Objectives of general skills

• Implement an engineering approach dealing with a set problem taking into account technical, economic and environmental constraints
• Understand the stages of an engineering approach
• Understand the theoretical and methodological fundamentals in science and engineering to solve problems involving these disciplines
• Identify, describe and explain the basic principles of engineering particularly in their specialising field
• Understand laboratory techniques: testing, measuring, monitoring protocol, and security
• Select and rigorously apply knowledge, tools and methods in sciences and engineering to solve problems involving these disciplines
• Understand the fundamentals of project management to carry out a set project, individually or as part of a team
• Respect deadlines and timescales
• Collaborate, work in a team
• Interact effectively with other students to carry out collaborative projects.
• Analyse personal performance within a group
• Communicate in a structured way - both orally and in writing, in French and English - giving clear, accurate, reasoned information
• Use several methods of written and graphic communication: text, tables, equations, sketches, maps, graphs, etc.
• Present analysis or experiment results in laboratory reports

UE's Learning outcomes

model a simple analogue system with a Kirchhoff network, with resistors, capacitors, inductors, independent and dependent sources, coupled inductors, transformers, gyrators, and two-ports;simplify such a circuit (using Thevenin and Norton equivalents, or duality);use mesh or node methods to analyse such a circuit;compute and draw the impulse response and frequency response of such a circuit, in relation with the position of its poles and zeros in the complex plane;synthesize active filters using analytical approximation methods and a cascade of active second-order sections.

UE Content
