Learning outcome
Knowledge - The candidate shall be able to:
- Explain the process of developing and producing electronic equipment.
- Knowledge of circuit design, layout, circuit boards, assembly, soldering and testing.
- Explain the properties of different types of passive components such as resistors, capacitors and inductors.
- Explain principles for reducing the effects of noise and EMC in electronic systems.
- Explain how physical quantities can be transferred to electrical signals.
- Explain different methods of digitizing an electrical signal.
- Knowledge of the principle of 3D printing.
Skills - The candidate shall be able to:
- Analyze, model and simulate electronic circuits using computer tools.
- Use CAD tools to draw and make layout of electrical circuit boards.
- Create documentation for production of a printed circuit board.
- Mount electrical components on a PCB using soldering.
- Test and troubleshoot a manufactured electronic circuit board.
- Use AI-based tools in a critical, honest and reflective manner.
General competence - The candidate shall be able to:
- Document in writing the process of developing, making and testing an electronic equipment.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures. Student-active teaching methods. Voluntary exercises. Circuit design project.
Further on evaluation
The assessment includes a digital written exam (counts 60%) and a project assignment with report and video presentation (counts 40%). Both parts must be passed.
In the event of a re-sit examination in August, the examination may be changed to an oral examination. If you do not pass the project assignment, this must be taken again at the next ordinary completion of the course.
If one or more partial assessments are not passed, only the individual partial assessment, which has not been passed, must be taken up again.
In case of repeated examination after passing the course, the whole course must be repeated.
