ELE 3141 - Transfer Electronics

2 lecture hours 2 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course is utilized to document approved transfer credit in Electronics from another college, normally as part of an articulation agreement, and is not intended for regular offering at MSOE. This course covers advanced topics associated with the analysis of electronic devices and circuits.  Fundamental mathematical modeling and applications of solid-state devices and operational amplifiers include device characteristics of p-n junction diodes, bipolar junction transistors (BJT), and metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFET); analysis of diode circuits, linear power supplies, and transistor switching circuits; and an introduction to design in the context of single-stage MOSFET amplifiers and operational amplifiers in standard configurations. Laboratory, simulation, and documentation experiences reinforce the lecture material.
Prereq: Typical AAS Electronic Devices I and II or equivalent, ELE 2001  or equivalent (quarter system prereq: typical AAS Electronic Devices I and II or equivalent, AAS-EET DC/AC III or equivalent)
Note: Both ELE 3141 and ELE 3151  are required to satisfy the two-course electronics sequence ELE 3101  Electronics I and ELE 3111  Electronics II at MSOE.
This course meets the following Raider Core CLO Requirement: None
