Stetten Term: Spring Description:This course covers electronic circuit theory and the practical aspects of building electronic prototypes. It also covers the mathematics of convolution, complex exponentials and Fourier transforms. A series of projects are built by each student individually, using a system of student-owned electronics components and tools called the PittKit. The kit includes a special apparatus, the Breadboard Laboratory Interface Processor (BLIP) which each student constructs, and which acts as a logging voltmeter, a frequency meter, a logic analyzer, a waveform generator, and a pulse duration meter. The BLIP interfaces to any computer via the USB port, without requiring any special software to be installed on the computer. In conjunction with a special web based program, the BLIP-o-Scope, students have a convenient graphical user interface for their laboratories. The goal of the course is to teach the underlying principles of electronics and thereby provide broader knowledge of linear systems through hands-on interaction with hardware. Prerequisites: MATH 0240 Required Texts: see course website Class/Laboratory Schedule: One 2 hour lecture per week and one 2.5 hour laboratory. Course Website: Course Website |
