Teaching language

Suitable for English-speaking students

Objectives

This course provides an introduction to electric circuit theory, basic analog electronics and digital systems.

Learning outcomes and competences

Upon successful completion of the course, the students should be capable of:

- performing circuit analysis in the time and frequency domains;

- analysing and designing basic electronic circuits;

- applying Boolean algebra to logic problems;

- recognizing some (basic) relevant analog and digital circuits;

Teaching begins with an introduction to the fundamental concepts, analog devices and calculation methods upon which the first and second above objectives are based. Additional training in Boolean logic, together with several presented examples and problem solving performed throughout the course, support the third and fourth objectives.

Working method
