Prototype and Practical Skills 2: Electronics Design
Overview
This project course will introduce students to electronic circuits, sensors, and electromechanical actuators.
Students will learn to safely:
- Work with basic circuit components and elements such as batteries, power supplies, resistors, capacitors, inductors, and LEDs (light emitting diodes);
- Prototype electronic circuits on bread boards;
- Solder electronic circuit components;
- Use various types of power supply circuits;
- Use temperature, pressure, light, motion, magnetic field, humidity, and various other types of sensors;
- Connect sensors to embedded computers such as the Raspberry Pi and Arduino;
- Interpret real world measurements within the embedded computer from the connected sensor;
- Use motors, relays, servos, solenoids, and various other types of electromechanical actuators;
- Use the requisite driver circuits for various electromechanical actuators.
Demonstrations, lectures and hands on lab work.
Evaluation will be carried out in accordance with Â鶹ÊÓƵ policy. The instructor will decide on the exact evaluation criteria.
Labs (separate from projects): 10%
Quizzes: 10%
Project 1: 15% – 20%
Project 2: 15% – 20%
Project 3: 15% – 20%
Final Project: 20% – 35%
After successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Explain the procedures for working safely in an electronics workshop;
- Demonstrate their knowledge of electronic systems design and integration;
- Demonstrate their knowledge of passive electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors;
- Demonstrate their knowledge of active electronic elements such as batteries and power supplies;
- Design and prototype with various types of sensors, such as temperature and pressure, and their requisite amplifier circuits;
- Design and prototype with various types of electromechanical actuators, such as motors and relays, and their requisite driver circuits;
- Design and prototype with embedded computers such as the Raspberry Pi and Arduino.
Teaching materials will be decided by the instructor at the time of the course offering. Students consult Â鶹ÊÓƵ bookstore for current required text/materials. The following resources could be considered:
- Â鶹ÊÓƵ Custom Courseware on Electronics Design
- "Practical Electronics for Inventors" by Paul Scherz and Simon Monk, current edition
- "Make: Electronics (Learning by Discover)" by Charles Platt, current edition
- "Electronics from the Ground Up: Learn by Hacking, Designing, and Inventing" by Ronald Quan, current edition
