Electronics and Business Distance Study: Curriculum

Introduction to engineering mathematics focussing on elementary functions, complex numbers, differential and integral calculus, vectors and matrices

English

Basics in Computer Science

The course Electrical Engineering presents the fundamentals of electrical engineering (voltage, resistance, inductor, capacitor, current, Ohm's law, ... ), the DC technology (voltage divider, current divider, Kirchhoff laws, replacement sources, bridge circuits, superposition theorem of Helmholtz... )

Design, calculation and simulation of analog and digital electronic circuits.

Design and experimental set-up of electronic circuits, as well as their validation and characterization with modern measuring instruments.

In the course students get to know techniques and methods for effective work organisation and systemic planning.

Starting from the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages B2, we aim at developing and strengthening language skills required for personal and social as well as professional interaction

Advanced topics in engineering mathematics focussing on signal analysis and differential equations

Computer Science, Theory of Computation

In the Electronic Engineering 2 course students acquire basic knowledge of fundamental rules in Electrical an Electronics Engineering of AC circuits and understand physical laws and abstractions applied to semiconductor devices.

The course Electronic Measurement and Control Systems presents the fundamentals of Control Theory like Open Loop, Closed Loop model, calculation of step response and transfer function, Analysis of stability under consideration of different controllers like PID. The issue of gain – and phase margin and the digital controller are also the topics auf this course.

The lecture focuses on the transfer of basic knowledge on mechanics and thermodynamics and electrodynamics. It is the goal to enable students to describe technical processes by means of scientific methods. Thereby an understanding of physical and scientific modelling is generated. By applying physical laws to simple technical problems the meaning of physical laws is explained.

The course prepares students for team work in their studies and in their professional work.

Starting from the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages B2, we aim at developing and strengthening the vocabulary of the students’ field of study along with the language skills required for technical and creative communication
