modules

This module takes you into the world of Electronic engineering - a field that covers everything from radio to space flight. In their careers, electronicl engineers encounter two main types of signals - analog and digital - so this module is divided into two parts. The analogue section gives you an overview of the fundamentals of semiconductors and semiconductor devices, including diodes, transistors and operational amplifiers. Studying semiconductor devices involves understanding their characteristics, circuits  and applications in all disciplines of engineering. You will study analogue circuit design for sensor applications such as heat, strain and light. In the digital section, you will study Boolean algebra and fundamentals of logic gates for the design of combinational and sequential logic circuits and their practical applications such as decision making electronic circuits, counters and timers. You will also take part in assessed practical electronic laboratories that applies your knowledge in both analogue and digital fields and demonstrate applications of their circuits.

Pre-requisite module: ECM1102 or equivalent
