Course description
In this course, students will acquire the elementary knowledge of information and communications engineering through "making things". Students learn necessary knowledge about basic electronic parts by fabricating a basic electronic circuit including a transistor. Students also learn how to use measuring instruments (oscilloscope, multimeter, function generator) and power supplies through the measurements and functional checking of the parts and the fabricated circuit.
Purpose of class
Through basic electronic circuit fabrication and checking its operation, learn basic knowledge of parts to be used and how to use the equipment such as oscilloscope, function generator, power supply.
Goals and objectives
  1. it is possible to understand the functions of measuring instruments such as oscilloscopes and handle them correctly.
  2. It is possible to understand the function of parts used in electronic circuits and to use them appropriately.
  3. It is possible to understand the operation principleof the transistor (amplification, switching) .

-Passing standard is over 60% (i.e. 60 points).
-It is possible to acquire more than 60 points by executing each experiment without fail , completing the circuit, submitting the report at the last class, and appropriately answering the oral examination.
Textbooks and reference materials
Texts (including report assignments) and presentation materials in each class will be uploaded on the web (*1) by the day before the class.
Students have to prepare (print (*2) and check in advance) and bring them class.
(*1) URL will be announced at the guidance. Note that the web server is only accessible from inside of SIT.
(*2) Please ask SIC (Scholarly Information Center) how to use printers from the PCs on the campus.
Monochrome print is enough (though the materials are colored).
Prerequisites
A scientific electronic calculator should be prepared. Calculator applications on the mobile phone cannot be used because the mobile phone is prohibited to use during the examination.
