Course Overview
This course focuses on electronics as it applies to measurement and feedback control systems. The first half of this course involves the analysis and design of common operational amplifier (op-amp) circuits and examines the op-amp's non-ideal characteristics in terms of circuit performance. The second half of this course will engage students in studying the behaviour of first- and second-order systems.

Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:
- Demonstrate the use of LabVIEW for measurement and control of simple electronic circuit systems.
- Explain the meaning and effects of both positive and negative feedback.
- Design common op-amp circuits used in measurement and feedback control systems.
- Identify the essential non-ideal characteristics of an op-amp.
- Evaluate the performance of common op-amp circuits used in measurement and feedback control systems.
- Analyze 1st and 2nd order systems in both the time- and s-domains with the Laplace transform.
- Solve 1st and 2nd order systems using Matlab, with a focus on active Butterworth filters.
- Evaluate the performance of active filters.
- Work safely with integrated circuits in a laboratory and adhere to practices to prevent damage to components due to electro-static discharge.
