BACKGROUND
The pervasive presence of electronic devices and instrumentation in all aspects of engineering design and analysis is one of the manifestations of the electronic revolution that characterized the second half of the 20th century. Every aspect of engineering practice, and even of everyday life, has been affected in same way of another by electrical and electronic devices and instruments. Computers are perhaps the most obvious manifestations of this presence. However, many other areas of electrical engineering are also important for the practicing engineer, from mechanical and industrial engineering to chemical, materials engineering and civil engineering.

The integration of electronics and computer technologies in all engineering academic disciplines and the emergence of digital electronics and microcomputers as a central element of many engineering products and processes have become a common theme across the world. In this context, this course acts as an introductory course in electrical circuits and electronics within the Industrial Engineering and Management curriculum.

SPECIFIC AIMS
The main objective of this course is to present the basic principles and foundations of Electricity and Electronics to the Industrial Engineering and Management students. That is, to an audience composed of non-electrical engineering students.

A second objective is to present the essential material in an uncomplicated fashion, focusing on the important results and applications, and presenting the students with the most appropriate analytical and computational tools to solve a variety of practical problems.


PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE
A previous knowledge on basic electricity, from Physics and Chemistry course, and differential and integral calculus, from Mathematical Analysis I course, is required.

PERCENTUAL DISTRIBUTION
Estimated percentual distribution for the scientific and technological contents:
- Scientific component: 60 %.
- Technological component: 40 %.


LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of the course, the students should:
1. be able to use the fundamental techniques for the analysis of DC and AC circuits, including 3-phase circuits;
2. be able to use the fundamental techniques for the analysis of electronic circuits (diodes, transistors and operational amplifiers);
3. have practice with basic laboratory equipment: multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies and signal generators.

Eligibility for exams

- Minimum attendance to the laboratorial classes

Calculation formula of final grade

- Component DL: analysis of the student’s individual performance at the laboratory, complemented by the analysis of a set of requested home-works;
- Components MT1 and MT2: two written mini-tests;

Minimum classification for components MT1 and MT2 is 7,5.

Final grade (CF):
CF = 0,3*DL+0,35*MT1+0,35*MT2 (if min{MT1} and min{MT2} >= 7,5)
CF = min{MT1, MT2} (if min{MT1} or min{MT2} < 7,5)

Students may attempt the Improvement of the following components:
DL, practical examination; MT1 and/or MT2, written MT.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

- 1 practical examination replaces component DL;
- 1 written examination paper replaces components MT1, MT2.

Classification improvement

- 1 practical examination replaces component DL;
- 1 written examination paper replaces components MT1, MT2.
