Course Content

Laboratory practicals and independant work:

The laboratory practicals support the theoretical course. The practicals should be prepared beforehand and are carried out independently by the student. The Integrated Project (Geïntegreerd Practicum in Dutch) consists of a series of guided lab sessions and a large portion of independent work. During the labs, students will be confronted with various analog and digital electronic circuits of intermediate and advanced complexity, as routinely found in modern electronic applications, and combine them into embedded systems. Students are also trained in tools and methods for structured electronic design, project execution and testing. Discussed topics include, but are not limited to:

  • electronic measurement of analog and digital systems
  • debugging tools and techniques
  • project management
  • embedded hardware, VHDL and firmware development
  • sensors and actuators
  • wireless communication

AD3: develops a professional attitude  (BaLO 9, 10, 13)

Learning Outcomes

  • BaLO_1 To possess in-depth, application-oriented knowledge, understanding and practical skills related to mathematics and science, directed towards engineering applications.
  • BaLO_2 To possess application-oriented knowledge, understanding and skills about engineering sciences and engineering techniques.
  • BaLO_3 To solve practical engineering problems from an understanding of the basic theory and from an understanding of basic methods for the schematisation and modelling of processes or systems.
  • BaLO_4 Implementation-oriented and analytical problem-solving, design, development and creative innovation with a focus on the operational implications of the specific case.
  • BaLO_5 To effectively look up scientific and technical information, to evaluate and process such information and to refer to it correctly.
  • BaLO_6 Based on acquired insight, to select the appropriate methods of research, design and solution and appropriately apply the results in a scientific and effective manner.
  • BaLO_7 To formulate a problem within a clearly defined framework and to independently plan and develop an engineering project, with attention to the boundary conditions affecting its technical realization.
  • BaLO_8 To demonstrate a research attitude: accuracy, critical reflection, scientific and technical curiosity, justification of choices.
  • BaLO_9 To demonstrate an engineering attitude: attention to planning, to technical, economic and societal factors as well as managerial implications, assessment of the risks and feasibility of the proposed approach or solution, being result-driven and achieving effective solutions, innovative thinking.
  • BaLO_10 To correctly handle the scientific and discipline-specific terminology in language relevant to the programme.
  • BaLO_11 To present and communicate the results of technical and scientific work, in writing, orally and visually. 
  • BaLO_12 To be able to work in a team in different roles, to have insight in one's performance; to take shared responsibility for determining and achieving the goals of the team.
  • BaLO_13 To act in an ethical and socially responsible manner with attention to technical, economic, human and sustainability aspects.
  • BaSLO_14-ELO To possess application-oriented knowledge, understanding and skills in the broad field of engineering sciences and engineering techniques for electronics and ICT engineering.
 

Grading

The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
Other Exam determines 100% of the final mark.

Within the Other Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:

  • Other Exam with a relative weight of 100 which comprises 100% of the final mark.

    Note: Exam time 1st session:
    - Realisation project and technical-scientific development: 70% (not transferred to 2nd session)
    - Written report: 20% (not transferred to 2nd session)
    - Oral presentation: 10% (not transferred to 2nd session)
    Exam time 2nd session:
    - Realisation project and technical-scientific development: 70%
    - Written report: 20%
    - Oral presentation: 10%

    Not observing the laboratory regulations during the preparation, execution and/or reporting of the practicum, may result in a zero for the considered practicum.

Additional info regarding evaluation
An illegitimate absence of more than 25 % at the laboratory practicals leads to an absent 
quotation for the laboratory practicals. The sanctions taken in the first exam session are 
transferred to the second exam session.
Allowed unsatisfactory mark
The supplementary Teaching and Examination Regulations of your faculty stipulate whether an allowed unsatisfactory mark for this programme unit is permitted.
