Jacobs Marc (coordinator) | Moyson Koen Aims
The student has insight into how electronic and ICT components influence each other in products, services and systems. He/she is able to coordinate these. The student is able to formulate a clear problem definition, objective and assignment for an electronic or ICT systems in consultation with the client. He/she supports the assignment by means of analysis and research.
The student designs an electronic or ICT system for a product or service, based on the schedule of requirements.
The student masters the main forms and techniques of communication in the sector and uses them purposefully, both verbally and in writing.
(1) The student calculates in an electrical circuit: current, voltage, impedance, power end phase shift.
(2) The student applies the following solution methods correctly: superposition, Kirchhoff, Thevenin
(3) The student calculates the force that current-carrying conductors exert on each other.
(4) The student calculate vectorial and complex arithmetic (normal and goniometric) .
(5) The student interprets vector diagrams correctly.
(6) The student drawn vector diagrams correctly.
(7) The student understands and explains electrical phenomena and applications.

Evaluation
(B-TM-YT7705)
Explanation
| Assessment | Grading scale |
|---|---|
| TOTAL | 1-20/20 scale |
The knowledge, the insight, the competence to calculate values and parameters, and the competence to draw electrical circuit and vector diagrams are tested bij means of exercises. The exam consists of several exercises. Th student may use a calculator and the limited formulary included in the syllabus. In the examination exercises, the student is asked to calculate: currents, voltages, phase shifts, power, electromagnetic forces and/or to draw up vector diagrams.
Each required current, voltage, phase shift, power, force and vector diagram deliver partial points in an exercise. The failure or incorrect calculation/drawing of the required current, voltage, power, force or vector diagram does not result in partial points for that item.
There are 2 evaluation moments:
non-binding interim exam (end of march/ begin april)
exam in examperiod
The mark obtained on the non-binding interim exam is only taken into account if this is higher than the mark obtained for the exam in June. In that case, a weight ratio of 30% for the interim exam and 70% for the June exam is applied to calculated the total mark. If the result of the interim exam is lower than the result of the exam n June, the exam grade of June determines 100% the total grade.
Information about retaking exams
This course unit does not allow partial mark transfers.
