Class description

This course is intended to give Aeronautics and Astronautics majors both analytical and practice-oriented tools for understanding electronic circuits for aerospace engineering. Topics covered include Ohm's law, Kirchoff's Laws, DC and AC circuits, op-amps, digital circuits, and data acquisition. Specific systems for structure and flow measurements, e.g., strain gages, pressure and temperature sensors, and A-D and D-A converters, will be used to demonstrate the applications of the electronics tools.
