Introduction to Electronic Theory

Course No. 104-2

(Course Outline shown below.)

For Whom Intended This course is intended for individuals whose primary formal training is not in the field of electronic engineering. Electrical controls and electronics are incorporated in almost every technical activity, and all technical personnel have to deal, at least to some extent, with some aspects of electrical engineering. A basic understanding of electronics is essential to better perform their main function.

Objectives To help participants to understand the concepts and terminology of electronics. It is not an in-depth electronics course but rather a course aimed at individuals who require an intensive review of basic principals, without the assumption of any prior knowledge of the topic. The course is fast-paced and as non-mathematical as possible.

Brief Course Description The course begins with the concept of an electrical circuit, with an example. A brief review of related mathematics follows, including vectors, phasors, RMS and scientific and engineering notation. The course covers basic concepts of electrical theory, starting with the simple DC circuit and Ohm’s Law. Sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal waveforms are discussed as they apply to electrical technology.

The course then describes the basic components encountered in electrical circuits, such as resistors, capacitors, inductors etc. The course discusses behavior of inductors and gives examples of circuit theory, including LCR circuits and filters, also transient RL circuit analysis. Resonant circuits and their applications are covered. The basic theory of transformers and their various types: power, current, potential and transformers used in measurement systems are discussed, as are rectifier and filter circuits.

Moving from electricity to basic electronics, we cover the theory of solid state electronics including semiconductor physics, diodes and transistors. The course presents amplifiers, including various applications of power amplifiers, negative feedback etc. This leads to the study of oscillators and digital logic circuits.

Related Courses, Certificate Programs  This course is related to TTi’s courses 104-3 and 104-5, which satisfy the 104 requirement for TTi’s Mechanical Design Specialist, Metrology Specialist or Instrumentation Test Specialist certificate programs. It may be used as an elective for any other TTi Specialist Certificate Program. Any TTi course may be presented on-site, at your facility.

Text  Each student will receive a course workbook, including most of the viewgraphs used in the course presentation.

Course Hours, Certificate and CEUs  Open courses meet seven hours per day. Upcoming presentation dates can be found on our current open course schedule. Class hours/days for on-site courses can vary from 14-35 hours over 2-5 days as requested by our clients. Upon successful course completion, each participant receives a certificate of completion and one Continuing Education Unit (CEU) for every ten class hours.
