Purpose of class
The purpose of this class is to fabricate basic electronic circuits and, through verifying their operation, learn about the parts used and how to operate fundamental measurement instruments such as oscilloscopes, function generators, and power supplies. Furthermore, students will develop the ability to demonstrate teamwork and fulfill their assigned roles when working in groups on given measurement tasks.
Course description
This course enables students to acquire foundational knowledge in information and communications engineering through hands-on hardware fabrication, while developing the ability to process data appropriately through report assignments.
After learning how to use basic measurement instruments such as oscilloscopes, function generators, and power supplies, students will fabricate fundamental circuits and verify their operation using these instruments. This process will foster an understanding of the parts used.
Goals and objectives
  1. It is possible to understand the functions of measurement instruments such as oscilloscopes and be able to operate them correctly by broadly applying fundamental knowledge of information and communications engineering.
  2. It is possible to understand the functions and operating principles of parts used in electronic circuits which are fundamental concepts common to information and communication engineering, and be able to correctly acquire and analyze data.
  3. Students are able to demonstrate teamwork and fulfill their assigned roles when working in groups on assigned tasks.
