  • The third part of the 6.002x has truly got my keenness. It expands upon material canvassed to some extent in section 1 (6.002.1x) and section 2 (6.002.2x), which independent from anyone else are extraordinary courses. All the course material, i.e. manuals, Videos, Practice Problems, Homework and so forth are of magnificent quality. The free Textbook furnished with the course "Establishments of Analog and Digital Electronic Circuits", co-wrote by one of the course teachers, Dr. Anant Agarwal, gives decent perusing material. All credit goes to the educators. The course accentuates on genuine applications.

  • This course is amazing. The instructor is extremely captivating, able and clever. All subject material is altogether taken from fundamental physical standards. This makes the material simple to understand and proceed. The exams are testing and in this way give idealize rehearsal tasks. To put it precisely, in the event that you are keen on hardware then do not delay and take this course.

Course programme

Want to learn how your radio works? Wondering how to implement filters using resistors, inductors, and capacitors? Wondering what are some other applications of RLC and CMOS circuits? This free circuit course, taught by edX CEO and MIT Professor Anant Agarwal and MIT colleagues, is for you. The third and final online Circuits and Electronics courses is taken by all MITElectrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) majors. Topics covered include: dynamics of capacitor, inductor and resistor networks; design in the time and frequency domains; op-amps, and analog and digital circuits and applications. Design and lab exercises are also significant components of the course. Weekly coursework includes interactive video sequences, readings from the textbook, homework, online laboratories, and optional tutorials. The course will also have a final exam. This a self-paced course, so there are no weekly deadlines. However, all assignments are due by May 12, 2016, when the course will close. Student Testimonials “Brilliant course! It's definitely the best introduction to electronics in Universe! Interesting material, clean explanations, well prepared quizzes, challenging homeworks and fun labs.” - Ilya. “6.002x will be a classic in the field of online learning. It combines Prof. Agarwal's enthusiasm for electronics and education. The online circuit design program works very well. The material is difficult. I took the knowledge from the class and built an electronic cat feeder.” - Stan

What you'll learn
  • How to construct and analyze filters using capacitors and inductors.
  • How to use intuition to describe the approximate time and frequency behavior of second-order circuits containing energy storage elements (capacitors and inductors).
  • The relationship between the mathematical representation of first-order circuit behavior and corresponding real-life effects.
  • Circuits applications using op-amps.
  • Measurement of circuit variables using tools such as virtual oscilloscopes, virtual multimeters, and virtual signal generators.
  • How to compare the measurements with the behavior predicted by mathematical models and explain the discrepancies.
