This module provides the theoretical and experimental basis for understanding, analyzing and designing electronic circuits and electronic systems that make use of bipolar, field-effect transistors, and operational amplifiers. Moreover, experimental aspects will be addressed by lab sessions in which simple circuits will be simulated, assembled and tested.
The module aims to provide the student with the knowledge and operational skills necessary to address problems related to the study, design and testing of simple electronic systems with particular attention to analog ones. The student will be able to: 1. Understand the methods of analysis, design, development and experimental verification of electronic circuits. 2. Develop hardware projects starting from assigned specifications, build them, verify their functionality and performance in the laboratory and, finally, draw up the related documentation.
It is advisable to have taken the exams in Circuit Theory and Electronics.
Classroom lectures
Laboratory sessions: creation of sample circuits in groups (preferably with two students) drafting a summary report (to be assessed during the exam).
The module program will be divided into the following main topics:
Since Electronics constitutes the main "discipline" on which the development of information technologies (ICT) in recent decades and will be so for the future has been based, training expert electronic engineers will allow society to possess the necessary knowledge to the application of these technologies to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN 2030 Agenda.
As an example, we can mention the development of advanced and low-cost systems for:

Written exam and lab reports.
Students with learning disorders ("disturbi specifici di apprendimento", DSA) will be allowed to use specific modalities and supports that will be determined on a case-by-case basis in agreement with the delegate of the Engineering courses in the Committee for the Inclusion of Students with Disabilities.
An oral examination is scheduled: moreover, experimental lab sessions concerning the design, simulation and testing of electronic circuits are reported.
