will be explained and the student will be able to solve problems about voltage, difference of
voltage, Kirchoff’s laws and the resolution of simple circuits of continuous current. Besides
passive elements in circuits resistors, inductors and capacitos will be studied.
The student will be instructed in the circuit analysis in sinusoidal steady state and its
fundamental concepts such as: mean and effective value, power, phasor concept and phase
shift.
Show the student the difficulties of working in time domain due to the differential equations
obtained using Kirchoff’s laws. These problems will be solved using mathematical
transformations that change these differential equations into algebraic equations, making the
resolution of the problems easier although in some cases the interpretation of the results will
be more difficult to understand. The concepts of complex impedance and transformed
circuit to complex domain will be introduced.
Understand the different active elements (sources) that excite circuits such as to know the
equivalence between real current sources and voltage.
Introduce the student to the concept of dependent generator and its application in the
modelling of circuits (bipolar transistor, FET; MOS…).

Simplify circuit analysis using different theorems derivated from the properties of linearlity
of circuits that allow the analysis of circuits with generators of different frequencies,
superposition, Norton’s and Thevenin’s theorems, impedance matching, Everitt’s theorem.
Know how to characterise a net (active, passive, dissipative, non dissipative by using loss
functions, defined by logarithmic units which are very used in telecommunications.
In the laboratory, the student will be introduced to the basic instrumentation of electrical
labs and to obtain the ability using this equipment, power supplies, signal generators,
oscilloscopes, multimeter and how to measure parameters in circuits.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
The course is divided in three parts, corresponding to each part a percentage of the final
mark as it can be seen:
First partial: digital electronic, 45 %

Second partial: analogue electronic, 40 %
Practices: digital and analogue electronic, 15%
Everyone of the parts will have its independent evaluation and must be passed individually.
It will be considered free, if the mark is equal or higher than 4 points (over 10).
The final mark will be obtained by the sum of the ponderated marks, obtained in everyone of
the different parts of the course, but only if all the parts have been passed individually.
Evaluation of the theoretical part of the course
A partial exam at the end of the periods will be done, corresponding to the contents of each
period. The obtained mark in the partials will be considered and freed until the convocatory
of september of the academic year, if it is always higher or equal than 4 points (above 10).
In June and September, final exams will be done (official convocatories) that will be
composed of two parts, corresponding each of them to the contents of every period. The
attendance of the final exam implies the loss of one convocatory even if the student only has
to do one exam corresponding to one period. The exams of the theoretical part will be
composed by a series of questions where documentations is forbidden and one or some
problems where books or notes can be consulted.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
A partial written exam at the end of the first period and final exam at the end of the course.
The students that have passed the partial exam, only have to do the written exam of the
second period in the final exam. The final mark of the course will be consisted in the
obtained marks of the two periods. There will be another final exam opportunity in
september.
REQUIREMENTS
The basic mathematical knowledge acquired during secondary education should be enough
for this course. In a more concrete way: practical knowledge of real numbers, elemental
functions, practical calculus of derivatives and simple calculus of primitives and its relation
to the calculus of areas, etc.
However, in the practice, the student often shows lacks, above all, in abstract reasoning,
formal reasoning and the comprehension of concepts. So it is important that the student tries
to solve these lacks.

OBJECTIVES
This subject expects to be practical, and to promote the student participation. It is divided
into two parts: theory and laboratory.
Theory part tries to introduce the student to real environment of project management. To get
it, it proposes two approaches. On one hand, it examines theoretical and practical aspects
around a project; it analyzes the stages for its achievement. On the other hand, it analyzes
business environment where a manager works: business meetings, presentation techniques,
human relations … The student has to participate actively by means of simulating real
situations in business environment.
Laboratory part is a complement of the theory part. The student should manage a real
project, he has to solve financial and management issues. For this reason, he will learn to use
basic software tools for managing projects.
The goal of the subject is to show the student how the business environment will be where
he will manage projects, due to the practical character; the development will be established
around the student. He will decide how and how much he will participate in the subject.
Because of that, it will be valued some aspects like commitment, to finish task on time,
initiative, to work in groups.
