Students registering in post-secondary level courses (numbered 100 to 499) will be required to meet the
requirements. Students in ELS or the University Foundations programs
can register in those courses identified in the with lower levels of language
proficiency.
Please note that not all courses are offered every semester.
4 credits
Electronics I
Prerequisite(s): PHYS 232
Construct electronic circuits containing diodes, bipolar junction transistors (BJTs), MOSFETs, and differential
amplifiers; analyze the frequency response of a circuit; design and troubleshoot circuits using simulation
software. A lecture/lab combination course with a final project.
Note: Students with credit for
PHYS 332 and PHYS 342 cannot take this course for further credit.
Conversion Boolean logic, arithmetic circuits, logic gates, A/D and D/A conversion, sequential digital logic,
digital design, and field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). A lecture/lab combination course with a final
project.
Note: Students with credit for PHYS 362 and PHYS 372 cannot take this course for further
credit.
Prerequisite(s): PHYS 232 or COMP 256 and MATH 125 and one of (PHYS 105, PHYS 112, PHYS 093 or Physics
12)
In this course students will learn how to create computerized control and analysis equipment for experimental
work. This includes interfacing a computer or microcontroller, such as the Arduino microcontroller, to various
instruments for data acquisition and instrument control using a state-of-the-art software platform such as
National Instrument's LabVIEW. Emphasis is on the practical aspects of interfacing a computer or microcontroller
to various instruments including timing issues, real-time data acquisition and instrument control, instrument
status, and acquisition speed.
Note: Students with credit for PHYS 392 cannot take ENPH 360 for
further credit.
