Skip live lectures2. Don’t put adequate effort into HW assignments–Do it at the last minute–Rely too much on collaboration3. Don’t attend discussion sections4. Don’t turn in the Lab reports5. Don’t review HW solutions, old/sample exams and solutionsEE105 Fall 2011 Course Overview, Slide 12 Instructor: SalahuddinMiscellaneous•Special accommodations:–Students may request accommodation of religious creed, disabilities, and other special circumstances. Please make an appointment to discuss your request, in advance.•Academic (dis)honesty–Departmental policy will be strictly followed•Cheating on an exam will result in an “F” course grade.–Collaboration (not cheating!) is encouraged•Homework should be done individually.•Classroom etiquette:–Arrive in class on time! –Bring your own copy of the lecture notes.EE105 Fall 2011 Course Overview, Slide 13 Instructor: SalahuddinScheduleMon Tues Wed Thurs Fri9.00 Discussion6Lab6Lab810.0011.0012.00 Lab231.00 SS Office Hours SS Office Hours2.00 Discussion223.00Lecture Lecture4.00 Discussion95.00IntroductionEE105 Fall 2011 Course Overview, Slide 15 Instructor: SalahuddinLee De Forest, 1906Early History of IC Devices1940’s: Vacuum-tube era–Vacuum tubes were used for radios, television, telephone equipment, and computers… but they were expensive, bulky, fragile, and energy-hungryNobel Prize in Physics 1956 Invention of the bipolar junction transistor (BJT)▪ William Shockley, Bell Labs, 1950– more stable and reliable; easier and cheaper to make – reproducibility was an issue, however Invention of the point-contact transistor▪ Walter Brattain, John Bardeen, and William Shockley, Bell Labs, 1947ENIAC-The first digital computerEE105 Fall 2011 Course Overview, Slide 16 Instructor: SalahuddinDiscrete Electronic Circuits•In 1954, Texas Instruments produced the first commercial silicon transistor.•Before the invention of the integrated circuit, electronic equipment was composed of discrete components such as transistors, resistors, and capacitors. These components, often simply called “discretes”, were manufactured separately and were wired or soldered together onto circuit boards. Discretes took up a lot of room and were expensive and cumbersome to assemble, so engineers began, in the mid-1950s, to search for a simpler approach…~$2.50 eachEE105 Fall 2011 Course Overview,
