Objective

This course orientates students to electronics lab work. The course introduces students to electronic components, test setups, the basics of device construction and the use of measuring equipment as part of electronics analysis and design. The course is intended for computer science students whose studies do not actually aim at electronics design. The course also introduces microcontrollers (Micro Controller Unit, MCU) and their use in sensor data acquisition and actuator control.

Content

1. Intro to the Course
2. Electrical Safety
3. Basics of Electric Circuits
4. Components in Electronics
5. Signals in Electronics
6. Soldering in Electronics
7. Soldering exercises
8. Measurements in Practice
9. Electronics measurements in practice exercise
10. Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) in electronics
11. Microcontrollers & Sensors in IoT

Qualifications

Electromagnetism

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

The student is able to analyze the basic currents, voltages and powers of an electronic circuit. The student masters the properties of electronic components such as passive components and semiconductors. The student recognizes electronic components such as diodes and transistors as well as integrated circuits such as operational amplifiers and is able to analyze their basic connections.

Assessment criteria, good (3)

In addition to basic analyzes such as current voltages and powers, the student is able to perform frequency level analyzes. The student masters the basics of the analysis of dynamic properties such as delays and responses.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

The student is able to choose the connection of analog electronics and analyze its suitability for the current design problem. The student’s design and analysis skills are sufficient to apply the connections.
