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.

15 hours of laboratory practical sessions will be distributed over multiple sessions from 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. Every practical work includes a previous work to do individually before the realization of the practical session. This work will be essential for the realization of the practice in the laboratory.
Evaluation
| Learning outcome |
Assessment activity |
Weight (%) | It allows test resit |
Minimum required grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 6 | Theoretical exam. It is weighted from 4.5 (out of 10) with the rest of valuations. | 75 | Yes | 4.5 |
| 3, 5, 6, 7 | Theoretical exam. It is weighted from 4.5 (out of 10) with the rest of valuations. | 25 | Yes | 4.5 |
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 must be obtained at least a 45% score in both the theoretical and practical exams. Both are of recoverable character.
Ordinary Evaluation
For the evaluation of part B, it is mandatory to attend and participate in all the practices in the laboratory, as well as perform all the previous works in groups.
In both sections A and B, a score greater than 45% in each of the tests is required to overcome the subject.
The exams will be carried out on dates determined by the ETSIIIT.
Extraordinary Evaluation
It will consist of exams allowing that the student who has not passed the parts A and B of 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 ETSIIIT.
