It is recommended that students have previously followed and passed the courses "Components and Circuits", "Electronics Devices", "Electronics I", "Electronics II", and "Digital Electronics Systems".
More precisely, students are required to undersand and handle basic concepts about electronics components, analysis and design of electronics circuits, power conversion, and digital electronics systems.
This elective course, taught in the penultimate semester of the degree program, aims to integrate the knowledge acquired in the areas of electronics and projects. For this purpose, those knowledge will be applied to a guided design project of a Printed Circuit Board.
Throughout the course, basic knowledg acquired in the subjects "Electronic Devices", "Electronics I", and "Digital Electronics Systems" will be applied more directly.
Customized design of printed circuit boards and their manufacturing process, as well as a basic knowledge of electronic technology, open a wide range of professional opportunities in the field of engineering.
