Introduction to Electronic Engineering Course

Course title

Course description

Learning up to high school has primarily involved passive learning, such as listening to teachers' lectures and memorizing important points or how to solve exercises. In contrast, in university-level learning, an active approach is essential, including finding unfamiliar topics, conducting literature reviews and experiments for analysis, and presenting one's own thoughts. It also involves engaging with peers who have diverse intellectual interests, expressing one's own thoughts, listening and comprehending others' words, and collaborating to consolidate ideas.

In the lectures related to Introduction to Electronic Engineering Course, fostering the ability to convey and summarize one's thoughts is achieved through an approach to learning that involves moving from being taught in classes to self-driven learning. This approach also involves contemplating fundamental physical phenomena related to electronics engineering.

Purpose of class

Students will develop the ability to explain concepts clearly and accurately to others. Additionally, to enhance their enthusiasm for learning electronics engineering, they will construct and measure circuits as illustrated in electrical circuit textbooks to deepen their understanding of circuits. Furthermore, they will engage in programming activities involving graphical representation, data manipulation, and control.

Goals and objectives

Students will understand the appropriate learning attitudes for university-level education and, with a vision for their future, be able to establish what they should learn during their time at university.
Students will be able to analyze and report on fundamental physical phenomena related to electronics engineering within a given time frame.
Students will be able to clearly communicate their opinions to others and provide accurate responses to questions from their peers in an easily understandable manner.

Evaluation method and criteria

Attendance in lectures is a prerequisite. Students will be evaluated based on their engagement with assignments (40%, corresponding to 'Goals and Objectives' 1 and 2), reports (40%, corresponding to 'Goals and Objectives' 2), and group discussions (20%, corresponding to 'Goals and Objectives' 3). Achievement of the goals is deemed to be reached with a score of 60% or higher. Attaining the required level of the task specified in the report and actively participating in discussions will result in a 60% grade or above.
