*Electronics – Level I Can you read a discrete component electronic schematic? Could you designa feedback regulated linear power supply? If not, then come out and takepart in this exciting new course. This hands-on, experiment-oriented coursebegins with the basics and progresses to advanced topics with minimalmath emphasis. This course is geared to enable individuals to continuebuilding enhanced electronic circuits and develop their design know-howwhile working at a casual pace.

Students will learn about active filters, multistage power amplifiers, voltagecontrolled oscillators, Schmitt triggers, thyristors and more by constructingdiscrete device and op-amp circuits from scratch. Throughout the creationof these projects, students will develop troubleshooting skills by workingwith test and measurement equipment such as bench lab power supplies,function generators, analog and digital oscilloscopes.

In addition to prototyping working circuits on breadboards, students willdevelop hardware assembly expertise by soldering, testing andtroubleshooting a simple functional digital test instrument.

As we wrap up 2017 and move into the new year of 2018, we arepleased to provide our members with a significant number ofexciting courses. We recognize that in order to keep pace withthe ever changing and evolving technologies directly andindirectly related to our industry, we must keep pace within theEducation and Training department. In 2018 we plan to work ondeveloping new courses and update existing courses to give themembers the best learning experiences possible.

As members, education and training belongs to YOU, so I wouldencourage each of you to participate by taking a course orseminar in 2018, especially if you have not done so before. Notonly is it a formal learning experience, but you will be able to

network with your Brothers and Sisters. The exchange ofinformation and learning is not just restricted to the classroom.

In closing, I look forward to an exciting year ahead and amprivileged to be your Director of Education and Training.

Inventing with ProgrammableMicrochipsHave you noticed how many devices are programmable in our modernsociety? Have you ever wondered what acts as the brains of these devices?If you are curious about microchips and want to learn how to program themthen this is the course for you.

A microchip is a circuit board mounted device without the infrastructure toswitch large loads or handle signals over 5Vdc. What that means is you getto design your own control architecture from scratch and learn somefundamental lessons in the process. The delivery of this course is 100%hands on - you build, program and debug your own circuits. As well asfollowing a textbook, you will learn where all of the great on-line resourcesare to assist you with developing projects.

Some of the devices we will learn to interface are stepper motors, servos,LEDs, photo resistors and other analog devices. This course is intended tobe an eye opener to those without any programming or electronicsknowledge, and fun and challenging to individuals who already know a fewprogramming languages.
