• Implement an engineering approach dealing with a set problem taking into account technical, economic and environmental constraints
• Understand the stages of an engineering approach
• Design, evaluate and optimise solutions addressing the problem
• Implement a chosen solution in the form of a drawing, a schema, a plan, a model, a prototype, software and/or digital model
• Identify and acquire the information and skills needed to solve the problem
• 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.
• Communicate in a structured way - both orally and in writing, in French and English - giving clear, accurate, reasoned information
• Argue to and persuade customers, teachers and a board both orally and in writing
• Use several methods of written and graphic communication: text, tables, equations, sketches, maps, graphs, etc.
• Give an effective oral presentation, using presentation materials appropriately
• Present analysis or experiment results in laboratory reports
• Demonstrate thoroughness and independence throughout their studies
• Develop their scientific curiosity and open-mindedness

Learning Outcomes of UE

To understand and exploit the functions of basic electronic components in basic quadrupoles: amplifiers, filters and assemblies for various circuits based on operational amplifiers. To analyze and design under practical constraints, quadrupole assemblies, deduce their global function, their practical role and estimate their performance, especially for smaller measurements chains. To master the different instruments for analog and digital electronic measurements available at the laboratory for measurement of current, voltage, phase shifts and analysis of their basic characteristics, including the calculation of errors. To understand the use of simulation tools for electric circuits and systems.

Content of UE

Introduction to electronic functions and measurement chains. Basic electronic devices: theory and applications, diodes, transistors, amplifiers, filters, function generator, stabilized power supply. Practical application of measurement chains 1: analog-electronic measurement instruments. Practical application of measurement chains 2: digital measurement instruments. Sensors. Practical application of measuring chains: measurement of physical parameters. Methods of measuring electrical signals of medium and large amplitudes

Type of Assessment for UE in Q1

• Written examination
• Practical test
• Quoted exercices

Q1 UE Assessment Comments

Weighting: Evaluation of practical work: 10%. Quoted exercises: 50% (180 min maximum ) Written examination: 40% (180 min maximum - theoretical questions, considerations and exercises on all the course topics to determine if the student has an overview of the course and if he matters it. We try to avoid the simple restitution of a topic without a deep understanding).
