9 courses with the subject ELC, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
Includes study of semiconductor diodes, transistors and field effect transistors. The characteristics of these devices and their use in design are studied. Emphasis is given to the transistor as a linear amplifying device. Prerequisite(s): ELC 106
Considers the principle electrical quantities; current, voltage and resistance; electrical properties of materials, Ohms law, DC power calculations, series and parallel circuits and series- parallel networks; circuit analysis and conversions, network theorems, measurement instruments and techniques; AC sine wave characteristics, inductive and capacitive circuit and analysis. Corequisite(s): MTH 104
Mathematical techniques developed in Circuit Analysis I are extended to Advanced DC circuits including capacitive and inductive reactances. Exponential responses are investigated. Methods for determining circuit responses with varying frequency sinusoidal voltage and current sources driving them are investigated. Complex notation and complex algebra are used extensively in solving network problems. Prerequisite(s): ELC 106
Concerned with electronic systems based on Boolean algebra using electronic devices in a switching mode. Logic gates are identified and their characteristics described in terms of Boolean algebra. Boolean theorems and manipulative techniques are used to design combinational logic circuits. Significant logic families and their characteristics are described. Number systems and their conversions are investigated with emphasis on those systems most used in the computer field. Logic devices are combined into the three classes of multi-vibrators. Sequential logic combinations of multi-vibrators, their uses and waveforms are studied. Binary arithmetic and the relevant circuits are investigated. Interfacing of the analog and digital worlds is considered. Prerequisite(s): ELC 106
INTERNSHIP 1-12-3 Students will obtain experience in the electronics-engineering field through a combination of occupational instruction and on-the-job training. This course integrates classroom occupational study with a planned supervised practical work experience. Prerequisite(s):

Students will become familiar with the microprocessor as a circuit device, with its architecture and its role in micro- processor-based systems. The organization of these systems will be investigated to specify the roles of buses and ancillary integrated circuits and input and output functions. Particular attention will be given to the interfacing of the microprocessor system with the outside world in both parallel and serial. The student will learn assembly language programming and the use of an assembler to generate object code. Prerequisite(s): ELC 114
A continuation of Microprocessors and includes a more in-depth study of peripherals and interfacing, microprocessors with peripheral devices. Students study later generation chips to include 16-bit microprocessors. Special purpose microprocessor-based systems are introduced and related to microcomputer and industrial applications. Prerequisite(s): ELC 206
TRANSMISSION 3-2-4 This course is designed to develop a comprehensive understanding of the activities associated with electric utility line work, specifically; sub- transmission circuits, distribution substations, primary feeders, distribution transformers, secondary power systems, and customer connections. Students will engage in classroom and laboratory activities to develop the basic technical skills necessary to obtain a working knowledge and understanding of power distribution and transmission systems. Safety is strongly emphasized and special attention is given to explaining relevant electrical formulas and calculations. Consistent, easy-to-understand explanations and examples are used to explain the operation of each system. A blend of theory, formulas, lab work and historical information stimulates interest in the continuing study of electric utility line work. Hands-on use of equipment occurs in a lab setting. Prerequisite(s): ELC 106, ELC 107
