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.
  • Have an overview of components used in electronics construction.
  • 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 methods of mechanical construction for encapsulation of electronic circuits.

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 and mount electrical components on this.
  • Test and verify a manufactured electronic circuit board.

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. Exercises. Circuit design project.

Further on evaluation

The assessment includes a written final exam (counts 60%) and a project assignment (counts 40%). Both parts must be passed. Grade: Letter grade.

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.
