General Information

Main field: Technology.
Compulsory for: M3, MD3
Language of instruction: The course will be given in Swedish

Aim

Mechanical engineers need to use more electronics today than ever before. Most products, processes, and systems involve one or more of the following items:

 

To be able to structure and use such technology, the engineer needs basic knowledge of electronics. The aim of this course is to give a broad knowledge of the wide field from Ohm’s law to computer-based control of servo motors.

Examination details

Grading scale: TH - (U,3,4,5) - (Fail, Three, Four, Five)
Assessment: Passed laboratory work including preparatory tests and two written partial exams. Material from the first partial exam might occur also in the second one. The grade for the course is based on the weighted mean of theresult of the two partial exams.

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.
