Welcome, everyone! Today, we will be discussing our course, Analog Electronic Circuits. This course is designed for undergraduate students primarily, but it also provides great opportunities for those in advanced studies or professionals wishing to refresh their knowledge. Can anyone share what they expect to learn from this course?
I hope to learn both the theoretical and practical aspects of electronic circuits.
I'm particularly interested in how the theory relates to the actual circuit design in the lab.
Great! We will certainly blend those two aspects. We want you to not just memorize theory but apply it in real circuits. Remember the mnemonic 'A-P-R' for 'Analyze, Practice, Reflect'βwhich we will use throughout the course. This will ensure you take time to analyze circuits, practice building them, and reflect on the outcomes of your experiments.
What kind of circuits will we start with?
We will kick off with basic components and circuit concepts. Then, we will progressively tackle practical circuits that are essential for mastering analog electronics. Are there any other questions about the course setup?

Now, let's dive deeper into the target audience for this course. Who do you think should take this course and why?
I think it's mainly for undergraduate students, but also for people who have worked in the industry for a few years.
Exactly! It's primarily aimed at undergraduate students in electronics, but it's also great for those advancing to Master's or working professionals needing a refresher.
What does 'refresher' mean in this context?
A refresher course helps individuals rekindle their existing knowledge and skills that might have faded over time. It reinforces concepts and provides updated practices they've missed. Think of it like reviewing your driving rules before hitting the road again!

Letβs discuss how this course is structured. Weβll start with the basic components and electronic circuit theories; from there, we gradually move to advanced topics. How do you think learning about components first will benefit your study of circuits?
Understanding the basics should help me grasp the complex circuits later.
Yes, if we know what each component does, we can better understand how they work together!
Absolutely! You can remember this with the acronym 'B-C-A' for 'Basics, Components, Applications.' It's crucial to build on a strong foundation to effectively analyze and apply analog electronic principles.
How will we apply what we learn in labs?
Good question! You will construct circuits that you'll analyze in practice, and each activity is matched with corresponding theory you'll learn. This ensures you build confidence as you see theory and practice come together.

This course it has been primarily designed as core course, and explicitly for UG level students. However, this course can also be used as refresher course, particularly for those students who has gone through the UG level before and now in mastered levels or the designer who were working in industry and they like to look back the theory and correlate whatever their day to daysβ performance or day to daysβ circuits they do design.
The course on Analog Electronic Circuits is primarily aimed at undergraduate (UG) level students, meaning it is designed for those who are currently studying at the undergraduate level in electronic engineering or related fields. However, it is also useful for individuals who have already completed their undergraduate studies. These individuals might be pursuing a master's degree or are professionals working in the industry. The course serves as a refresher, allowing them to review and relate theoretical concepts to practical experiences and designs they encounter in their work.
Think of a university course like a gym membership. Undergraduates are like those just starting their fitness journey, learning how to exercise and maintain a healthy body. Meanwhile, graduates or industry professionals are like experienced gym-goers who return occasionally for refresher workouts to ensure they stay fit and refine their techniques while also possibly learning new fitness trends. The course offers both foundational knowledge and advanced insights tailored for different levels of experience.

The flow of this course we shall start with basic components, circuit components and course circuit concepts. And gradually we will be moving to practical circuits, which are essential parts of analog electronic systems.
The structure of the course is designed to build understanding in a logical progression. It begins with fundamental elements, such as basic components and essential circuit concepts, which are the building blocks of electronic circuits. After mastering these fundamentals, the course transitions into practical applications, focusing on real-world circuits that are vital in analog electronic systems. This gradual approach helps students develop a deep comprehension of how theoretical concepts are applied in practice.
Imagine learning to cook. You wouldnβt start with a complicated recipe; instead, you first learn about basic ingredients and cooking techniques. Once you understand how to chop vegetables and boil water, you can start making more complex dishes. Similarly, this course starts with basic electronic components and concepts before moving to practical and more complex circuits.

While we have planned this course intentionally we made some emphasis, so that we can make a good balance between theory and practices.
A key aim of the course is to strike a balance between theoretical knowledge and practical application. This means that while students learn the underlying theories that form the foundation of analog electronics, they will also engage with hands-on experiences where they can apply what they learn. This combination promotes better understanding and retention of information, as students see how theory operates in real-life scenarios.
Think of it like learning to ride a bike. You can read all the books about bicycle mechanics and balancing, but until you actually ride the bike, you wonβt truly understand how it feels. This course is designed to provide both the 'reading' (theory) and the 'riding' (practice) to ensure students gain a comprehensive understanding of analog electronics.

We are going to discuss the both BJT and MOS based circuit simultaneously; so that you can get a similarity of those circuits as well as you can find the differences.
In this course, there will be a focus on both Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) and Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET) circuits. The aim of studying both types of circuits concurrently is to help students identify the similarities and differences between them. This will enhance their understanding of how each type operates under various conditions and when to use one over the other in practical applications.
Consider studying different types of musical instruments. If you learn about both guitars and pianos at the same time, you can better appreciate their unique sounds as well as the techniques required to play them. Similarly, learning about BJT and MOSFET circuits side by side allows students to understand how they function in different scenarios and what advantages each may offer.
