Course Description:
ITEC 216 Electronic Circuits: Circuit Principles
Students are introduced to the building blocks of analog circuits, circuit terminology, elements and conventions, network terminology, and resistor networks. Students analyze, simulate, design, and test circuits.
ITEC 217 Electronic Circuits: Electronics
Students model and analyze RLC circuits and are able to find the transient, steady-state, and complete response of a circuit. Students also study frequency response & power concepts and design an AM receiver.
ITEC 218 Electronic Circuits: Circuits
Students are introduced to semiconductors, transistor circuits, and digital logic circuits. Students gain an understanding of signal processing, circuit analysis and circuit design. Groups design electronic projects.
Course Objectives:
ITEC 216
- Understand circuit terminology, elements and conventions
- Describe the energy transformation in a resistor, inductor and capacitor
- Formulate and solve circuit equations
- Simplify networks using equivalent circuits
- Analyze signal processing circuits
ITEC 217
- Model 1st and 2nd-order circuits using a differential equation
- Use the concept of impedance to simplify circuits
- Find the complete circuit response to various inputs
- Compute the frequency response for a circuit
- Analyze and design simple filters (low-pass, high-pass and band-pass)
ITEC 218
- Understand the operating mechanisms of the basic types of transistors
- Explain the behaviour of basic amplifiers and switches
- Identify and design basic switching circuits
- Design basic op-amp circuits for a variety of applications
- Describe and analyze systems to predict system behaviour
Delivery Method:
Presentational Cooperative (PC). In this course delivery model students meet once per week to participate in cooperative learning activities facilitated by an instructor. Learning that would traditionally occur in a lecture is instead supported in a Web presentation that includes multimedia and interactive elements. The Presentational Cooperative Model reproduces most of the cost advantages of traditional lecture course while offering students more convenient access and more effective conditions for learning. Courses using this model will build the collaborative work skills that are a primary learning goal for SFU Students. Some courses, using this model, offer an optional Open Lab where students can receive additional learning support. Assessment may be based on individual and group assignments, quizzes, projects, and examinations.
