Course Objectives: The objective of this course is to introduce the students about the semiconductor devices. This course is to familiarize the students about the
transistor (BJT), FET and operational amplifier (OP-AMP). This course also familiarizes the students about the applications of operational amplifiers including
waveform generators, filter and data converter circuits.

Pedagogy for Course Delivery:

The course pedagogy will include four quadrant approach i.e. e-content, audio-visual aids, e-tutorial, supplementary material, discussion and explanation of concepts and
applications of the topics covered. The course would be covered under theory and laboratory. In addition to assigning small project–based learning, early
exposure to hands-on design to enhance the motivation among the students. It incorporates designing of problems, analysis of solutions submitted by the
student’s groups and how learning objectives were achieved. Continuous evaluation of the students would be covered under quiz, viva etc.
