Contents

The main part of the course consists of design and create of a PCB with appropriate design tools, and to equip and test the construction. At the beginning of the course some lectures are given in order to support the project activities. Each group of two gets their own lab desk with all the necessary instruments and tools that they can use throughout the course. During office hours supervisors are available for advice and troubleshooting.

Examination details

Grading scale: UG - (U,G) - (Fail, Pass)
Assessment: To pass the course, the student must demonstrate a final construction with written documentation. The project must be presented orally, and the student must act as opponent on another student's project.

The examiner, in consultation with Disability Support Services, may deviate from the regular form of examination in order to provide a permanently disabled student with a form of examination equivalent to that of a student without a disability.
