| Abstract Title: |
Contents or Discontents? Optimizing What Goes Into the Undergraduate Electronics Course |
| Abstract: |
The two-semester electronics sequence at Saint Mary's University of Minnesota explores mostly digital and microcontrollers electronics, but is this a suitable suite? What can students handle? What do they need today (for graduate school, for the job market)? The prerequisites are minimal (general physics II, which does basic Ohm's Law/Kirchhoff's Rules DC circuit analysis, and a tiny bit of RC); what more do they need from analog electronics (to ground future work and forestall a "black-box" mentality?) Finally, how can this sequence be better integrated into a coherent undergraduate physics program? |
