Overall aim of the course
Rational This course prepares the students with the fundamental ideas, theory and devices of
Electronics and their application in Engineering sector.This course also discussed
advanced concepts in electronics and electronic systems engineering
Including the recent research topics.
Course 1. To give understanding on how current flows through the p-n junction and relating
objective this phenomena to the characteristics and operation of the diodes, bipolar and
field-effect transistors.
2. An understanding of how complex devices such as Semiconductor diodes and
field-effect transistors are modeled and how the models are used in the design and
analysis of useful circuits.
3. Understand the application of different electronic devices and simple circuits.
Course Familiarity with electronic devices and circuits is fundamental to electrical engineering.
Synopsis The material covered here will further develop both in breadth and depth that which was
covered in the preceding courses, with a significant emphasis on developing design skills.
Topics to be covered will include: semiconductor devices, Transistors, FETs, multistage
amplifiers, selected circuits used in communication systems.
Students learning time (Total 135 hours)
a) Face to face 45 hours (lectures including class tests)
b) Independent 90 hours (Library, internet, assignments, home study etc.)
