Course Structure
The class meets for three
lectures a week, each consisting of 50 minute sessions. There is also one
problem session per week which is also 50 minutes. Approximately 10 assignments
are given out per semester. About half of these are classical homeworks, whereas
the other half are design examples on computer supervised by the TA and the
coordinator. Four midterm exams are applied and the course culminates in a
final exam at the end of the semester.
Computer Resources
On campus assignments are carried out in the PC lab of the department. PSPICE
is run by the students on PC’s during their design exercises.
