Course Description

The course covers basic principles and theories of semiconductor devices such as diodes and transistors. It also deals with the applications
AC analysis of bipolar junction and field effect transistors, transistor amplifiers and switches are also included. Focuses on the fundament
networks.

COURSE OUTCOMES (CO)

By the end of the semester, students should be able to: Alignment to Program Outcomes

CO1: analyze operations and applications of semiconductor
diodes.
CO2: analyze the construction, characteristics and operations
of BJT and FET in dc circuits
CO3: Construct and design a power supply
The student outputs in this course are demonstrative of the achievement o
[PO1] ability to apply knowledge of mathematics and science
problems
[PO3] ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired
such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health
sustainability, in accordance with standards
[PO4] ability to identify, formulate, and solve electronic engineering problem
[PO11] ability to use techniques, skills, and modern engineerin
engineering practice

ASSESSMENT OF OUTCOMES
As evidence of having achieved the outcomes, students must produce quality outputs and/or carry out tasks successfully.
Formative Summative (Rubric-Based)
For CO1- CO3: For CO1- CO2: Final Exam (Written)
SeatWorks, HomeWorks, Long Quizzes For CO3: Design Project

Assessment Rubrics (See Annex 1)

Output/Performance Rubric No. & Title

Grading System
The students grade for the course is computed based on both formative and summative assessment data. The computation is detailed below.
Grade Component Weight Computation
SW, HW, Edmodo Activities (CS) (20%) Midterm Grade = (CS*0.20) + (LQ*0.50) +(EX*0.30)
Long Quizzes, Design Project (LQ) (50%) Final Grade = (CS*0.20) + (LQ*0.50) +(EX*0.30)
Major Exams (Midterm/Finals)(EX) (30%)
Overall Grade:
Midterm Grade x 0.40
Final Grade x 0.60
Total Grade Passing Grade: 3.0
