COURSE OBJECTIVEAlthough many can benefit, three specific groups are targeted with the following goals.
• Provide a practicing Professional Engineer (PE) with the information or refresher on electronics and provide for the engineer assigned to a related job with the minimum knowledge to properly evaluate the design and testing of a system.
• Provide a practicing Engineer with the requisite knowledge to adequately review and analyze designs and testing for compliance with goals and requirements.
• Provide a licensed Electrician with an understanding to be able to assess impacts on systems for installation or design changes, troubleshooting, and proper safe operation.
Focus will be on the basics of knowledge given that truly understanding the basics helps in maintaining necessary skills, along with the ability to accomplish tasks competently and confidently.
A list of references will allow one to commence an exploration of items new to the field. All the best.
