Course Description:

This course offers an introduction to small electronics and foundational concepts in electrical engineering. Through a combination of labs and theory, students will study electron flow and conventional current theories, as well as Ohm’s Law and Kirchhoff’s Law applied to series, parallel, and combination circuits. They will also develop skills in troubleshooting and debugging faulty circuits. Although not transcripted, this college-equivalent course prepares students for a college-level Introduction to Electronics class. A basic understanding of algebra is highly recommended.
