Objectives

SPECIFIC AIMS The main objective of this course is to present the basic principles and foundations of Electricity 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. 

Learning outcomes and competences

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. know the fundamental laws of electromagnetism, including the ability to analyze elementary magnetic circuits; 3. have practice with basic laboratory equipment: multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies and signal generators.

Working method

Presencial

Pre-requirements (prior knowledge) and co-requirements (common knowledge)

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 8,0.
Final grade (CF): CF = 0,25*DL+0,375*MT1+0,375*MT2 (if min{MT1} and min{MT2} >= 8,0) CF = min{MT1, MT2} (if min{MT1} or min{MT2} < 8,0)

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.
