Part 1 of the study guide is available from the EECE Undergraduate ClickUP page and provides rules and policies that are generally applicable to all undergraduate modules presented by the Department of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering. 1. GENERAL PREMISE AND EDUCATIONAL APPROACH The electronics industry has experienced significant growth since the development of the first solid- state semiconductor devices and is one of the most important technologies that can improve the general standard of living. To further sustain this technological growth, it is necessary for engineers in the field to have a sound academic and practical knowledge of semiconductor devices and electronic circuits. This will ensure that meaningful decisions are made by designers of electronic systems concerning the available circuits and components, their performance and limitations. 2. ARTICULATION WITH ECSA OUTCOMES The programs presented by the Department of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering have been designed to meet the eleven ECSA outcomes that qualify the competencies required by professional engineers. While most modules contain at least a small component of a number of ECSA outcomes, only the main outcomes that are addressed in a module are indicated for the specific module. This module is presented at exit level for ELOs 1, and developmental level for ELO 2. Refer to the General EECE Study Guide (Part 1) for a complete overview of the association of ECSA outcomes with the modules in each degree program. 3.

Location of the Laboratories Engineering 3 building, Laboratory A & B. 3.2. Consulting hours Kindly refer to the module website for specific arrangements with regard to consultation hours. Hours for consultation of lecturers, tutors and teaching assistants will be announced at the beginning of the semester, and will also be given on the announcement page of the module web page. Students may consult lecturers, tutors and teaching assistants only during the consulting hours as indicated, or by appointment. This policy also holds before tests and exams. In other words, lecturers, tutors and teaching assistants are only available during their normal consulting hours on the day before a test or examination. This policy aims to encourage students to plan their work and to work continuously. 4. STUDY MATERIALS AND PURCHASES 4.1. Prescribed textbooks  Sergio Franco, Design with Operation Amplifiers and Analog Integrated Circuits, Fourth Edition, ISBN 978-1-259-25313-3. It is compulsory for each student to obtain an original hard copy.  Class notes are made available on the module website. 4.2. Other prescribed material  The latest version of OrCAD is available on the lab PCs.  A programmable calculator is not a requirement for this module. Any pocket calculator may be used during assessments. 4.3. Recommended material  There are much relevant materials on the Internet and books in the library. Students will be expected to make use of these sources to complete their tasks. 4.4. Components Each student will be expected to purchase a number of components to complete the practical assignments. Students who do not acquire the necessary components will not be able to complete the practical assignments. Students should acquire components as soon as possible, as suppliers may run out of stock if all the students try to purchase components the day before the practical. 5. LEARNING ACTIVITIES 5.1. Contact time and learning hours Number of lectures per week: Three formal lectures One tutorial session Laboratory work: Three practical assignments 5 This module carries a weighting of 16 credits, indicating that an average student should spend some 160 hours to master the required skills (including time for preparation for tests and examinations). This means that on average you should devote some 10 hours of study time per week to this module. The scheduled contact time is approximately four hours per week, which means that another six hours per week of own study time should be devoted to the module. 5.2. Lectures Lectures are presented in a style of co-operative and student-centred learning. Lecture content and structure will be based on the prescribed and recommended study material. Note, however, that various problems and examples that are not in the textbook or class notes will be discussed during lectures, and this content may be examinable. Attendance of lectures is compulsory and register of attendance may be taken to determine which students bring their part and work consistently. Refer to the general EECE study guide for the departmental strategy to deal with absence from lectures. Important announcements with respect to laboratory sessions, assignments, tutorials and discussions of test content will be made during lecture times. Students need to take note that only selected components of content, assessments and arrangements delivered in face-to-face lectures will be made available online, e.g. announcements regarding tests, assignments, memoranda (optional), lecture notes (optional), etcetera. Lecturers are not obliged to publish all content delivered during lectures online as a hybrid teaching and learning strategy will be followed where a significant component of the teaching and learning activities is face- to-face. Please note that lectures that cover the practical component of the module are considered as part of the practical component of the course and attendance of these lectures is thus compulsory. Progressive evaluation and presence tests: Students are expected to prepare for classes. The lecturer may at any time take down a class test on the material covered thus far in the module as well as the material that had to be prepared for that specific lecture. These test marks may contribute to the semester mark. 5.3. Hybrid teaching and learning approach Refer to the section on hybrid teaching and learning in the General EECE Study Guide. In this module a number of hybrid approaches to teaching and learning will be followed. The use of each in the module will be discussed and explained during lecture periods. Hybrid tools that will be used include:  Extensive use of ClickUP to archive learning materials  Electronic grading through the AGS (autograding software)  Video tutorials on selected topics  Instructional videos on selected topics This list may be expanded during the semester if additional suitable hybrid teaching and learning tools are discovered. 6 5.4. Tutorial classes Tutorial classes will focus on problems and exercises related to the subject matter, with the specific intent to prepare students for tests and examinations. Problem sets will be available prior to the tutorial, and students must attempt (during their own time) these in small groups of two to five persons. Active participation from each student in a group is mandatory. An assistant lecturer and/or tutor(s) will be available for assistance and discussion during tutor classes. Memoranda for tutorials will not be made available. Note that tutorials are not to be handed in for evaluation. 5.5. Laboratory work Details about the three practical assignments will be made available on the module web site. Each practical will be discussed during the scheduled practical lectures, which are compulsory to gain entrance to the examination. Please consult the EECE Undergraduate ClickUP website for general procedures regarding the practical sessions, such as the laboratory rules and after-hours access to the labs. It should be clear that the experience gained in the practical sessions is expected to become part of your general electronics knowledge. This means that questions covering your practical work may appear in your ENE310 tests and examinations. Also, semester and class tests may incorporate datasheets. The following arrangements are applicable:  Practical assignments and reports will be done in groups of 4 or fewer students per group. Before the first practical lecture, students must form groups at their own discretion, and load the information on ClickUp. Where students are registered for ENE310 and EMK310 concurrently, it is recommended that the practical groups for the two uploads/Litterature/ ene310-study-guide-2017.pdf
