KH1251 Electrical Measurements, Control Theory and Practice 6.0 credits

Administer About course

The course in electrical engineering will give you the knowledge you need to be able to read, understand and benefit from books and magazine articles on electrical engineering and also printed matter, such as catalogs and data sheets on electrical components and equipment.

After completing a course in electrical engineering, you should be able to independently solve simple tasks of an electrical engineering nature, which you may be faced with. This may apply to measurements with electrical methods, choice of motor to operate a machine, etc.
