solving is the process of identifying an obstacle or dilemma, using critical thinking strategies and decision making skills, and applying appropriate measures needed to overcome or resolve the obstacle or dilemma.

Problem solving is addressed through the process of solving electronic circuit problems and the actual construction and testing of electronic circuits.

2. Communication

Communication is the process by which a thought or impression is effectively moved through its unique mode from one person or source to another.

Communication is accomplished by the written description of electronics procedures and processes and the written and oral description of electronics laws and standards.

3. Ethical Decision Making

Ethical decision making is the selection of courses of action in accordance with principles or standards of right or good conduct.

Ethical decision making is addressed by discussing employee responsibilities concerning the confidentiality of an employers manufacturing process and the ethical use of software.

4. Self-Assessment

Self-assessment is a process of determining one's level of functioning, both strengths and weaknesses. It precedes the final decision-making stage of evaluation, focusing upon a number of variables judged to be important, and using a number of techniques to provide authentic and meaningful feedback for improvement.

Students are encouraged to compare self-expectations with actual performance and evaluate the reasons for success or failure.

This class incorporates three one credit-hour classes described in the Crowder College catalog into one three credit-hour class.

Electronics 131 – Foundations of Electronics

Electronics 132 – DC Circuits

Electronics 133 – AC Circuits

SECTION 1: Electronics 131 - Foundations Of Electronics

This section is designed to provide a solid foundation for the study of electricity/electronics by introducing the fundamental laws of electricity and electrical safety. It builds upon those fundamentals by the study of Ohm's Law, current, voltage, resistance, power sources, and DC measuring instruments.

OBJECTIVES:

Students successfully completing this section will be able to demonstrate an understanding of:

1. Discuss and describe the nature of electricity and the force that makes current move from one point to another around a closed electrical circuit.

2. Discuss and describe proper procedures concerning electrical safety.

3. Discuss and describe the nature of resistors and their effect on DC circuits.

4. Discuss and describe electrical units and notations.

5. Discuss and describe the use of multimeters.

6. Understand current flow, polarity, and voltage.

7. Use powers of ten and scientific notation.

8. Define polarity and its effect concerning electrical circuits.

SECTION 2: Electronics 132 – DC Circuits

DC Circuits builds on the concepts learned in Foundations of Electronics by introducing complete series, parallel, and series-parallel circuits. The laws, formulas, and methods used to analyze these circuits are introduced in this class.

OBJECTIVES:

1. Define the term SERIES CIRCUIT and list the primary characteristics that identify a series circuit.

2. Define the term PARALLEL CIRCUIT and list the primary characteristics that identify a parallel circuit.

3. Define the term SERIES-PARALLEL and list the primary characteristics that identify a series-parallel circuit.

4. Calculate total resistance, total voltage, total current , and total power for series and parallel circuits.

5. Explain the effect of opens and shorts in series and parallel circuits.

6. Analyze and create voltage dividers.

7. Define cells and batteries and the basic types of each.

8. Discuss the basic laws of magnetism.

9. List the basic designs used for inductors and the properties of each.

10. List the basic designs used for capacitors and the properties of each.
