  • can explain characteristics of the main electronic components and time-dependent electrical phenomenon

 

The student:

  • can solve practical and theoretical problems in electronic circuits
  • can perform calculations on electronic circuits
  • can perform calculations on some analog filters
  • knows the basic specifications and characteristics for small signal amplifier

 

The student:

  • has basic knowledge of assembling simple electronic circuits

Entry requirements

None

Recommended previous knowledge

Electrical engineering from the tertiary vocational school

Analysis and Linear Algebra

Teaching methods

Lectures, laboratory exercises (simulation lab) and calculation workshop.

Regular lectures, exercises, laboratory work and similar activities will be given every third week. During the two weeks where there is no regular teaching, the students are expected to work on the subject by themselves or in teams and to follow course material that is made available online.

In special cases instruction will be given by an English speaking lecturer/guest lecturer. The exam will still be given in Norwegian.

Parts of the course might be given in Haugesund.

Compulsory learning activities

1:   Obligatory calculations: 75 % must be approved.

2:   Laboratory tasks with report: 100 % must be approved.

Valid for the semester that Compulsory assignments are completed and the next semester.

Assessment

Written exam, 5 hours.

Graded scale: A - E / F (failed)

Examination support material

The University College's calculator (Casio fx-82Es) will be handed out.
