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 non-linear 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 anal ysing the behaviour of various types of electronic ele ctronic circuits. Learning the tools and techniques, and laboratory equipment, for analysing the operation of electronic circuits.

III. 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 three (3) 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. Every student must sign the “LAB ATTENDANCE SHEET”; this is to verify that you have performed the lab. 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 The lab manual is available on the Moodle course web-page. th

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: "Problem analysis: An ability to use appropriate knowledge and skills to identify, analyze, and solve complex engineering problems in order to reach substantiated conclusions." TEACHING – Mechanical engineering students consider that electronics and digital systems are out of discipline studies which belong to electrical engineering. Today's mechanical engineers is required to be multidisciplinary, needing basic fundamental knowledge and practice to communicate with electrical and computer science engineers and technical personnel with respect to analog and digital electronics, microprocessors and software programming. The objective of the course is to provide basic understanding and knowledge of analog and digital electronics to mechanical engineering students for their ability to communic ate and interact. PRACTICE – Problems and practices given in the assignments and labs will involve significantly the activities and practical tools as required to learn the fundamentals of electronics. EVALUATION – These aspects of the graduate attribute will be evaluated through the assignments, lab reports and examinations. In particular, the two Mid-Terms and Final Exam grades will be used as assessment and reporting of this graduate attribute with respect to nonmechanical engineering "problem identification and formulation" through electronics problem analysis and solving, where the student will: Read and understand the problem Answer the questions: What information is given? What information is missing? Identify unknowns, ambiguities, and assumptions Describe given facts and inputs of the problem Clearly describe the requirements of the solution Describe in general yet clear terms what a solution would look like • • • • • •

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 at: http://www.concordia.ca/students/academic-integrity.html - Additional information can be found in Section 17.10 on pages 56-62 of the 20142015 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, or by email, 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.
"In the event of extraordinary circumstances beyond the University's control, the content and/or evaluation scheme in this course is subject to change".
