Course description and aims

All mechanical systems such as automobiles, aircraft, rockets, robots, information equipment, and medical equipment are integrated systems of mechanical engineering, electrical/electronic engineering, and information engineering.
This course teaches students the electrical and electronic engineering fundamentals necessary for designing, prototyping, measuring, and controlling mechanical systems.
1) Analog circuits (fundamental laws, resistors, inductors, capacitors, power supply, transient analyses, AC circuits, filters, amplifiers)
2) Digital circuits (logic circuits, microcomputers)
3) Semiconductor devices (diode, FET, BJT)
4) Applications (motors, power electronics, batteries, microcomputers)

Student learning outcomes

To acquire the basic knowledge required to research and develop mechanical systems in cooperation with electrical, electronic, and information engineers. By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Understand and explain the fundamentals of analog circuits.
2) Understand and explain the fundamentals of digital circuits.
3) Understand and explain the fundamentals of semiconductor devices.
4) Understand and explain the application of electric and electronic circuits.

Keywords

analog circuits, digital circuits, magnetic circuits, op-amp, digital controller,

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

The lecture's main points will be presented on the board and in PowerPoint, and a quiz will be given to confirm the basics.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.

Textbook(s)

Lecture materials are distributed electronically each time.

Reference books, course materials, etc.

This lecture will be conducted with "Electrical Engineering: Principles & Applications, Global Edition, 7th edition, Pearson".

Assessment criteria and methods

Evaluation by quiz and final exam. The score distribution is 30:70.

Prerequisites (i.e., required knowledge, skills, courses, etc.)

This course is a replacement for the former MEC.N231.L "Fundamentals of Electronics.
Students already earning "Fundamentals of Electronics" credits cannot take this course.
If a student who entered before March 31, 2023 (~22B) earns credits for this course, the credits will be converted to two L (elective) credits.
