- Electrical Power Engineering Fundamentals (1st Season, 2nd Semester). It is STRONGLY recommended to have it passed.

By the end of this subject, students will be able to have: 1. knowledge and understanding of the theoretical fundamentals of electronics engineering and their practical applications; 2. the ability to apply their knowledge and understanding to identify, formulate and solve problems about electronics engineering and their main industrial applications by using both theoretical and practical established methods as well as basic electronic design rules for their real implementation. 3. the ability to apply their knowledge and understanding to develop and design electronic systems that comply with defined and specified technical requirements; 4. the ability to design and conduct appropriate experiments about electronics engineering to characterize and implement basic electronic systems, to properly analyse and interpret the results/data obtained from an engineering point of view, and to draw conclusions about the electronic system performance; 5. the ability to properly apply the technical skills acquired for the experimental evaluation of an electronic system in an electronics engineering lab facility; 6. the ability to combine theory and practice to solve problems about electronics engineering
