It is recommended that students have previously followed and passed the courses “Fundamentals of Mathematics I”, “Fundamentals of Mathematics II”, “Fundamentals of Mathematics III”, “Components and Circuits”, “Electronics Devices”, “Computing”, “Programming”, and “Electronics I”.
More precisely, students are required to undersand and handle basic concepts about numerical methods, electronics components, analysis and design of electronic circuits, C language, and programmable devices

Electronic systems is a key technology of Telecommunications engineering.

Starting from electronics foundations ("Components and Circuits" and "Electronic Devices"), Digital Electronic Systems are studied from the point of view of software ("Computing" and "Programming") and hardware ("Electronics I"). This course involves the integration of previous acquired knowledge and its particularization to embedded systems.

The knowledge gained in this course will be required to understand more advanced concepts in upper subjects of the degree program, such as "Audiovisual Equipment in Medicine", "Sensors and Wireless Sensor Networks", "Electronics Technology", and "Interdisciplinary Applications in Telecommunications"
