Students will acquire concrete application knowledge of electronic instrument design, which is otherwise obtained only through long-term development practice. Emphasis is laid on understanding the physical essence of parasitic events so that their knowledge can be applied to other cases. Students will learn to foresee and anticipate the appearance of many problems arising in the development of new instruments in both the electrical and the mechanical parts of the design. They will be able to design supply distribution and its blocking, implement shielding critical parts of equipment, they will know the application principles for various electronic circuit elements. They will be familiar with the principles of designing instrument cases inclusive of the lay-out of control and indicator elements on the front panel. They will be informed about the design of refrigeration of power elements inclusive of heat removal from instrument cases. The will learn the methodology of debugging electronic systems.

Basic knowledge of electrical engineering theory and elementary basics of analog and digital technology is required.

Techning methods include lectures, computer laboratories and practical laboratories. Course is taking advantage of e-learning (Moodle) system. Students have to write a single project/assignment during the course.

Requirements for the completion of a course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated for every academic year.
Up to 20 points can be had for design exercises. Part of the design exercises can be in the form of individual project. The examination proper is a written examination and up to 80 points can be awarded for it. The examination is focused on testing the knowledge of application principles in the design of electronic instruments, from the viewpoint of both electronic and mechanical solutions.

To be introduced to practical principles of designing electronic instruments and devices as regards both electrical and mechanical aspects. The course is practically suitable for all branches of BSc studies because it offers a close look at the actual work of a designer of electronic instruments and devices.

Design exercises are obligatory. If part of the design exercises is in the for a individual project, submitting the project is one of the conditions for awarding the credit. Justified absence from design exercises can be made up after prior arrangement with the instructor, usually in the credit week.

26 hours, compulsory

eLearning: currently opened course
