Pre-requisite(s): ELC 112 , ELC 131 or ELC 140.
Course is typically offered in Spring.
Course has transfer restrictions - 20 years

Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs)
At completion of the course, the student should be able to do the following:

Analyze the properties and applications of semiconductor materials, including the behavior of P-type and N-type materials in industrial electronic circuits.
Use digital multimeters and oscilloscopes to measure and interpret signals in industrial electronic circuits.
Evaluate the performance of different rectifier circuits and their role in converting AC to DC in industrial applications.
Simulate basic transistor-based circuits, including amplifiers and switches, and analyze their operation in industrial electronic systems.
Repair industrial electronic circuits using knowledge of special diodes, voltage regulation, and switching.
