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.

Learning outcomes

1. Describe the different semiconductor materials and their properties.
2. Describe the characteristics, performance and applications of basic semiconductor devices (diodes, BJT, FET, etc.) as well as the operational amplifier.
3. Correctly handle the tools, instruments and software applications available in the laboratories of the basic materials and properly carry out the analysis of the data collected.
4. Apply the basic principles of competence 1.4 to the resolution of problems in engineering.
5. Work in group effectively, identifying the objectives of the group and planning the work to achieve those objectives, as well as assuming the responsibilities and commitments associated with the assignment.
6. Schedule the recommended tasks in such a way that they are made in accordance with the guidelines set by the teacher and on time. Assess the degree of compliance with the objectives of learning and detect problems in the own educational progress.

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	0	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 take place temporarily distributed throughout the entire semester, for its proper coordination with the concepts worked in the classroom. For each practice it is compulsory to carry out a previous work in groups. This is essential for the realization of the practice in the laboratory.

Evaluation

 

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.
