    This credit designation enables students to maximize the amount of credits they can earn for what they already know. College-designated subject matter experts evaluate the college-level knowledge and skills an individual has gained outside of the classroom for college credit. This evaluation is called Prior Learning Assessment (PLA). Prior Learning is learning gained in a variety of settings and through formal and non-formal means, including but not limited to: apprenticeship, workplace training, professional certifications, military training and service. Prerequisite:    New students should complete Placement Testing prior to registration; Visiting students may submit college transcript

    This course utilizes an integrated approach to learning. A topic will be introduced and discussed, developed into a practical circuit, analyzed for faults, and evaluated with a prelab using a commonly accepted software package. The circuits are built, tested and reported in the lab experiments. The course covers basic semiconductor theory, Diode theory, Zener diodes, special use diodes and LEDs. Biopolar transistors to include biasing, D.C. load lines, transistor operation and data sheets are discussed. Power supply circuits and transistor amplifiers are analyzed. Experiments are performed in conjunction with all major topics to reinforce theory. Prerequisite:    TEL 101

    This covers the basics of microprocessor architecture and programming. Technical terms and conventions, program execution and addressing modes, and computer arithmetic and logical operations are covered in detail. Intel's 8085 microprocessor is used to illustrate programming and architecture concepts incorporated in Intel's more advanced microprocessors. Programming exercises are performed on the Hewlett Packard trainer in weekly 2 hour lab sessions. Prerequisite:    TEL 101 and TEL 121* (*Course(s) May Be Taken Concurrently)
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course is a continuation of the study of microprocessors. Hardware and software concepts covered in Microprocessors I (TEL 124) are integrated into a study of the interfacing of various I/O devices. Hardware and software experiments are performed using the Hewlett-Packard trainer. Prerequisite:    TEL 124
  • 3.00 Credits

    The fundamentals of various components used in microcomputer systems and their hardware/software support are discussed. Methods of determining system faults at the system, unit, board and component levels are studied. Typical computer/digital systems and test equipment are introduced in the weekly laboratory session.
