Teaching methods
The module 1 (Applicazioni Industriali Elettriche) of the course counts 6 CFUs (one CFU, University Credits equals one ECTS credit and represents the workload of a student during educational activities aimed at passing the exams), which corresponds to 42 hours of lectures.The module 2 of the course (Elementi di Elettronica) counts 3 CFUs, which corresponds to 24 hours of lectures. The educational activities include lectures and exercises. During lectures, the course topics are proposed from the theoretical and design point of view in order to promote a deep understanding of the issues and to bring out by the students any previous knowledge on the subjects in question. Slides and notes used to support the lessons will be uploaded to the Elly Platform. Notes, slides, spreadsheets, tables, and all shared material are part of the educational material. For non-attending students, it is important to stay up-to-date on the course through the Elly platform, the only communication tool used for direct teacher / student contact. On this platform, the topics discussed in the lesson will be pointed out and registered, providing the students with an index of the contents for the final exam.
Assessment methods and criteria
Written 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 the capability to solve simple quantitative exercises by hand calculation. As far as Elementi di Elettronica, students will have to demonstrate knowledge of the techniques for the 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. It is considered important that students be able to solve simple quantitative exercises by hand calculation.
The final vote is calculated by assigning a mark in the range 0-30 for each part of the course and then performing the weighted average of the individual evaluations, with final ceiling to the next unit; the test is exceeded if it reaches a score of at least 18 points. “30 cum laude” is given to students who achieve the highest score on each item and use precise vocabulary.
