Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
A student who has completed the course can expect to:
- Analyse simple circuits using basic voltage and current laws
- Understand the construction and operation of the main types of passive circuit component (resistor, capacitor and inductor, including variable versions) under D.C. and A.C. conditions
- Comprehend basic A.C. circuit analysis techniques
- Describe the formation and principles of operation of active devices (transistors).
- Understand the concept of an ideal operational amplifier
- Analyse and design simple electronic systems comprising active and passive elements
- Be competent in the use of basic electronic test gear
- Design and construct a simple circuit to a given specification, diagnose faults and repair if necessary
- Write a technical report detailing practical work carried out
