Methodology

 

Methodology - Activity Presential Hours Non-presential hours
A-1 Theoretical classes/participatory classes 45  0
A-2 Cooperative learning activities 6 5
A-3 Practical sessions in small groups 15 12
A-4 Tutoring and evaluation activities 10 0
A-5 Study and autonomous student work 57
     
Total 76 74

 

The 15 hours of laboratory practices will be distributed in several sessions of two to three hours each. These sessions will be distributed throughout the entire semester, being coordinated with the concepts worked in class. It must be done a previous work for each practice, based on a circuit simulation software. Its implementation will be essential for the development of the practice in the laboratory.

Resultado de aprendizaje Sistema de evaluación Peso (%) Carácter recuperable
 1, 2, 4, 6  Theoretical exam. It is weighted from 5 (out of 10) with the rest of valuations.  75%  Yes
 3, 5, 6  Practical exam. It is weighted from 5 (out of 10) with the rest of valuations.  25%  Yes

 

 

The evaluation of the subject will be made taking into account the following sections:

 

A-   Theoretical and practical exam (75%)

B-   Practice work evaluation (25%)

 

To overcome the course it is required to obtain a score higher than 50% in each of the exams done in parts A and B. Both are of recoverable character.  

 

To attend the practical and theoretical exams of parts A and B, (and therefore be able to pass the subject), it is a compulsory condition to attend and participate in all the practices in the laboratory, as well as done all the previous works of the practices. To this end, flexibility mechanisms are offered for the recovery of these practices, as long as they are due to exceptional and duly justified circumstances that prevent attending a specific day.

 

The exams will be carried out on dates determined by the ETSIIT.

 

Extraordinary Evaluation

 

It will consist of exams allowing that the student who has not passed the ordinary evaluation, has a second chance to do so. Therefore, the conditions and the format will be similar to the ordinary exams.

 

The exams will be carried out on dates determined by the ETSIIT.

Contents

This course is common to the undergraduate degrees in computer engineering and telecommunication technologies. It aims to show the student what electronics is and its application to telecommunications and information processing circuits. The fundamentals of electronic circuits are collected in order to understand the basic workings of the building blocks of more complex elements, both in the field of analog electronics and in the field of digital electronics, but more focused on the first one. This course is intended to both establish the basis for further in-depth studies in electronics that are included in the telecommunications technologies degree as to show the students who do not have these subjects in their studies, simple but solid insight into the physical elements that are based on the existing systems of storage, processing and transmission of information.
