Introduction to Electronics
Introduction to Electronics gives a brief and condensed overview of the world of analog electronics and discrete components. This course starts from the beginning and assumes you know nothing about electronics. It is intended to give you a foundation in electronics for future studies and/or to open up job opportunities where basic electronics knowledge is useful. The book I will be teaching from is "Electronics Technology Fundamentals: Electron Flow Version second edition" by Robert T. Paynter and B.j. Toby Boydell.
What will be covered in this course:
-Component names and functions
-Engineering Notation
-Principles of electricity and electrical flow
-How to measure Voltage, Current, and Resistance
-How to read the resistor color code scheme
-Reading basic schematics
-Ohm's Law and calculating circuit values
-DC (Direct Current) Principles and Circuits
-AC(Alternating Current) Principles and Circuits
-Series, Parallel, and Series/Parallel circuitry
-Magnetism
-How to use test equipment (i.e. Power supply, Oscilloscope, Function Generator, etc.)
-Soldering
We will be doing some math exercises and we will be working with our hands from time to time. The math we will be doing is at a "pre-college" algebra level and we will be using calculators. I strongly encourage you to bring a SCIENTIFIC calculator, though I have a few to provide if needed. I encourage those without much of a technical aptitude to give the course a shot. I will be more than happy to make a techie out of you ;-)

This is just a test
I have no idea how to communicate with you, Adam. Hopefully this works.
I work both of those days at that time every week, but might be able to adjust my schedule. Let me know what is decided as soon as possible. Thanks
