[Course] EE362 [Title] INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS [Crdts] 3.5 [Department] Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science [Scope] 
This course continues cadet education in electrical engineering through the study of basic electronic devices and circuits. It begins with an introduction to the ideal operational amplifier and its applications. It then covers the operation of the pn-junction diode and the bipolar junction transistor (BJT) in DC, large-signal, and small-signal regimes. The course emphasizes single-stage amplifier design. The course concludes with an introduction to field-effect transistors and the design, analysis, simulation, building, and testing of a two-stage audio amplifier. Three laboratory exercises, three mini-labs, and computer-aided simulations using the Cadence suite of software supplement the lectures with practical circuit analysis, design, construction and testing.
