Base Knowledge
Analysis of basic electrical circuits.
Teaching Methodologies
Theoretical classes consist of powerpoint presentations complemented by problem solving
concerning measurements and the apparatus involved.
Laboratory classes consist of the implementation of signal acquisition and amplification circuits as well as executable in Labview.
A research work is carried out by the students to be presented at the end of the semester.
