Opetusmenetelmät

The course will utilize a combination of: - Lectures: Interactive sessions focusing on theoretical concepts of analog electronics. - Exercises: Problem-solving sessions to strengthen understanding and apply theory to practical scenarios. - Lab Work: Hands-on experiments in a laboratory setting to explore circuit behavior and enhance practical skills. - Simulations: Use of simulation tools (e.g., LTSpice, Multisim) to model, analyze, and verify electronic circuits. Completion Requirements - Submission of lab work reports demonstrating the understanding of experimental results. - A final exam testing theoretical knowledge and problem-solving skills.

Harjoittelu- ja työelämäyhteistyö

The course develops practical skills relevant to the electronics industry, preparing students for internships and entry-level positions in circuit design, testing, and simulation roles.

Toteutuksen valinnaiset suoritustavat

Students who are unable to follow the standard course completion methods may consider the following alternatives, subject to prior approval by the instructor: Project-Based Assessment: - Students can complete a comprehensive project related to analog electronics, such as designing and simulating a functional circuit. The project must include a written report and a presentation. Additional Exercises: - For students unable to attend lab sessions, additional theoretical exercises and circuit simulations may be assigned to demonstrate the required competencies. Oral Examination: - As an alternative to the written exam, students may opt for an oral exam to demonstrate their theoretical understanding and problem-solving skills. These alternative methods must be discussed with the instructor at the beginning of the course or as soon as the need arises.
