Introduction to Electronics (OPEN UNI)

1. Student understands the block structures of electronic devices and their signal processing paths. 2. Student can identify the interfaces of analog and digital electronics and the software operations. 3. Student is able to identify and classify electronics components and compare their properties. 4. Students can describe electric conductivity and apply the phenomenon on designing and choosing resistors 5. Student is able to estimate the difference between dielectric materials and how they affect the properties of a capacitor. 6. Student can compare properties of magnetic materials and how identify they effect on inductive components. 7. Student can identify semiconductivity and is able to list typical semiconductor components. 8. Student can classify different circuit board techniques and is able to choose proper coupling techniques. 9. Student can identify the future technologies of electronics materials.

Timing The course is held in the 2nd period. It is recommended to complete the course at the 1st autumn semester. Target group Open university students and other students of University of Oulu, first year Electronics and communications engineering students.
