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.
Basic skills
G2 - Teamwork
G3 - Autonomous learning
G7 - Ability to conceive, design, implement and operate systems and services in the field of ICT.
CB5 - Students must have developed the learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy.
1.4 - Understanding and mastery of the basic concepts of linear systems and related functions and transforms, theory of electrical circuits, electronic circuits, the physical principle of semiconductors and logic families, electronic and photonic devices, materials technology and its application to solve engineering problems.
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 Student study and autonomous work | 0 | 57 |
Total | 76 | 74 |
The 15 hours of laboratory practical sessions will be distributed in several sessions of two to three hours each. These sessions will take place temporarily distributed throughout the semester, for the proper coordination with the concepts worked on in the classroom. Every practical work includes a previous work to do individually before the realization of the practical session and based on a circuit simulation software. Its realization will be fundamental for the development of the practice in the laboratory.
Learning outcome | Assessment activity | Weight (%) | It allows test resit | Minimum required grade |
1, 2, 4, 5 | Theoretical exam. It will be weighted from 4.5 (out of 10) with the rest of the evaluations. | 75 | Yes | 4.5 |
2, 3, 4, 5 | Experimental work tests and reports: Practical exam. It will be weighted from 4.5 (out of 10) with the rest of the evaluations . | 25 | Yes | 4.5 |
Ordinary Evaluation
The evaluation of the course will be carried out taking into account the following points :
A- Theoretical and practical exam (75%)
B- Evaluation of practices (25%)
To pass the subject a grade higher than 45% is required in each of the tests carried out in the two previous points. Both are of recoverable character.
In order to be able to take the evaluation tests A theoretical-practical and B of practices (and therefore to pass the course), it is necessary to attend and participate in all the practices in the laboratory, as well as to carry out in group all the previous works of the same ones. To this end, flexibility mechanisms are offered in the recovery of these practices as long as they are due to exceptional and duly justified circumstances that prevent attendance on a particular day.
The exams will be held on the dates determined by the ETSIIT.
Recovery Evaluation
It will consist of theoretical-practical and practical exams, which will allow the student who has not passed any of them in the ordinary evaluation, to have a second opportunity to do so. Therefore, the conditions and format are identical to those of the exams of the ordinary exams.
These exams will be held on the dates determined by the ETSIIT.
