Module EC-19
Introduction to Electronics, Design and Making
The first afternoon. What electronic systems are for and the five blocks every one of them is built from, how a vague need becomes a requirement somebody could test, how to read a schematic and find the parts on it, how to use a breadboard, a soldering iron and a meter without hurting yourself, and one full design cycle run on something small enough to finish.
