Learn foundational concepts of electronics, including conductors, insulators, and schematic symbols in this first week of the DC Electronics course.
In this intro course, you'll dive into the basics of electronics, exploring how electricity works, what makes it tick, and some cool terms like conductors and insulators. You'll also peek into schematic diagrams. Perfect for curious minds wanting to grasp how electronics come together!
Intro to Electronics: Learn about bonding, conductors, insulators, terminology & schematic symbols (Semester 1, Week 1)
The course:
This course is Week One of an Eight Week section titled "DC Electronics", which is the first semester of an eight semester program.
The main topics for this course are:
1. Starting at the atomic level, or, why we need to understand how electricity and electronics are driven by electrons.
2. The three things that make electronics work:
......Conductors
......Insulators
......Semiconductors
3. What is electrical/electronic current?
4. Intro to basic circuit terminology.
5. Overview of many schematic symbols
The Semester: (This course is week 1 of this eight week semester.)
These are the classes for this eight week semester:
1. Direct Current at the Molecular Level (This class)
2. Electrical Units; Volts, Ohms, Amps and Watts
3. Measuring Equipment
4. Basic DC Circuits; Voltage, Current, Resistance and Power
5. DC Circuit Analysis; Kirchhoff's Laws; Determining Resistance, Voltage, Current and Power in Series and Parallel Resistive Circuits
6. Resistors, Potentiometers, and Rheostats
7. Cells and Batteries
8. Magnetism and Magnetic Devices; Selonoids and DC Motors
The Program:
This course is part of the first semester, DC Electronics. Future semesters will include AC Electronics, Solid State Electronics (Transistors, FETs, MOSFETs and JFETs), Transistor and OpAmp theory, Communications Theory and Digital Electronics.
You will be able to identify atoms as conductors, semiconductors or insulators.
You will know why electrical current is the flow of free electrons.
You will be introduced to schematic diagrams and and many schematic symbols, and be able to identify several schematic symbols.

Excelente curso dinámico y
what kind kind of POS introduction? give me a real thing not 20 minutes wasted on atomic theory. dont waste your time dont buy it
I know more about atoms than I thought I would! The teacher speaks at a pace I can keep up with but not be bored by.
Great class, I would continue with this Instructor. If S1W2 was available
To be fair I don’t know enough about electronics to rate this... That being said I felt I learned something so far and enjoyed doing it my only comment would be presentation was just a bit lacking otherwise I’m happy with the purchase. Thank you for your time
I really liked listening to the professor and he did explain things really well.
On the first lecture, section 1, there is two resources that is not in PDF when downloaded. I have tried also to fond the Editor when we clic, but nothing is working as per instructions.
Is it possible to get those two documents in PDFs ?
Hope this will not be the same on the other lecture of this course.

He is very understandable and speaks to you plainly and explains what you need to know in very detailed steps. He is an Awesome Teacher, I wish I could have attended one of his classes in person.
Having a great time learning !

I was expecting more structured lessons, not a fan of a teacher (mostly) reading a powerpoint presentation... I mean surely it's a knowledgable person, but I was looking for something with more depth. Also the music... deminishes the seriousness of the presentation.
