|Catalog Data: |216: Linear Electronic Circuits |

| |(3 credits) Theoretical study of linear electronic devices and circuits, including field effect |

| |transistors, frequency response of amplifiers. Prerequisites: EET210. |

|Goals of the Course: |Linear Electronic Circuits The goal of the course is to teach students to analyze and design small |

| |signal and power amplifiers and power supplies using electronic devices such as diodes, transistors |

| |and integrated circuits.  Students will also learn to analyze MOSFETS, diacs, thyristors, and triacs.|

|Relationship of EET Program |EET 216 contributes to the following EET program outcomes: |

|Outcomes: |Students should be able to apply basic knowledge in electronics, electrical circuit analysis, |

| |electrical machines, microprocessors, and programmable logic controllers (Outcome 1) |

| |Students should be able to apply basic mathematical, scientific, and engineering concepts to |

| |technical problem solving (Outcome 3) |

|Course Outcomes: |The specific course outcomes supporting the program are: |

| |Outcome 1: |

| |Students will understand the effect of operating point on the performance of BJT and FET amplifiers |

| |and be able to select and design for proper bias. |

| |Students will understand the small signal operation of BJT and FET amplifiers and be able to analyze |

| |operation. |

| |Students will understand the concept of frequency response and be able to develop a Bode plot for a |

| |given circuit. |

| |Outcome 3: |

| |Students will apply concepts of algebra in conjunction with network theorems to simplify and |

| |quantitatively analyze electronic circuits containing bipolar or field effect transistors. |

| |Students will apply concepts of algebra and complex algebra in conjunction with fundamental |

| |electronic laws to quantitatively analyze electronic circuits containing bipolar or field effect |

| |transistors. |

| |Students will be able to construct Bode plots to depict amplifier frequency response. |

| |amplifiers, Bode plots [14.2-14.3, notes supplied by instructor] |

| |Review and Exam III |

| |Review of op amp amplifier filters[17-1 to 17-6] |

| |Final Exam |

|Calculator Use: |Students are expected to own and know how to use a scientific calculator, such as the TI-85/86 or |

| |equivalent. |

|Computer Use: |Students are expected to use PSPICE for Windows, Electronics Workbench, or equivalent software, |

| |especially for calculating and presenting the frequency response of amplifiers as well as MOSFETS. |

| |EET 216 students should also be enrolled in the associated lab, EET 221.  EET 221 should be taught by|

| |the same instructor. |

|Course Assessment: |The following may be useful methods for assessing the success of this course in achieving the |

| |intended outcomes listed above: |

| |Outcomes 1&3: Traditional exams covering lecture material |

| |Outcomes 1&3: Assignment of quantitative design and analysis problems involving more complex |

| |applications of fundamental models |

| |Outcomes 1&3: Operational circuit analysis using circuit performance data |
