Chabot College Fall 2009 Course Outline for Electronic Systems Technology 50 INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY Catalog Description: 50 – Introduction to Electronic Systems Technology 2 units Introduction to electronic systems and circuits. Overview of career opportunities and job duties with electronic systems technology. Direct current and alternating current circuits including Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's laws. Measurement and characterization of electronic systems at the block diagram level. Laboratory practice includes the proper use of standard test instruments. 1 hour lecture, 2 hours laboratory. [Typical contact hours: lecture 17.5; laboratory 35] Prerequisite Skills: None Expected Outcomes for Students: Upon completion of the course the student should be able to: 1. name the four major segments of the electronics industry, explain the organization and operation of the electronics industry and identify career opportunities for technicians in industry; 2. define systems as it applies to electronics, list and explain the operation of the main building blocks and circuits of electronics systems; 3. describe, compare, and contrast voltage, current, power, efficiency, energy, resistance, impedance, capacitance and inductance as each relates to a basic circuit; 4. make common circuit measurements such as voltage, current and resistance with a multimeter; 5. explain meter loading and define precision and accuracy, and calculate accuracy and error; 6. make common AC circuit measurements such as voltage and frequency with an oscilloscope; 7. collect, organize, and present measurement data in tabular and graphic form.

From a schematic drawing of a simple circuit, identify the source and the load. Calculate current and power for given values of source voltage and load resistance. For a change in any one quantity, describe the effect on all other electrical quantities. b. Connect a 10x probe to the oscilloscope input. Use the probe calibration circuit to compensate the probe. Match waveforms to over, under, and properly compensated probes. 2. Methods of Evaluating Student Progress a. Homework and laboratory written reports b. Class participation c. Observation and critique of laboratory exercises d.
