Electronics

Technical Training for Professionals

To be determined

Intro

A comprehensive course for non-electronic engineers to gain insight, practical knowledge and skills in analog electronics, essential to work in projects together with electronic engineers and to learn how to handle electronic measurement instruments.

The training will consist of 15 evening lessons of 3 hours (5 PM - 8 PM)  or 4 hours (5 PM - 9 PM) in case of a hands-on session and tests. 

Objective

After completion of this course the participant has gained:

  • Basic knowledge of analog electronics to ease the communication with electronic engineers;
  • Practical experience with electrical measurements and equipment, simple usage of an analog simulator.

Intended for

This course is intended for engineers (of technical college / university level)
working in research, development and/or engineering.

Prior knowledge: The knowledge on electricity as discussed in the course 'Electronics for non-electronic engineers - Basics electricity' (ENE-BE) is required to attend this course.
