    Learning material

    Material available for this course in Itslearning including slides and example calculations as well as links to online material.
    In independent study you can use any electronics book for engineers (introductory level) and any available online material.

    Learning methods

    Lectures, preliminary assignments and calculations, laboratory work.

    Objects, timing and methods of assessment

    Course consists of two parts:
    - Introduction to circuits and measurement techniques (weight 60 %)
    - Introduction to electronics (transistors, opamps and logic gates) (weight 40 %)

    Both parts need to be completed with a passing grade.
    Missing work receives a grade of -3.
    Only tasks returned on time will be evaluated.

    Redoing failed or missing parts must be agreed with the teacher separately. Laboratory work or reports with passing grade cannot be retaken.

    Alternative methods of attainment for implementation

    None.

    Exam dates and retake possibilities

    The emphasis is on the laboratory reports. The date for the laboratory test can be found in ITSlearning.
    One laboratory session at the end of the course is for completing a missing lab work or redoing a failed assignment.
    Grade for a passed lab work cannot be raised.

    Pedagogic approaches

    Flipped learning, hands on working, combining theory and practice during lab work.

    Student's schedule and workload

    Lectures: 7x 2 h = 14 h
    Lab. sessions: 13x 3 h = 39 h
    Independent study: 20 h
    Preliminary assignments: 26 h
    Finishing reports: 26 h

    Content scheduling

    Course includes building simple circuits on a protoboard and basic measurements. This includes the use of a protoboard, multimeter, signal generator and oscilloscope. After learning to use these instruments, we build circuits with transistors, operational amplifiers and logic gates.

    Course is held in Autumn 2022.

    More accurate description and timetable is found on ITSlearning.
