5 Credits, Grades 10-12

Prerequisite: Electronics I

Electronics II is a 5 credit elective course open to all students in grades 10‐12. A prerequisite is the successful completion of Electronics I or departmental recommendation. Electronics II is designed for the student who has mastered a fundamental knowledge of basic electricity/electronics and desires to further his/her appreciation, knowledge and understanding of becoming technologically literate. The course will include an investigation of the basic electronic concepts of inductance, capacitance, reactance, impedance and resonance. The operation of semiconductor devices will be included. The basic concepts and components common to electronics will be used to explore the function and operation of the three basic electronic circuits – the power supply, amplifier, and oscillator. Included will be the function and operation of electronic test equipment such as oscilloscope, digital meters, signal generator, and frequency counter. Printed circuit techniques, tool/machine operation, soldering, material fabrication and computer assisted software are all included in this course.
