Introduction to Electrical Engineering

Instruction is in the form of lectures, exercises, seminars, and laboratory sessions.

The basics of electrical engineering
Introduction to electricity: Fundamental concepts in electricity, such as Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's laws, and Thevenin's theorem.
Electric fields: fundamental concepts, such as Coulomb's law.
Magnetic fields: fundamental concepts, such as Gauss's law.
Electromagnetism: fundamental concepts, such as mutual inductance.
- an electrical engineering group project that is presented orally and in writing,
- measurement principles and methods with electrical measuring instruments and data processing,
- overview of the various subject areas encompassed by the concept of electrical engineering,
- introduction to mechanics from an electrical engineering perspective, including the laws of motion and energy.

The professional role
- sustainable development and ethics in relation to the professional role of the engineer,
- the basics of common digital tools for electrical engineering, such as CAD,
- laboratory work and lab reports,
- workplace visits and meetings with working engineers.

Study skills
- introduction to study techniques for the academic level,
- the basics of group dynamics and project methodology.

Progressive specialisation: G1N (has only upper‐secondary level entry requirements)

Education level: Undergraduate level

Admission requirements: General admission requirements and upper secondary level Mathematics 3c or D, Physics 2, and Chemistry 1, or equivalent

Selection: Selection is usually based on your grade point average from upper secondary school or the number of credit points from previous university studies, or both.
