BROAD 150: Basic Electronics Concepts

This course introduces students to the study of direct-current and alternating-current electronic concepts. Topics include electrical terms, circuit components, electricity and magnetism, series and parallel circuits, Ohm’s law, energy and power, and characteristics of AC waveforms. Lab activities prepare students for lectures and enhance their understanding of the principles presented in class sessions and through the Canvas learning management system. Activities include reading assignments, guided experimentation with DC and AC circuits, test equipment and tools, and a series of simple projects to develop soldering skills and understanding of circuits and circuit diagrams.
