7- Justification/Rationale for the course:
Electronic components are a part of virtually all modern electrical systems. Therefore it is
essential that the electrical engineering student have a solid understanding of the different
components that are used in electronic systems. Not only is it important for engineer to
understand the discrete behavior of components but also to comprehend how these
devices interact when they are combined in a larger system or circuit. This course is
designed to expose the student to the characteristics of electronic components as well as
their behavior when combined into complex circuits.
