PHY 1121 - Electronics Made Simple

Credits: 4
This hands-on laboratory course will cover the basic electronics concepts behind simple and complex electronic devices. The course covers analog and digital devices, AC and DC voltage and current and the fundamentals of robotics. Students will learn how to put together electronic components found in circuits and how they all work together in modern electronic devices. Both analog and digital circuits will be built and studied, and students will create their own robot which can sense its environment and communicate with the computer. No previous electronics experience is required, but a solid knowledge of algebra is recommended.
