Introduction to Electrical Engineering
7.5 ECTS creditsInstruction is in the form of lectures, supervised exercises and mandatory seminars, field trips, laboratory sessions and project.
The course comprises the following components:
- introduction to the various functions of the engineer
- introduction to electrical engineering systems and model thinking
- renewable electrical energy and sustainable development
- project on renewable electric energy
- information retrieval, report writing and presentation techniques
- basic electrical engineering concepts (current, charge, potential, voltage, conductors and insulators, electric and magnetic fields),
- passive components (resistor, capacitor, inductor) and their uses
- active components (diod, transistor, operational amplifier) and their uses
- laboratory sessions and reports
- measuring principles and methods with electrical measuring instruments
- processing measuring data
