Content scheduling
The course will begin in week 2 and end in week 17.
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
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

Teaching methods
Lectures, lab sessions, pair work, independent study
Exam schedules
Lab test (which is not mandatory) will take place in week 12.
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.
Sustainable development aspects are considered during the course. In lectures, the applications of electronics in creating an ecologically sustainable and resilient society are highlighted. Wasteful practices in the lab are discouraged.
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.
Qualifications
High school mathematics courses (higher or subsidiary level)
OR
Primary+secondary school and vocational school maths curriculum and course: Introduction to Mathematics and Physics
