COURSE OBJECTIVES: The stated Program Objectives will be evidenced utilizing team oriented design, analysis,
construction, testing, documentation, and demonstration techniques. Being a capstone course, Electronics Design and
Analysis is intended to require extensive utilization of concepts introduced in previous courses. Each student should
show the following abilities.
- To research and understand operational electronic systems
- To design and predict electronic systems behavior
- To prototype and troubleshoot electronic systems
- To research component costs and availability
- To effectively document and communicate orally, in writing, by interview, and by presentation
TEXT: Industrial Electronics, Rehg, Prentice-Hall. Textbooks from previous courses will be used as references.

System Projects: Several electronic system projects will be performed during the semester. An engineering notebook
will be kept documenting the design process. Projects will be taken from the design stage to the implementation stage.
Mock Interviews: Students will be required to do a mock interview during the Industrial Advisory Committee meeting.
Students will be required to prepare a resume documenting their current qualifications.
Industry Tours: Tours of different industry sites will be performed during the semester. Students will be required to write
a memo documenting their experience.
Certifications: Several certification labs and quizzes will be performed during the semester. Students will be required to
perform certain experiments demonstrating their competency in different electronic areas. The final exam will be the
Certified Electronics Technician certification assessment.
Assignments: Several assignments will be given to assess the students comprehension of the subject matter.
Schedule: The first 11 chapters will be covered in the text. The first several chapters are review of previous courses and
will be covered in the first several weeks. Approximately two weeks will be allocated to each of the following chapters.
