This course explores discrete circuit elements as well as common analog and digital circuits. We will use a combination of analytical theory, simulation, and hardware to understand both physical mechanisms and design constraints in electronics. Every student undertakes a significant final project. Electronics emphasizes growth via failure and perseverance, as iterative work and troubleshooting are core aspects of the course. 1 unit.
