Oxford University Online Introduction to Electronics Short Course

Based upon our popular 2-day Overview of Electronics course, this new online course will introduce you to the basic ideas behind electronic circuits.

Location: Online
Date: 10/5/2009 - 12/11/2009
Organizer: Oxford University Department for Continuing Education

The course will consist of ten units each of which will require around 5 - 10 hours of study depending on your level of knowledge.

The course is designed to act both as an introductory course and as a refresher course. After taking the course you should have a good idea of how electronic systems work and how they are made. In particular, the course focuses on the design of a Hi-Fi amplifier. The course is limited to "analogue electronics" where signals are represented by continuously variable voltages and will not cover "digital electronics" where signals are represented by discrete numbers.

Students should normally have a reasonable proficiency in school Maths and Science. Study to GCSE-level is sufficient for most of the course, though study to A-level will enable a full understanding of the more advanced topics.

Electronics Fundamentals, provided for delegates

Students on the course will be supplied with a copy of T L Floyd's "Electronics Fundamentals". This will be used for directed reading, assignments and further study. It also serves as a useful reference source.
