Introduces and develops basic bread-boarding techniques and circuit construction; acquaints the non-ECE student with measurements using voltmeters, ammeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, and signal generators; and demonstrates the practical use of some fundamental electronic devices in simple applications. Students use a computer software package to simulate the behavior of the devices and circuits, which have been constructed and tested in the laboratory exercises.

Fundamentals of solid-state electronic devices and the application of these devices to the design of digital circuits. Among the topics covered are MOS and bipolar junction transistors, logic gates and CMOS logic design. Focus is on the design of logic circuits through solving design-oriented problems and the design, implementation, and testing of logic circuits by means of computer simulation software. The course has an integrated laboratory and, in addition, contains a component designed to increase awareness of the dynamic nature of the field.

Introduction to design of Very Large Scale Integrated Circuits (VLSI), taught at the transistor level. Computer tools are used to create and simulate integrated circuit layouts. Levels of design automation covered include Full Custom layout, Schematic Driven layout, Standard Cells and fully automated synthesis of HDL code. Students are required to complete a project that can be submitted for fabrication.

Introduction to the design of CMOS analog integrated circuits (ICs), with occasional references to bipolar IC's to make comparisons. Students are required to complete the design of a reasonably complex IC and make a class presentation of its design methodology and simulation results.
