Course contents
Semiconductors and semiconductor theory. Diodes, LEDs, transistors, MOS-FET and J-FET. Rectification. Simple transistor circuits. Operational amplifiers and comparators. Scheduling and simulation of electronic circuits.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the students should:
- Have a basic understanding of linear electrical circuits with passive components and semiconductor components
- Be able to perform theoretical analysis of linear electrical circuits with passive components and semiconductor components
- Be able to draw circuit diagrams and simulate linear electrical circuits with passive components and semiconductor components using suitable software
- Be able to use electronic measuring instruments and have knowledge of elementary measurement technique
- Be able to communicate academic knowledge in writing and orally
- Be able to participate in professional discussions in elementary electronics and share their experiences with others
Examination requirements
The compulsory theory and laboratory assignments must be approved in order to take the examination. Information about the compulsory assignments is given in Canvas in the beginning of the semester.
Teaching methods
Lectures, theory exercises, laboratory exercises and project work. The laboratory exercises and project include the use of both digital tools and laboratory instruments and take place in the electronics laboratory under the guidance of a teacher, laboratory staff and / or student assistants. The class is divided into groups of appropriate size so that all students have access to the necessary equipment and the help they need to solve the tasks. Laboratory exercises and project work take place in small groups. Students use computer tools for designing electronic circuits. Approval of assignments takes place through demonstration and oral explanation in the laboratory. A report must be written for the project work in addition to a demonstration in the laboratory.
Expected workload for the average student: 135 hours.
Evaluation
The person responsible for the course decides, in cooperation with student representative, the form of student evaluation and whether the course is to have a midway or end of course evaluation in accordance with the quality system for education, chapter 4.1.
Offered as Single Standing Module
Yes. Subject to availability or capacity.
Admission Requirement if given as Single Standing Module
Higher Education Entrance Qualification including mathematics R1 and R2 and physics Fysikk 1, or a pass in the preliminary course examination for engineers (which is also offered at University of Agder).
Assessment methods and criteria
4 hours individual written examination. Graded assessment.
