Semiconductor Devices: Theory and Application
No full textThe goal of this text/ as its name implies/ is to allow the reader to become proficient in the analysis and design of circuits utilizing discrete semiconductor devices. It progresses from basic diodes through bipolar and field effect transistors. The text is intended for use in a first or second year course on semiconductors at the Associate or Baccalaureate level. In order to make effective use of this text/ students should have already taken coursework in basic DC and AC circuits/ and have a solid background in algebra and trigonometry along with exposure to phasors. Calculus is used in certain sections of the text but for the most part it is used for equation derivations and proofs/ and is kept to a minimum. For students without a calculus background these sections may be skipped without a loss of continuity. There is also a lab manual for this textbook.https://mds.marshall.edu/oa-textbooks/1495/thumbnail.jp

Corporate Governance
No full textThis course takes an interdisciplinary approach to ethics in business and provides modules in Ethical Leadership/ Ethical Decision-Making/ Social Responsibility/ and Corporate Governance. Students will actively study ethical theory by carrying out exercises to help them build theory-based tools for encountering ethical problems in business practice. They will also work with cases in business ethics designed to give them practice in developing skills of ethical leadership/ ethical decision-making/ and carrying out socio-technical analyses to respond to issues of social responsibility. This course will culminate in an Ethics Bowl competition in which students will practice ethics advocacy in a variety of organizational contexts in business.https://mds.marshall.edu/oa-textbooks/1506/thumbnail.jp
Implementing a One Address CPU in Logisim
No full textMost computer users have an incorrect/ but useful/ cognitive metaphor for computers in which the user says (or types or clicks) something and a mystical/ almost intelligent or magical/ behavior happens. It is not a stretch to describe computer users as believing computers follow the laws of magic/ where some magic incantation is entered/ and the computer responds with an expected/ but magical/ behavior. This magic computer does not actually exist. In reality computer are machines/ and every action a computer performs reduces to a set of mechanical operations. In fact the first complete definition of a working computer was a mechanical machine designed by Charles Babbage in 1834/ and would have run on steam power. Probably the biggest success of Computer Science (CS) in the 20th century was the development of abstractions that hide the mechanical nature of computers. The fact that average people use computers without ever considering that they are mechanistic is a triumph of CS designers. This purpose of this monograph is to break the abstract understanding of a computer/ and to explain a computer\u27s behavior in completely in mechanistic terms. It will deal specifically with the Central Processing Unit (CPU) of the computer/ as this is where the magic happens. All other parts of a computer can be seen as just providing information for the CPU to operate on. This monograph will deal with a specific type of CPU/ a one-address CPU/ and will explain this CPU using only standard gates/ specifically AND/ OR/ NOT/ NAND and XOR gates/ and 4 basic Integrated Circuits (ICs)/ the Decoder/ Multiplexer/ Adder/ and Flip Flop. All of these gates and components can be described as mechanical transformations of input data to output data/ and the overall CPU can then be seen as a mechanical device.https://mds.marshall.edu/oa-textbooks/1510/thumbnail.jp
