ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS
This course covers the fundamentals of electronic systems. Following a top-down approach from the system level to the device level, the main tools for analyzing modules for analog and digital electronics are presented with emphasis on applications relevant to the automotive area.
FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTRICAL
Fundamentals of Electrical Systems refers to the modelling of electrical phenomena, using the theory of lumped parameters circuits. However, exploiting physical analogies, it is possible to use models and methods of this Subject in to study other physical theories (stationary and unstationary thermal conduction problems, hydraulic problems, etc). Because of the creation of transversal skills, this Subject is included in several Engineering curricula.
Fundamentals of Electrical Systems aims at providing the capability of modelling electrical phenomena in a rigorous way, introducing the method for describing connections of electrical elements and circuits. The main tools to solve electrical circuits will be developed to handle direct current and alternating current circuits. Particular attention will be given to real world applications, especially operating at industrial frequency

ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS
Description
The exam includes a written test and an optional oral test. The oral test can be requested according to the rules described below.
The written exam will be given at the scheduled date and time, as communicated to students and will consist of two parts: Fundamentals of Electrical Systems and Fundamentals of Electronic Systems. Each part has a maximum score of 16 points.
Each part has
* 8 multiple-choice or numerical quizzes for a total of 8 points. If correct, a multiple-choice question is awarded 1 point, an incorrect answer results in 0.25 penalty points. Numerical quizzes are considered correct (1 point) if the numerical value falls within a 5% numerical tolerance (unless otherwise stated).
* A problem with multiple questions: 8 total points.
The problem is a classical exercise to be solved with paper and pen.
Duration
The duration of each module is 50 minutes, for a total of 100 minutes. For Students with special needs, the duration of each module is 65 minutes, for a total of 130 minutes.
Permissible and non-permissible aids
During the exam it is possible to use
* a scientific calculator
* pen, pencil, drafting instruments
* The exam is a “closed book” examination: books and formula sheets are not admitted.
* Everything that is not officially allowed, must be considered as a non-permissible aid.
Cheating is a serious academic offense. Students discovered engaging in such behavior during the exam shall earn a failing grade and their case shall be reported to the Academic authorities for further disciplinary actions.
Grading
The final score is obtained summing up the results of the two parts. The exam is failed if any of the following is verified
* total score (Fundamentals of Electrical Systems and Fundamentals of Electronic Systems) lower than 16 points
* partial score (Fundamentals of Electrical Systems or Fundamentals of Electronic Systems) lower than 7 points
The total score of the two parts will be limited to 30 points in case of higher score.
Oral Exam
Candidates with a positive total score have access to the optional oral examination that consists of a one or two questions related to the course program of both modules. In this case, the final score is the mean value of the written and oral exam. To access the written and oral exam, it is necessary to independently apply through the official registration website.
The oral exam is
* mandatory for students with a non sufficient total score (16 or 17 points)
* mandatory in case of doubts regarding the written exam. In these cases the Students will be informed a few days after the written test
* upon request of the Students
