Fundamentals of Analog & Digital Electronics

Content: This course assumes no previous knowledge, but students are expected to be concurrently enrolled in college preparatory mathematics and science courses at their high school. If you are not familiar with the list of topics below, don't worry -- that's the language of electronics and you will learn it one step at a time! Students who have completed the foundation courses Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) and Principles of Engineering (POE) at TCD or their high school can easily transition into this course. This is not a comprehensive list of all available skills and goals, but given to show the scope of the curriculum. Changes may occur year to year based on industry input, change in focus, or other factors. Please contact the program instructor or coordinator for additional information. The course of study includes: Fundamentals of Analog & Digital Electronics
