Upon successfully completing this course, students will be able to:
Have knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of electrical engineering. This learning outcome is assessed through systematic analysis exercises of direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) circuits, balanced three-phase systems, evaluation tests, and laboratory practices (midterm exams, final exam, and three laboratory sessions).
Be aware of the multidisciplinary context of electrical engineering. This learning outcome is assessed through midterm and final exams, as well as laboratory practices, highlighting the connections between electrical engineering and other industrial engineering disciplines, such as electronics, thermal engineering, mechanical engineering, and environmental aspects.
Apply their knowledge and understanding to identify, formulate, and solve electrical engineering problems using established methods. This learning outcome is assessed through evaluation tests and specific exercises related to fundamental electrical quantities (voltage, current, and power).
Design and conduct experiments, interpret data, and draw conclusions. This learning outcome is assessed through three laboratory sessions in the Electrical Circuits Laboratory, covering direct current, alternating current, and three-phase systems. The acquired knowledge is later evaluated in the final exams.
Develop technical and laboratory skills. This learning outcome is assessed through the submission of laboratory reports, in which students' practical competencies in using electrical instrumentation (oscilloscopes, multimeters, etc.) are evaluated.
Combine theory and practice to solve electrical engineering problems. This learning outcome is assessed through various laboratory exercises and reports, where real circuits are analyzed, and systematic circuit-solving techniques taught in the course are applied.
