Course Description

The course covers basic principles and theories of semiconductor devices such as diodes and transistors. It also deals with the
applications of diodes and transistors. DC and AC analysis of bipolar junction and field effect transistors, transistor amplifiers and
switches are also included. Focuses on the fundamentals of electronics and analysis of networks.

COURSE OUTCOMES (CO)

By the end of the semester, students should be able to: Alignment to Program Outcomes

Grading System
The students grade for the course is computed based on both formative and summative assessment data. The computation is
detailed below.
Grade Component Weight Computation
SW, HW, Edmodo Activities (CS) (20%) Midterm Grade = (CS*0.20) + (LQ*0.50) +(EX*0.30)
Long Quizzes, Design Project (LQ) (50%) Final Grade = (CS*0.20) + (LQ*0.50) +(EX*0.30)
Major Exams (Midterm/Finals)(EX) (30%)
Overall Grade:
Midterm Grade x 0.40
