Learning outcomes of the learning unit

This course will allow the student to get introduced to the basics of device physics. The student will be trained in the analysis of applications in analog electronics and digital electronics, in the perspective of instrumentation for physics.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Basics of electromagnetism.
Introduction to modern physics.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Lectures and lab sessions (mounting and analysis of analog and digital circuits). Group project as a part of lab assignments.

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

Face-to-face course


Further information:

The course is scheduled for the first quadrimester.
