IE1206 Embedded Electronics 7.5 credits
In this course you will learn about electrical circuits and the function of the basic components in electrical circuits. You will learn to analyze time independent as well as time dependent circuits. After the course you will understand how electrical curcuits work and gain experience in building and measuring them. The course will give you a solid ground for future studies within electronics.
