Skills and learning outcomes
Description of contents: programme
- Introduction to instrumentation systems. - Electronic circuits acquisition and signal conditioning - Measurement of physical magnitudes of sensors - Characterization of different types of sensors: temperature, position, optical, etc.
Learning activities and methodology
The teaching methodology will include: - 40% (1.2 ECTS credits). Theoretical-practical classes where the knowledge that students must acquire will be presented. The students will have at their disposal the class notes and will have basic reference texts to facilitate the follow-up of the classes and the development of the subsequent work. - 40% (1.2 ECTS credits. Problem classes, in which the problems proposed to the students are developed and discussed. - 20% (0.6 ECTS credits. Laboratory practices where the student analyses, implements and measures characteristic parameters of electronic circuits of real application, using instrumentation and measurement techniques in the laboratory. - Tutorials. Individual assistance (individual tutorials) or group (collective tutorials) to students by the teacher. - Individual or group work of the student
