Aims

This module introduces the fundamentals of applied mathematics and electronics, both theoretically and through practical application, building circuits in laboratories. You will also learn to write simple code as a tool for engineering. You will work both individually and as part of a group during this module.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Apply fundamental knowledge of analogue and digital electronics
2.
Demonstrate knowledge of mathematics and electrical engineering theory to the selection of electronic components
3.
Create a program to operate embedded intelligent controllers
4.
Design basic control algorithms and circuits

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:SI Units Ohms law, measurement of voltage, current and resistance. Basic components (Resistors, Capacitors, LED's), Basic Transistor operation (NPN transistors as switches), Operational amplifiers (inverting, non-inverting amplifiers, voltage follower). Logic Gates and Implementation: DeMorgan's Theorems. Combinational logic and Boolean algebra expression from logic diagrams and truth tables. Truth tables from logic diagrams and Boolean expressions. Commutative, associative and distributive properties. K-Map from truth table and Boolean expression. Embedded Controllers: Digital I/O, Analog I/O, PWM, Program design High-level language constructs: variables, conditional statements, loops, string handling, input-output, data structures, functions.
