One Course Summer Institute - ELECTRONICS FOR EVERYONE

Have you ever wanted to learn how electronic devices work as well as creating and building your own? In this course, you'll get to explore the creative side of science through experimentation with, and creation of, simple electronic devices such as radios, electronic musical instruments, and medical monitoring devices. You will read relevant papers and discuss both physical principles and the impact of technology on society. Although prior experience with physics and math is useful, it is not a requirement for this course. Labs and activities will allow students to: collaborate with the professor and classmates to identify projects of interest for the course translate theory into practice by creating working electronic devices break some electronics in a controlled environment along the way to learn what doesn’t work as well as discovering the science behind the electronics discuss ethical issues of science and technology in the world and how inventions impact society. What students take away for high school and college work: a working knowledge of how electronic circuits function and how to read and write circuit diagrams an understanding of what role electronics play in society now and the future experience collaborating with others to solve practical problems ideas of how electronics may play a part in future projects or inspire further study.
