Topics include the real and complex number systems, polynomials, exponents, radicals, solving equations and inequalities (linear and nonlinear), relations and functions, systems of equations and inequalities (linear and nonlinear), matrices, graphing, conic sections, sequences and series, combinatory and the binomial theorem.

An extension of and enhancement to DC/AC I. More advanced topics, such as complex networks, applicable theorems, polyphase systems, and passive filters, will be discussed. Computer simulation software will be used to reinforce theoretical analyses.

The basic operating principles of diodes, transistors, and linear ICs are presented as they are used in rectifier, amplifier, and oscillator circuits. Lecture theory is reinforced with laboratory assembly, measurements, troubleshooting, and technical report writing.

The student will prepare and present oral and written technical reports. Types of reports may include lab and field reports, proposals, technical letters and memos, technical research reports, and case studies. This course is designed as an advanced communication course for students who have completed at least the prerequisite introductory writing course.

Introduction to unipolar transistors, JFETs, and MOSFETs being used in linear and nonlinear circuits. Students will use high frequency analysis with both bipolar and unipolar transistors. Operational amplifiers are used as linear amplifiers and in nonlinear circuits. Some circuits covered include voltage amplifiers, summing amplifiers, instrumentation amplifiers, active filters and oscillators.

This course introduces students to some of the major theories and topics of psychology, including the physiological basis of behavior, personality and learning theories, memory, states of consciousness, stress, research methods, intelligence, human development, psychopathology, and social behavior.

Students will learn and apply the skills for the safe use of hand tools, soldering, desoldering, copper and fiber termination. These skills will be demonstrated in the construction of electronics based projects.
