Content scheduling

Course includes building simple circuits on a protoboard and basic measurements.
Main topics are: DC circuits and connections, AC circuits and basic components, semiconductors in a simple circuit, and using equipment to measure these circuits.

Course is held in Spring 2023.

More accurate description and timetable is found on ITSlearning.

Objective

After completing the course the student:
- is able to use multimeter and oscilloscope
- can name common components used in electronics and knows their basic characteristics
- can calculate currents, voltages and resistances as well as powers in simple circuits
- knows the basics of digital and analog blocks and their couplings in electronics.

Content

- Basic concepts of Circuit analysis and measurements: current, voltage, resistance, power
- Active and passive components used in electronics
- Basics of analog and digital electronics

Materials

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.

Teaching methods

Lectures, preliminary assignments and calculations, laboratory work.

Exam schedules

The emphasis is on the laboratory reports and course cannot be passed by taking only the test.
The test is held during a laboratory session and the date is 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.

International connections

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

Completion alternatives

None.

Student workload

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