Course Objectives
After completing ME 462, all students should be able
to:
1) analyze and design
analog DC and AC circuits using resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes,
transistors and op-amps
2) analyze and design digital TTL circuits
3) build and trouble-shoot analog and digital circuits connected to single
chip microcontrollers using prototype wiring and printed circuit board layout
4) interface common transducers and actuators to microcontrollers
5) filter, digitize and analyze electronic signals using analog
anti-aliasing filters, A/D converters, FFT and digital filters
6) understand and connect computer peripherals using standard interfaces (RS-232,
IEEE 488, USB)
7) communicate well using verbal, written and electronic methods
