1.
Outline
Electric and electronic engineering are used in every field of technology. The operation of modern aircraft and spacecraft relies on accurate measurement and control technologies based on electric and electronic engineering.
This course consists of lectures in the classroom with exercises dealing with practical problems. Important contents to be learned in this course are:
1. characteristics of PN junctions, diodes and transistors
2. power supply and rectification circuit
3. various electronic circuits for amplification, oscillation, modulation, etc.
4. measurement and control devices for aircraft
Students are expected to acquire the knowledge and techniques related to DP2.
2.
Objectives
The first objective is to learn and understand the basic knowledge of diodes and transistors and there functions in electronic circuit.
The second objective is to understand how various electronic circuits work for, such as, rectification, amplification, modulation and demodulation, etc.
The third objective is to learn how electric and electronic technologies are used in aircraft, especially in small unmanned aircraft.
3.
Grading Policy
Grading policy is based on the results of final examination (80%) and on exercise answers at each class (20%).

5.
Requirements (Assignments)
This course is the extension of the course "Basic Electric and Electronic Engineering" in the 1-st grade. Students should have basic understanding on the contents of that course. Student should also have basic understanding on related fields in mathematics, such as, differentials, integrals, triangular and logarithmic functions, complex numbers and other basic mathematics.
When students are lacking in these, they are required to study these matters beforehand.
Before each class, students should prepare for the class by studying with the textbook or with related materials,and write down the things hard to understand in a notebook.
At the end of each class, exercise questions useful for review are given to students. After the class, students should review the things learned and write down the exercise answers on an answer sheet. The answer sheet should be submitted at the beginning of the next class. After submission, the answers are explained in the class and students should understand and write down the procedure to reach correct answers.
Before and after the class together, students should spend at least two hours in average for the above-mentioned preparation, review and exercise work, and in this course, students should spend at least 30 hours in total.
