STUDENT LEARNING
OBJECTIVES:
As a result of meeting the requirements in this
course, students will be able to:1.Recognize and
understand how
basic diodes, transistors and logic gates function.
2. Read and understand circuit diagrams that
include diodes and transistors as circuit
elements.
3. Draw circuit diagrams including diodes and
transistors using the Multisim or equivalent
computer program.
4. Develop physical measurements on diodes
and transistors using
physical lab equipment.
5. Apply mathematical functions

Civility/Classroom Conduct
As a college of choice, Bergen Community College provides a comfort level that enables
students of all abilities to mature as learners and engaged citizens. Therefore, it is important that
this class provide a stimulating, rigorous, and inclusive learning environment. To that end,
students must demonstrate respect to others and to ideas and opinions expressed in the class.
Use of cell phones and laptops is prohibited, unless special permission is granted. Anyone not
following these standard procedures may be asked to remove him/herself from the class.
Services for Students with Disabilities:
A wide variety of services are available for students with documented disabilities through the
Office of Special Services (OSS) [Room S – 131, (201) 612-5270]. OSS is dedicated to serving
students with physical, visual, learning, hearing, and emotional disabilities. If a student has been
classified in high school or had a 504 plan, it is highly recommended that the student contact
OSS during the college application process. A more detailed explanation can be found on the
College web site,www.bergen.edu. Personal information is kept confidential. Examples of the
types of accommodations and services include: Extended test taking time Organizational
strategies.
