Course Description

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. Operational amplifiers, diodes and transistors, and electronic circuits are mainly learned in the course.
Students are expected to acquire the knowledge and techniques related to DP2.

Course Objectives

Important contents to be learned in this course are:
1. various characteristics of AC circuits: frequency response and time-domain response
2. basics and applications of operational amplifiers
3. principles and characteristics of diodes and transistors .
4. electric or electronic devices for unmanned aerial vehicles .
The objective of the couse is to learn and understand the above contents and to be able to apply these to basic applications.

Grading Policy

Grading policy is based on the results of final examination (80%) and on exercise answers at each class (20%).
