Practical Electronics: Course Description
Developed as an interdisciplinary special program by Dr. James Bales, the 'Practical Electronics' MIT OpenCourseWare teaches students basic principles and techniques that can be used to build various electronic devices, including light- or sound-activated toys, remote controls, simple appliances, clocks, timers and motorized devices. Lecture notes cover fundamental topics, such as resistors, diodes, switches, rectifiers, function generators, capacitors, RC circuits, relays, transistors, op-amps, flip-flops and the 555 timer circuit. Students will study fundamental theories of electronics, including Ohm's law, Kirchoff's voltage and current laws and more. No prior electronics experience is necessary.
The free OpenCourseWare includes a list of recommended texts, lecture notes, assignments, an image gallery from labs and lectures and videos of completed students projects. To download the course materials or to learn more, visit the practical electronics course web page.
