Content, progress and pedagogy of the
module
Purpose
Through theoretical and practical work on a selected problem, the
students acquire knowledge in the electronics and computer
engineering discipline, as well as use appropriate methods to
document that the problem has a relevant social context. The
problem is analysed by decomposition into sub problems in order to
formulate a technical problem that can be solved by using analog
electronic systems that interact with the environment in one way or
another. The complete solution is assessed with respect to the
relevant social context. Compared to the first semester, this
semester focuses more on the continuous-time (analog) aspects of
electronic systems as well as interaction with the surroundings in
greater detail.
Learning objectives
Knowledge
- Shall have gained experience with theories and methods of
calculation and simulation of linear electronic circuits, linear
electro-mechanical systems, and/or other linear systems
- Shall have acquired knowledge of methods for analysis of linear
dynamic systems, including electronic circuits, described by
differential equations
- Shall have gained insight into basic feedback theory and its
applications in electronic systems
- Must master calculations with complex numbers, as used within
the field of electronics
- Shall have knowledge of recognized standards for documentation
of electronic circuits, including electrical diagrams, PCB layout,
etc.
- Shall be able to demonstrate knowledge of theory and method to
the extent of being able to explain and justify the project's
theory and methods, including both selection and de-selection.
- Shall master the relevant terminology
Skills
- Shall have understanding of basic theories behind simple
electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, operational
amplifiers, etc., including calculation of these components
- Shall be able to identify, analyse and formulate issues within
the discipline through the use of contextual and technical analysis
methods
- Shall, based on the above, be able to create requirements and
test specifications that enable the completed system to be
tested rigorously
- Shall be able to use mathematical theories and methods to
analyse problems involving linear dynamic components
- Shall be able to simulate and design simple analog circuits,
allowing specific, desired properties to be achieved.
- Shall be able to design and implement basic analog and digital
circuits and demonstrate that these work as intended
- Shall be able to document and disseminate knowledge and skills
with proper use of terminology, orally and in writing through a
project report
- Shall be able to analyse and reflect upon his/her own learning
process using appropriate methods of analysis and experience from
P0 and P1
- Shall be able to analyse a technical-scientific problem under
consideration of technological and societal contexts, and assess
the technological and social consequences of proposed
solutions.
Competences
- Must be able to demonstrate, independently and in groups, the
ability to plan, organize, implement and reflect upon a project
that is based on a problem of relevance to society or industry, in
which analog electronic devices play a central role
- Must have acquired, independently and in groups, the ability to
obtain the necessary knowledge of a contextual as well as of
technical nature, and be able to formulate models of limited parts
of reality to such a level of abstraction that the models can be
used in the design, implementation and test of a comprehensive
system to meet given requirements
- Must be able to evaluate and take responsibility for science
and technical solutions in a societal perspective.
- Must be able to generalize and reflect upon the experience with
project planning and cooperation for the further study acquired
during the project work
