Electronics Engineering

Volledige vakbeschrijving

In this course, you learn the fundamentals of electronics needed to enter the concentration in Engineering Physics for Sustainable Manufacturing and extend the knowledge you obtained in Physics and Electronics Laboratory Skills. You explore the role of different components and devices, learn the laws governing their behaviours and develop an understanding of basic circuitry, further explored in the concentration course Advanced Electronics and Sensor Technology. You perform calculations using Ohm’s and Kirchhoff’s laws, resistances, voltages, DC and AC currents, capacitors, inductors, diodes, junctions and transistors. You also apply the basics of digital electronics (logic gates and Boolean algebra). You look at how combinations of discrete devices can be used to build up more complex circuitry and have the opportunity to see how electronics can be used to build up the technology, which we are most familiar with today, from flat-screen TVs and smartphones. Nearly everything we use in this day and age relies on electronics. Throughout this course, you learn to appreciate how the technology around functions. You execute reversed engineering strategies to understand the inner workings of typical electronic devices.
