Aims

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :

1

Given the learning outcomes of the "Bachelor in Engineering" program, this course contributes to the development, acquisition and evaluation of the following learning outcomes:

  • S1.G4
  • S2.2, S2.4

Students completing this course successfully will be able to

  • explain the basic laws of electricity and electrical circuits
  • solve simple electrical circuits using wisely the fundamental laws
  • simulate simple circuits using a software and interpret the results
  • characterize simple electrical circuits by explaining their operation
  • explain the operation of the MOS transistor as a logic switch
  • describe, from the combination of MOS transistors, the opering and implementation of basic logic gates and the main memory points
