Electronics I

Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Electronics I
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Electrical Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2005
Module code: E303
Hours per semester week / Teaching method:
The count of hours per week is a combination of lecture (V for German Vorlesung), exercise (U for Übung), practice (P) oder project (PA). For example a course of the form 2V+2U has 2 hours of lecture and 2 hours of exercise per week.
3V+1U (4 hours per week)
ECTS credits:
European Credit Transfer System. Points for successful completion of a course. Each ECTS point represents a workload of 30 hours.
5
Semester: 3
Mandatory course: yes
Language of instruction:
German
Assessment:
Written examination

[updated 10.03.2010]
Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

E303. Biomedical Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2011 , semester 3, mandatory course, course inactive since 28.11.2013
E303 Electrical Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2005 , semester 3, mandatory course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
E104 Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering I
E203 Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering II


[updated 10.03.2010]
Recommended as prerequisite for:
E402 Electronics II
E501 Microprocessors I
E505 Electrical Drive Systems
E521 Integration-Compliant Circuit Engineering I
E614 Telecommunications Electronics

Learning outcomes:
Having acquired a basic understanding of the properties of electronic components (in this case: diodes and bipolar junction transistors), students will be able to use a variety of computational and graphical methods to analyse and dimension electronic circuits. With the skills learned, students will be able to understand the function of specific circuits and, conversely, will be able to construct circuits to implement simple functions subject to specified constraints.
