2 Equivalent Courses: Exclusive Courses: EE2003 Circuit Theory and EE2106 Electronic Devices & Circuits and EE2170 Analogue Electronics Laboratory Nil Part II Course Details 1. Abstract The aim of this course is to provide students with more in-depth analytical techniques used for solving linear circuits, and principles and concepts of some commonly used semiconductor devices. 2. Course Intended Learning Outcomes (CILOs) (CILOs state what the student is expected to be able to do at the end of the course according to a given standard of performance.) No. CILOs # Weighting* (if applicable) Discovery-enriched curriculum related learning outcomes (please tick where appropriate) A1 A2 A3 1. Apply operational amplifiers to more complex circuit 2. Apply and analyze the transient response of RLC circuits 3. Analyze regulating circuits 4. Analyze linear circuits by transformation into two-ports equivalent networks 5. Apply analytical methods to solve for small signal amplifying circuit * If weighting is assigned to CILOs, they should add up to 100%. 100% # Please specify the alignment of CILOs to the Gateway Education Programme Intended Learning outcomes (PILOs) in Section A of Annex. A1: Attitude Develop an attitude of discovery/innovation/creativity, as demonstrated by students possessing a strong sense of curiosity, asking questions actively, challenging assumptions or engaging in inquiry together with teachers. A2: Ability Develop the ability/skill needed to discover/innovate/create, as demonstrated by students possessing critical thinking skills to assess ideas, acquiring research skills, synthesizing knowledge across disciplines or applying academic knowledge to self-life problems. A3: Accomplishments Demonstrate accomplishment of discovery/innovation/creativity through producing /constructing creative works/new artefacts, effective solutions to real-life problems or new processes. 2

3 3. Teaching and Learning Activities (TLAs) (TLAs designed to facilitate students achievement of the CILOs.) TLA Brief Description CILO No. Hours/week (if applicable) Lecture and Tutorial Laboratory Lectures aims to explain and illustrate the key concepts involved in this courses; Tutorial aims to help students in familiar with those concepts though practicing some in-class exercise Conduct experiments to deepen the key concepts learnt during lectures 4 hrs/wk (3 hrs Lect, 1 hr Tut) 3 hrs/wk 4. Assessment Tasks/Activities (ATs) (ATs are designed to assess how well the students achieve the CILOs.) Assessment Tasks/Activities CILO No. Weighting* Remarks Continuous Assessment: 40% assignments, in-class exercise and participation, quizzes, lab/mini project 40% Examination: 60% (duration: 2hrs, if applicable) * The weightings should add up to 100%. 100% Remark: To pass the course, students are required to achieve at least 35% in course work and 35% in the examination. Also, 75% laboratory attendance rate must be obtained. 3

4 5. Assessment Rubrics (Grading of student achievements is based on student performance in assessment tasks/activities with the following rubrics.) Assessment Task Criterion Excellent (A+, A, A-) Good (B+, B, B-) Adequate (C+, C, C-) Marginal (D) Failure (F) 1. Examination Achievement in High Significant Moderate Basic Not even reaching CILOs marginal levels 2. Coursework Achievement in CILOs High Significant Moderate Basic Not even reaching marginal levels 4
