Electromagnetism

Teaching Methodologies

The course contents are presented through exposition supported by computer-based resources, interspersed with practical laboratory work and application exercises to consolidate the exposed knowledge. In the context of teacher-student interaction, Moodle and Nonio platforms are used as complementary tools. Laboratory classes will take place in a lab equipped with computers, signal acquisition boards, power supplies, signal generators, oscilloscopes, and other electronic components, allowing practical work after the exposition of theoretical content. Non-contact hours are dedicated to the student’s autonomous work, including preparation for assigned tasks, analysis of obtained laboratory results, and report writing.

Learning Results

To know and be able to use the basic laws of Electrical Engineering (Ohm’s law, Kirchhoff’s laws), as well as methods for analyzing electrical circuits (voltage and current divider circuits, nodal analysis, independent mesh analysis, Thévenin equivalent, superposition principle); students should learn the basic concepts of electronic devices and their characteristics, analysis, and applications, as well as understand and analyze filters; acquire basic skills for the design and analysis of circuits with discrete components, operational amplifiers, and DC sources; they should correctly use testing, measurement, and diagnostic equipment and develop teamwork skills; students should be able to use simulation tools and EDA/CAD programs for printed circuit board design.
