Learn the main notions and applications of electrical and electronic measurements.
The student acquires basic knowledge on circuits and electromagnetism, on binary logic and arithmetic, and on electrical measurements and metrology, so to master laboratory test and measurement tasks. For the vast majority, instrumentation is in fact nowadays electronic and digital.
Lectures in classroom with supporting material (slides).
Students having documented Specific Learning Disorders (SLD) or special needs can addres the Teacher(s) and the Referent for SLD of teh Department before the beginning of the lessons in order to define special teaching methods to guarantee the achievement of objectives and learning outcomes.
