Aim
The course provides the overview necessary for an engineer of the electrical engineering area, through detailed studies of an application from various viewpoints. Theory and practise are combined into a holistic view, but also aspects on economy, the society and the environmental impact are introduced. All those issues are discussed in a final project report.
Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must
- have acquired a holistic understanding of electrical engineering, the various fields and their interrelations
- have a deep understanding for at least one electric application
- realize the impact of electric and electronic products on man, environment and society
- have knowledge of serious long-term threats to the environment
Skills and abilities
For a passing grade the student must
- have trained to work in an engineering manner
- be skilled in searching, structuring, and evaluating information
- have been trained in both written and oral presentation
- have been trained to work in a team
- have gained experience of discussing global threats to the environment
Judgement and approach
For a passing grade the student must
- have trained to search and comprehend information about hitherto unknown areas, both from the Internet and from printed source.
- be self-confident in analysing an electric application (an apparatus) from several electro-technical aspects
- be self-confident in analysing an electric system from environmental impact aspects
Contents
The main object of this course is to connect the different ESS-courses within the block Electronics, Systems and Signals by giving the students a real application to analyse such as a pacemaker, a cell phone, or a gps-navigator
