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 small electrical circuits, able to measure the electrical properties and also to document the circuits and measurements.
Student's Workload
135 h, containing 50 h of scheduled contact studies.
Contents
The course consists of three sections:
1. Theory.
An overview to the electromechanical components and the semiconductor components of electronics. Transistor and amplifier circuits, the structure of power supplies.
2. Simulations in a PC classroom.
3. Laboratories in Technobotnia.
Laboratory exercises will help the student to understand design 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 calculate power as a function of time. Correct operation of the circuits is checked with simulation.
