Additional Course Information
Topical Outline: Each offering of this course must include the following topics (be sure to include information regarding lab,
practicum, and clinical or other non-lecture instruction).
The following performance will be expected of any student completing this course with a passing grade. There is no
absolute time limit on the performance of these objectives, unless noted, but the grade received by the student will
depend, in part, on the relative speed and precision of the student's performance in these tasks. Where subjective
evaluations are indicated, the instructor will make these judgments based on his or her knowledge of the skills required
to place a graduate with the expectation of successful on-job performance.
The student will be expected to show understanding in the following in written examination or laboratory
demonstration:
Frequency Effects
Amplifier frequency response
Decibel power gain Decibel voltage gain Bode plots
Miller effect

Required text(s), optional text(s) and/or materials to be supplied by the student:
A printed text covering appropriate material such as Electronics Principles by Malvino and Bates.
Suggested Course Maximum:
20 lecture, 20 laboratory
List any specific or physical requirements beyond a typical classroom required to teach the
course.
Lecture facilities for 20 students. Laboratory facilities for 20 students must include 10 bench positions each with a digital
meter, logic probe, 50 MHz oscilloscope and probes, bread boarding facility with power supply and signal generator, and
a stock of basic circuit components
Course Requirements/Grading System: Describe any course specific requirements such as research papers or
reading assignments and the generalized grading format for the course.
Evaluation of Performance:
Course grades will be determined by the percentage of course objectives for which the student can demonstrate
mastery and by attendance. Mastery of course objectives will be determined by written examinations, physical soldering
exams, an attendance grade as described in the Departmental Policy handout, a daily work grade which will include
graded homework, graded laboratory work, and a comprehensive final exam.
Approximate Grade Evaluation Summary:
