Teaching methods
Classroom lectures and exercises solved by the instructor and by
students.
Assessment methods and criteria
Oral exam. There is a single exam for the two modules making up the integrated course. As far as Applicazioni industriali Elettriche students will have to demonstrate knowledge of the techniques for the time analysis and synthesis of electric systems including energy behavior.
It is considered important that student be able to solve simple quantitative exercises by hand calculation. Students will have to demonstrate knowledge of the techniques for the time-domain and frequency-domain analysis of linear systems treated in the lectures, and the ability to apply them. They are also expected to be able to analyze the behavior of simple circuits based on operational amplifiers. It is considered important that students be able to solve simple quantitative exercises by hand calculation.
