Learning Outcomes

  • At the conclusion of this course you should be able to:

  • LO1: Identify, recognise, and apply fundamental electronic concepts in simple electronic systems (WA1)

  • LO2: Identify electronic components, use these in simple electronic systems, and recognise their limitations (WA1, WA5)

  • LO3: Identify, analyse, measure and predict the behaviour of opamp circuits for a specific application (WA2, WA3)

  • LO4: Identify, analyse, measure and predict the behaviour of basic amplifier, transistor and multistage amplifier circuits (WA2, WA3)

  • LO5: Perform experiments to determine, investigate and communicate electronic circuit behaviour in a team environment. (WA4, WA5, WA9, WA10)
    • University Graduate Attributes

      This course will provide students with an opportunity to develop the Graduate Attributes specified below:
