1 unit
3 hours lab
Prerequisite: PHYS 1C  (or concurrent enrollment) and MATH 270  (or concurrent enrollment)
Corequisite: ENGR 11  
Credit, degree applicable
Transfer CSU

This course serves as an introduction to the construction, measurement, and design of elementary electrical circuits and basic operational amplifier circuits. Students gain familiarity with the basic use of electrical test and measurement instruments, including multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, and function generators. Using principles of circuits analysis for direct current (DC), transient, and sinusoidal steady-state alternating current (AC) conditions, students develop data interpretation skills by using circuit simulations software and by direct measurements of circuits. Practical considerations such as component value tolerance and non-ideal aspects of laboratory instruments are also introduced.
