COURSE OBJECTIVES: This course exposes students to the essentials of electronic technology and the rudiments of design so that they, as mechanical engineers, can understand the operation of basic electronic circuits in the field of controls and instrumentation. The course covers basic circuits, including linear and nonlinear circuit analysis, basic semiconductor electronic devices, and electronic systems, including digital and analog systems, and analog-digital interface circuits. The following applied knowledge and skills will be acquired upon completion of the course: Understanding the role and analysing the behaviour of various types of electronic circuits. Learning the tools and techniques, and laboratory equipment, for analysing the operation of electronic circuits. January 1, 2014 - 1/3 -

LABORATORY: The laboratory sessions provide the student with the opportunity to build and test a number of analog and digital circuits as well as to become familiar with basic electronic test equipment such as oscilloscopes, DVM's, counters, power supplies and curve tracers. In general, the experiments can only be completed within the allotted time if the student is prepared and organized. To ensure adequate participation by all students, lab groups are limited to a maximum of two students. Each group must submit one lab report on the following lab period. Attendance and participation in the lab will be verified by the lab instructor during each session. The lab manual is available on the Moodle course web-page. The experiments are: #1 Familiarization with Laboratory Equipment #2 Diodes and Power Supply #3 BJT Transistors #4 Operational Amplifiers and their Applications #5 Design of Modulo-4 Up/Down Synchronous Counter Week of January 6th is week #1. Week of January 13th is week #2. Commencement of labs is on week of January 20th (week #1). Commencement of tutorials is on week of January 13th (week #2). IV. GRADUATE ATTRIBUTES As you are progressing through this course, you will be learning and practicing attributes that engineering students shall achieve upon graduation. The following graduate attribute will be included in the course: Life-long learning: An ability to identify and to address their own educational needs in a changing world, sufficiently to maintain their competence and contribute to the advancement of knowledge. TEACHING Although the labs have stated objectives and the course lecture materials follow a syllabus, students must still read other textbooks and scientific publications to supplement, enhance and go-beyond their understanding of the subjects/materials with respect to the course content. This January 1, 2014 - 2/3 -

is the objective of an individuals life-long and self-learning process throughout ones engineering career and personal self. PRACTICE Some course material required for the labs may be covered in the course at a later time, but to progress and to understand the labs completely, students are required to read by themselves the relevant sections of the textbook and other scientific publications ahead of the class schedule. As well, by reading the course material ahead of time, students will have a better understanding when the course lectures are presented. Some selected course material will be left for self-study and will be included in the final exam. EVALUATION These aspects of the graduate attribute will be evaluated through the lab reports and examinations. As additional practice, when students come for questions during office hours, the student will explain their understanding of their questions instead of the course instructor simply reteaching the course material to the individual. V. GRADING: Assignments Mid Term #1 Mid Term #2 Lab Work Final Total

10 % 10 % 10 % 10 % 60 % 100 %

Mid-terms and final exam are closed book.

NOTE: - An incident report shall be filed for any homework or lab reports containing plagiarism. - All students must read and be familiar with Academic Integrity, Code of Conduct, and What is Plagiarism? These subjects can be found on the Concordia web-site. - Additional information can be found in Section 17.10 on pages 56-62 of the 2013-2014 Undergraduate Calendar. NOTE: - NO LATE assignments will be accepted beyond the date of submission, and a mark of zero will be given. Assignments submitted under my office door or in my mailbox will not be accepted. Assignments must be submitted in class. NOTE: - In order to achieve a passing grade in the course, the student must have a 50% passing grade on the combined two Mid Terms plus Final Examination. If the total grade in the three exams is less or equal to 25%, this will constitute a course repeat (R grade). - The student must also achieve a 50% passing grade on the Assignments, and a 50% passing grade on the Laboratory Work. - If a student misses any lab, this will constitute a grade of INC (incomplete). NOTE: - Only certain types of non-programmable calculators are permitted in ENCS midterms and final exams. Please have your calculators approved with an ENCS stamp. NOTE: - The possession of cell or smart phones is strictly prohibited during all exams.
