Objectives
The objective of this course is that students know and understand circuits and basic components and the operation of a computer. To achieve this objective the student must acquire a series of generic skills, knowledge, skills and attitudes. CB1. Students have demonstrated knowledge and understanding in a study area of the base of general secondary education, and is typically at a level that, whilst supported by advanced textbooks, includes some aspects that will knowledge of the forefront of their field of study; CB2:That students can apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and have competences typically demonstrated through devising and sustaining arguments and solving problems within their field of study; CG2:Being able to generate new ideas (creativity) and anticipate new situations and adapt to Work in teams and interact with others, but also have ability to work independently. CGB2: Understanding and domain the basic concepts of fields and waves, electromagnetism, electrical circuit theory, electronic circuits, physical principles of semiconductors and logic families, electronic and photonic devices and their application to solving engineering problems themselves This will have to achieve results in the areas of learning: RA1: Knowledge and Compresnsión RA4: Research RA5: Applications

Learning activities and methodology
Were given theoretical lessons and practical exercises were conducted in the classroom. (1.5 ECTS) Two partials test will be made which will form part of the continuous assessment note. (1.5 ECTS) There will be a practice in the laboratory. (0.5 ECTS) Simulation practice using software tool. The tool will be presented to the students and will solve some exercises in class. A compulsory simulation exercise that will be part of the continuous assessment note will be raised. (1.5 ECTS) Two mid-term exams. (0.5 ECTS) There will be tutoring online and face-to-face weekly. (0.5 ECTS)
