The course provides students with knowledge and understanding of the basics of: circuit theory, RC, RL and RLC configurations, transformers, capacitors, inductors and different technologies of transistors. Both classical analysis and computer-based simulations are used to understand the behaviour of the transient and steady-state response of these circuits.

The course explores foundational electronics, encompassing electromagnetic fields, RLC circuits, semiconductor devices, and operational amplifiers. Participants engage in hands-on activities, constructing and testing circuits. Analytical skills are developed for circuit theory analysis both of steady state and transient response. Emphasis on practical proficiency, coupled with transferable skills in effective communication and representation of electronic circuits and experimental results, ensures a comprehensive foundation for success in the realm of electronic circuits.
