COURSE DESCRIPTION        :

This course teaches the basic principles of applied Electronics required by practically oriented PC technicians. It immerses students in a basic Analog and Digital Electronics knowledge base that will enable them to test and repair a modern computer system and its associated peripherals. This course equips students to work in computer maintenance and repair in the private, commercial and industrial sectors.

GOAL

The goal of this course is to provide each student with enough applied theoretical knowledge and practical working skills in Electronics to competently work on computers and computer related equipment at the Industry Standard Service Level in Barbados, the Caribbean and further afield.

This course seeks to familiarise the student with the fundamental concepts and applications of Electronics.  The following topics are covered thoroughly: The common emitter amplifier using NPN and PNP bipolar junction transistors- thermal runaway, D.C stabilization, biasing, cut off and saturation, ac operation, coupling, decoupling, bandwidth, R-C coupled amplifier, the load line, transformer coupling, power dissipation. Common base and common collector amplifiers. Photoelectric devices. Field-effect transistors. Diode and Thyristor characteristics. R-C filters, clippers and clampers. IF amplifiers, power amplifiers. Feedback in amplifiers. The operational amplifier. Multi-vibrators and timers. Oscillators. Integrated circuits.

This course introduce students to the Engineering Science concepts of Units, Forces, Stress and Moments through calculations. Students will be provided with  a sound knowledge of Units, Forces Stress and Moments which would allow them to carry out basic calculations and have an understanding of how these calculations can be apply to mechanical maintenance work.
