Learning Outcomes

After successful approval if the course the student must be able to identify, analyze and design circuits with semiconductors (OB1). From an experimental point of view the student must be able to identify the most important devices, use power supplies and signals generators and implement circuits in a breadboard and realize correctly measurements with the multimeter and oscilloscope (OB2).
