Organisation and examination
Teaching in the second semester
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
Diodes, bipolar junction transistors, and field-effect transistors. Diode circuits. Basic single stage amplifier configurations. Biasing devices and achieving thermal stability. Small-signal equivalent circuit models. Differential and multistage amplifiers. Frequency response. Basic components of an operational amplifier.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
To be able to explain the basic electronic devices and their functional behavior, to explain and use the elementary concepts that are necessary for analyzing analog electronic circuits.
This course contributes to the learning outcomes I.2, II.1, III.1, III.2, IV.1, IV.2 of the BSc in engineering.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Ex-cathedra sessions, exercice sessions (solving problems with a teaching assistant), numerical simulations of elementary circuits, laboratory sessions.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face course
Recommended or required readings
Copies of the slides and written notes.
Exam(s) in session
Any session
- In-person
written exam ( open-ended questions )
Other : Lab tests
Additional information:
1) Tests at the end of the lab sessions.
2) Written exam on the material seen in lectures, exercice sessions, and labs.
For the June session, the final note is calculated as follows:
- lab tests, 10 %
- theory part of the written exam, 30 %
- exercice part of the written exam, 60 %
For the September session, no lab is organized and the note associated with the lab tests is that obtained in June.
A first note is calculated on the basis of the September written exam only (33 % theory and 67 % exercice). A second note is calculated by including the lab tests (same basis as in June). The final note is the highest of the two.
Exam modalities: closed book, cell phones and smartphones are forbidden. For the exercice part, a form is given and a calculator can be used.
