ECT 2440 Study Guide - Final Guide: Thermistor, Temperature Coefficient, Curie Temperature
Document Summary
Goals: describe course philosophy and go over administrative details, define the goals and set the expectations for the course, become familiar with laboratory infrastructure, learn about the lab hardware and software tools. Course description the course is designed to provide a practical introduction to electronics with a focus on measurement and signals. The only prerequisites are courses in differential equations, as well as electricity and magnetism. We start with the premise that we as scientists and engineers design and built electronic systems in order to accomplish a certain task. Electronic devices help us achieve these tasks by detecting, processing and controlling various signals. For us, electronics exist in order to generate and process signals. This is an integrated problem and the purpose of this class is to develop the engineering methodology as well as the analytical and technical competency to address it. These are very general tasks and are part of any modern laboratory experience.
