MFGT 201 — Fundamentals of Electronics for Manufacturing 3 Units
The course will introduce basic electrical theory from passive components through simple circuitry with an integrated test methods lab. The course will cover DC circuits and AC circuits, electrical theory, magnetism, Ohm's Law, series and parallel circuits, passive components, semiconductor devices, and basic circuitry. Students learn to calculate and measure voltage, resistance and current, build and test working models of typical electrical circuits using table top components and industry specific simulators, and practice troubleshoot diagnosis on a variety of circuits. Students will also develop an understanding of modern electrical test equipment, such as digital multimeter and oscilloscope, and industry standard troubleshooting and repair procedures. Field trips may be required.
