The course ECEN 101: Basic Electronics introduces students to the fundamental principles, components, and applications of electronics. It provides a strong foundation in understanding electrical quantities, circuit laws, and the behavior of passive and active components such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, and power supplies. Students will engage in both theoretical discussions and hands-on laboratory activities to bridge concepts with practical applications.
Guided by the Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) framework, this syllabus aligns course objectives with the Vision, Mission, Goals, and Objectives (VMGO) of the institution, as well as the program outcomes expected of Electronics Engineering students. The course outcomes are strategically mapped to develop the students’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes in analyzing, designing, and constructing basic electronic circuits.
By the end of the course, students are expected to demonstrate competence in applying Ohm’s Law, Watt’s Law, and Kirchhoff’s Laws, constructing series, parallel, and series-parallel circuits, and utilizing essential laboratory instruments such as the multimeter and power supply. Furthermore, they will cultivate problem-solving, teamwork, and lifelong learning skills that are vital for their progression into advanced electronics and engineering courses.
