Content, progress and pedagogy of the
module
Purpose
To help the students to acquire knowledge and skills which enable
the analysis and designing of basic digital circuits, they acquire
knowledge about various sensors and develop skills to use and
monitor the signals. To teach the operating principles of various
typical sensors and to introduce the concepts & designs for the
measurement of electrical and non-electrical quantities.

digital electronics and sensor technology theory and the electro
technical laboratory experiments, and structure such learning
accordingly.
Type of instruction
The programme is based on a combination of academic,
problem-oriented and interdisciplinary approaches and organised
based on the following work and evaluation methods that combine
skills and reflection:
- Lectures
- Classroom instruction
- Project work
- Workshops
- Exercises (individually and in groups)
- Teacher feedback
- Reflection
- Portfolio work
Extent and expected workload
Since it is a 5 ECTS course module, the work load is expected to
be 150 hours for the student
