Archived Version

The Degree Regulations and Programmes of Study has been formulated as a dynamic online publication in order to provide the most up to date information possible. Master versions of the Degree Regulations and Programmes of Study incorporating all changes to date are archived twice a year on 1 September and within the first three University working days prior to the start of Semester 2 in January. Please note that some of the data recorded about this course has been amended since the last master version was archived. That version should be consulted to determine the changes made.

- Understand the construction and operation of the main types of passive circuit component (resistor, capacitor and inductor, including variable versions) under D.C. and A.C. conditions
- Comprehend basic A.C. circuit analysis techniques
- Describe the formation and principles of operation of active devices (transistors).
- Understand the concept of an ideal operational amplifier
- Analyse and design simple electronic systems comprising active and passive elements
- Be competent in the use of basic electronic test gear
