• Required: Horowitz, Paul and Winfield Hill. The Art of Electronics. 2nd ed. Cambridge University Press, 1989. ISBN: 9780521370950.
• Recommended: Dabney, James and Thomas Harman. Mastering Simulink® 2. Prentice-Hall, 1997. ASIN: 9780132437677.

Electronics Kit

Required: Each student must purchase an electronic parts kit containing resistors, capacitors, op amps, etc. for $35. Students will receive forms to bring to the Cashier's Office to pay this fee. The student keeps these electronic components. Students will not be issued kits until this fee has been paid.

Grading

 

There are no quizzes or exams. The lab grades will depend upon the lab report/pre-lab and upon an individual oral checkoff with the teaching staff. The pre-lab will be due the week before the lab itself.

Note: The course this year will have 5 labs and no final project.

Grad Students: To Receive G Credit
