Knowledge
The student who successfully completes the course will acquire:
solid knowledge of the mathematical tools used in classical field theory;
knowledge of electromagnetic fields and charge interactions;
solid ability in DC and AC circuit analysis;
basic knowledge of analog electronics;
basic knowledge of digital electronics.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
The student must demonstrate the ability to put into practice and to execute, with critical awareness, the activities illustrated or carried out under the guidance of the teacher during the course.
Problem solving is the main tool for assessing the abilities acquired by the student.
During the oral exam, the student must also demonstrate ability to use the appropriate terminology.
