ELI1100 Electronics Course description

On completion of the course, the students will have gained an understanding of the electrical properties of linear circuits and how basic circuits can be designed based on specifications. The course also gives a basic introduction to electromagnetics and confers 3 credits in physics.

MEK1000 Mathematics 1000 or equivalent is recommended prior knowledge.

No requirements over and above the admission requirements.

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student

• knows the most important electronic komponents work and their properties
• can use system descriptions of electronics
• can describe electronic properties of sensors and actuators
• has knwoledge about amplifiers and how to analyse these
• has general knowledge about control of electronic systems and especially feedback systems
• has knowledge about construction of semiconductors and how they work
• know how to use diodes and transistors

Skills

The student can

• analyze transient conditions in second-order RLC circuits
• design amplifier based on feedback systems
• understand and use circuit diagrams and perform error checking
• discuss a circuit solution and explain how it works
• use supplier manuals and data sheets

General competence

The studentcan

• analyze a problem and specify a solution methodology
• explain and discuss different choices of solution method
• account for the historical development in the field of electronics

The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can sit the exam:

• Four lab exercises with presence

Report must be approved at the end of each excersise before leaving the laboratory.

Exam autumn 2021 due to Covid-19 (both ordinary and new postponed exam):
