Basic algebra and geometry is used to illustrate the functions of various circuits and their components. Anyone who desires to have a better grasp of electronics will benefit by utilizing the knowledge from this course. Robert Hanson has unmatched experience in teaching and knowledge of electronics. As a Testability Overseer for Boeing Commercial Airline products, Mr. Hanson worked with non-EEs and quickly became aware of the need for non-EEs to have a working understanding of electronics and for EEs to communicate clearly with non-EEs. Building on that practical knowledge, Mr. Hanson designed this course to provide non-EEs the information they need. He has taught this course over thirty times receiving outstanding reviews each time from participants. He has presented the course for both the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Wisconsin. His clear instruction builds on 30 years of working experience in electronics including in manufacturing, hardware testing, and operational/test software. His teaching also reflects the fact that he has taught electronics and digital design courses throughout the United States, Europe, South Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Mr. Hanson has an M.S.E.E. from the University of Southern California, a B.S.E.E. from the University of Washington, and a B.S.I.E. and a B.S.B.A. from the University of North Dakota. He brings his practical experience and educational background to present a seminar that nonEEs will find accessible and useful. www.americomseminars.com ESSENTIALS OF ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY COURSE OUTLINE DAY 1 FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTRICITY & ELECTRONICS The science of electricity and electronics--matter, atoms, molecules, electrons, protons, neutrons, voltage, and current CIRCUITS: PROVIDING THE PATHWAY FOR USING ELECTRICITY How a circuit uses electricity The four key elements of a circuit: source, load, pathway, and switch Measuring the four elements of electrical circuits using volt meters, ammeters, ohmmeters, watt meters (using Watt’s law) Controlling the flow of electricity on a circuit: potentiometers, switches, variable resistors Two kinds of circuits: series and parallel circuits Using different kinds of parallel circuits to save money and power and to keep them efficient and compact.
