6.071电子学导论这门课程提供给大学部学生对于电学与电子学基本而实际的了解。强调的是应用而非理论。因此本课程有许多亲自动手的部份，让学生可以得到实作的经验。本课程包含的主题有：

• 直流与交流电路
• 二极体、电晶体、运算放大器
• 类比与数位电子学
• 检测器及转换器
• 电子控制
• 信号处理及杂讯

本课程的重点在于了解有关装配并运用一系列电子仪器来完成不同任务的关键性问题。因此相对于设计，这里更强调应用。6.071主题的广泛性使它成为只想在电子学领域中选修一门课程时的绝佳选择。

Subject 6.071, Introduction to Electronics, provides undergraduate students with both a basic and practical undertanding of electricity and electronics. The emphasis is on applications rather than theory. Consequently there is a strong hands-on component to the subject to enable students to gain practical experience. Topics covered in the subject include:

• DC and AC circuits
• Diodes, transistors, operational amplifier
• Analog and digital electronics
• Detectors and transducers
• Electronic control
• Signal processing and noise

The focus of the subject is understanding the critical issues involved in assembling and using an array of electronic equipment to carry out various missions. Thus, there is more emphasis on the application as opposed to design. The breadth of topics covered in 6.071 makes this a good choice for those intending to take only one subject in electronics.
