Learning unit contents

After introducing the basis of general electronics, a large part of the course will be devoted to digital electronics. Many essential elementary circuits as well as any modern electronic device will be analysed in detail (..., meters, dereoder, multiplexer, ...). The part devoted to electrotechnics will mainly focus on understanding electrical machines (engines genrators) with a particular emphasis on moderndevices (step by step engine as well as their command. Finally another important part deals with practical work : on the one hand students will simulate the circuits analysed in class with a specialized software, they will also have to study and conceive a printed circuit.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

This course aims to present the main principles of electronics and electrotechnic's
Strategy : The course will allow students to understand the scientific and technological context of a complex situation. The course will allow students to demonstrate scientific precision and a critical mind in the analysis of a complex situation. Implementation : The course will train the student to take into account its scientific, technological and entrepreneurial dimensions  when confronted with a complex situation. The course will train the student to capitalize on the characteristics of a more and more digitalized world when confronted with a complex situation. Adaptability : The course will encourage students to be curious and to show a scientific precision of academic level in their studies as well as in their professional life. The course will encourage students to be creative and self sufficient  in their studies as well as in their professional life.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Course on General Physics, especially concerning general electricity. 

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

An impodrtant part of this course (see above) consists in practical work illustrating the theory

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

Blended learning


Additional information:

Wide use of multimedia support with animated illustrations reflecting real-life situations. Also, students will be required to individually simulate the concepts studied in class with the help of simulation software. They will also conceive a printed circuit in lab classes
