Learning outcomes
Knowledge
Objective: to understand the principles of electrical circuits and machines using appropriate analytical methods and use these principles in some of the numerous applications of electrical engineering. The student who have successfully completes the course will have the ability to: - solve both DC and AC steady-state electrical circuits; - perform the measurement of the basic electrical quantities (current, voltage, and power); - choose an electrical machine with its drive capable to operate a mechanical load (with fixed or variable speed); - assess the electrical safety degree of a simple electrical plant.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
- In the written exam (3 hours), the student must demonstrate his/her ability in solving a number (typically 3) of simple exercises covering the most important topics of the course. - During the oral exam the student must be able to demonstrate his/her knowledge of the basic principles of electrical engineering and to discuss them using the appropriate terminology.

Methods:

  • Final oral exam
  • Final written exam

Further information:
The final exam consists in a written exam which is a prerequisite for the oral one. The minimum allowed score at the written exam is 15/30.
