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
Lecture notes, links and videos on the course's ITSlearning page
Teaching methods
Lectures, lab sessions, pair work, independent study
Exam schedules
Lab test (which is not mandatory) will take place in week 45.
International connections
During the course we will learn electronics skills fundamental for an ICT-engineer's background knowledge. Most of the learning happens in the electronics lab, during hands-on assignments where students work in pairs to build circuits and measure how they operate.
Completion alternatives
If a student wants to pass the course without submitting the reports, this needs to be agreed upon with the teacher.
Student workload
Contact hours (lectures and lab sessions): 51 h
Independent study, preparing for the labs and lab test, writing lab reports: rest
8 written reports on lab assignments and 1 lab test. Work will be distributed throughout the duration of the course.
Content scheduling
The course will begin in week 36 and end in week 50.
Topics:
- Basic concepts of circuit analysis and measurements: current, voltage, resistance, power
- Basic usage of the oscilloscope to measure and analyse AC signals
- Basics of analog and digital electronics
- Active and passive components used in electronics, such as transistors, operational amplifiers and logic gates

Assessment methods and criteria
Course has two parts:
Part 1: Introduction to electrical measurements
- 4 assignments (70 %)
- Lab test (30 %) on week 45 (NOT mandatory!)
Part 2: Introduction to electronics
- 4 assignments
Weighing
- Part 1: 60 % of final grade
- Part 2: 40 % of final grade
Both parts must be passed!
Each assignment: grade 0–5 (not returned: -3). The test: grade 0–5. Using these grades, I’ll calculate the average grades for course parts 1 and 2 and weigh them in the 60-40-ratio to help determine the final grade.
Much more detailed instructions can be found on ITSlearning and will be explained during the first lecture.
