Course detail
Electrical Engineering and Electronics in Physical Experiment
FSI-TEF Acad. year: 2019/2020 Summer semester
The course deals with the properties of elements of electronic circuits and their use in experimental practice. Attention is paid to measuring equipment, generators and counters, filters, feedback elements, signal processing and converters D/A and A/D. Lectures are strongly supported by the practical applications.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students whose primary focus is physically-technical, will gain a basic understanding of electronics. The main focus head towards to the practice in laboratory.
Prerequisites
Basic electric and magnetic quantities (electric charge and electric current, vectors of electromagnetic field, integral quantities – electric voltage, magnetic voltage, electric induction flux, magnetic induction flux). Fundamentals of electromegnetism (Coulomb 's law, Biot-Savart's law, Faraday's law, Amper's law). Electric and magnetic properties of matters.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Student should suggest solution of given problem. Disscussion of the presented circuit arrangement follows.
Aims
The course enables students to brush their knowledge acquired during their previous
study and to extend it.
Students will be made familliar with the principles of modern electrical engineering and electronics which are necessary for the study of other specialized disciplines and particularly to bring off the future technical practice.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
The attendance at seminars is checked at the beginning of the lesson in the laboratory, scored evaluation of lab protocols, scored evaluation based on two check tests during a term. Students can make up for the missed laboratory practice (in justified cases) during the term in other study groups, or the compensatory laboratory practices will be announced at the end of the term by the Department Management.
