Objectives
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT ANALOG AND DIGITAL ELECTRONICS, FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF DEVICE PHYSICS AND THE TECHNOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS. THE COURSE BUILDS ON THE SKILLS ACQUIRED IN PREVIOUS COURSES, ESPECIALLY IN ELECTROMAGNETICS AND CIRCUIT THEORY.
ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT SIMPLE DIGITAL AND ANALOG ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS AND USE ADVANCED INSTRUMENTATION FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF ELECTRICAL QUANTITIES.
JUDGEMENT:
THROUGH THE ORGANIZATION, LARGELY INDEPENDENT OF PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE THE STUDENT WILL DEVELOP CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS AND JUDGMENT ON THE WORK AND THE LEVEL OF ACHIEVEMENT OF THE OBJECTIVES SET
COMMUNICATION SKILLS:
THE STUDENT WILL PREPARE A WRITTEN REPORT CONCERNING ANY PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE PERFORMED IN THE STYLE OF A SCIENTIFIC REPORT.
LEARNING SKILLS:
THE THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL SKILLS ACQUIRED WILL ALLOW THE STUDENT TO BETTER DEAL WITH LATER STUDIES IN THE FIELD OF EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICS AND ALSO USE OF MEASUREMENT EQUIPMENT WITH GREATER AUTONOMY.
Prerequisites
ADEQUATE KNOWLEDGE OF GENERAL PHYSICS AND,MORE SPECIFICALLY, OF ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS.
