Course Description
This Introduction to Electronic Components course is intended for those interested in learning electronics. The course introduces students to the concept of electronic components, their uses, and how they work within an electrical system. The electronics industry has been skyrocketing over the last few years as more and more people are using electrical appliances for their everyday needs. It is so important to know the basics of how these components work, as they are a necessity in modern society. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you understand what electronic components are, what they do, and how they function.
Electronic components are the building blocks of any electronic device, and they come in a wide range of sizes and shapes. These videos will walk you through some basic information about electronics so you know how to identify and use these building blocks. Practical examples are also added.
Why You Should Take This Course?
Learn how to read circuit diagrams.
Learn how to solder.
Identify parts on an electronic schematic diagram.
Become familiar with the most commonly used electronic components.
This course will give you everything you need to start playing with electronics components and fix electronic devices. It is designed so that you can quickly get started without having to spend months of your time learning lots of irrelevant information. It covers all of the basics, so even if you never plan on getting any further than this one course, you'll still learn more than enough. You will learn how to take care of the small components that are inside your electronics.

What Students Are Saying:
"This is a nice introduction course to those who would like to learn the basics of electronics." - André Stenberg
"It's covering the topic and establishing the basics very well." - Mike Mackley
"Great course for beginning in electronics, especially enjoyed the water analogy part to make learning easier." - Sunil Thakur
"Clear and Simple, and that is so nice :)" - Qays Qaysaneah
Topics Covered:
The Components of Electricity
Volt-Ohm-Meter Basics (Measuring Electricity)
Circuit Diagrams Basics (Electronic Roadmaps)
The Resistor
Ohm’s Law
The Capacitor
The Inductor
The Diode
The Transistor (Electronic Valves)
In this Introduction to Electronic Components Course, we will begin by discussing the three components that make up electricity. Next, we will spend more extensive time on how to measure the three components of electricity. During this section, we will explore two of the three components (voltage and current). This section will cover VOM basics and allow you to become familiar with the most important and most basic piece of test equipment.
In the next section, Circuit diagrams section, you will learn how to use electronic component symbols on an electronic road map called a schematic or circuit diagram. Many of the symbols will represent new concepts for many of you, and these concepts will be fully developed once we finish the section. As a result, you will develop the fundamentals of interpreting circuit diagrams so that these illustrations of the arrangement of electronic components can help you with the remainder of the course.
The final of the three components, resistors, will be covered next. How the three components are related mathematically is Ohm’s Law, and this fundamental law will be covered in detail. These sections make up the basic, basic material of electronics.
Four additional components common to virtually all electronic circuits are the capacitor, inductor, diode, and transistor. I will cover these topics with a level of detail that will familiarize the audience with the function of these components and the basics of how they work and react in different situations. There are text reading assignments for each section of the course.
What You Will Learn
Understand the basics of electricity and electronic components.
Read and interpret circuit diagrams.
Solder and handle electronic components.

its very hard to understand, this fellas accent is very strong, not even the transcript or captioning can figure it out. the first video of water, pressure and friction was very long winded, 5 minutes with one drawing.
By Ryan Flagg on 12/1/2020
It's extremely hard to understand, considering he doesn't speak fluent English. Ashard gets words and numbers mixed up, which leads to a lot of confusion.
By Shiny G Deborah Samuel Devasudar on 6/26/2020
Simple yet detailed information with real time example.

Very nice experience, I hope to repeat it in advanced courses
By Julio Morales on 2/14/2019
Good course, but it would be better if the videos were more hands on. They tell you to to try things on a breadboard, probably should have a list of required materials for this course. Would have liked to see them try out things on the breadboard and not merely suggest that you do them on their power point.

Fue una buena elección elegir este curso, excelente la explicación...

Great course for beginning in electronics, especially enjoyed the water analogy part to make learning easier.
By Ma Sofia Rivas Romero on 1/15/2018
Es demasiado pronto para evaluar el curso y hasta ahora son los conceptos básicos, me gustaría que se mostrará como se puede identificar las corrientes y los componentes básicos de voltaje, electrones y resistencia con ejemplos prácticos y el uso de multimetros y voltimetros
By Jerami Forget on 1/30/2017
I think the material is good and covers a lot of ground quickly but there are a lot of useful details left out and the presentation lacks polish
