Learning Outcomes

After the course, the student is able to understand the basic electronic components, as well as the essential characteristics of the electronic circuits. The student is able to design electronic circuits and design circuits by calculating components and know how to simulate circuits. In addition, students will be able to build a small electrical circuits, able to measure the electrical properties and is able to document the circuits and measurements.

Student's Workload

135 h containing 70 h of scheduled contact studies.
The assessment of student’s own learning 1 h is included in contact lessons.

Contents

An overview to the electromechanical components and the semiconductor components of electronics. Transistor and amplifier circuits, the structure of power supplies. Correct operation of the circuits is checked with simulation. Laboratory exercises will help the student to understand desing of electronics and will help the students to make technical documents. The use of multimeters, oscilloscopes and signal generators. The students will become familiar with energy technology by, e.g., using oscilloscope in measuring current and voltage as a function of time and by using the oscilloscope’s mathematical in-built functions to calcaulte power as a function of time.
