Programme learning outcomes
  1. In-depth knowledge and comprehension of complex concepts and phenomena in the field of electronics and telecommunications, methods and theories explaining the dependences between them, as well as main development trends in electronics and telecommunications; knowledge of the fundamentals of life cycle of electronic and telecommunication devices and systems.
  2. Ability to apply the knowledge to identify, formulate and solve non-typical problems related to electronics and telecommunications, to plan and to conduct adequate experiments, including measurements and numerical simulations also with the aid of self-developed methods and tools, to analyse and to interpret obtained results so as to draw conclusions.
  3. Ability to communicate effectively with a diverse range of audiences using specialised terminology from electronics and telecommunications also with the aid of English language at B2+ level according to Common European Framework of Reference for Languages; ability to present and to evaluate different opinions and attitudes and to lead and take part in a debate.
Grading policies To obtain positive assessment of the course, student must receive positive grades from both labora-tory and lecture parts. Laboratories are assessed based on participation and reports. In the case of lecture part, student must obtain positive grade from the written test and elaborated questions to obtained case studies. Lectures are conducted partially with the aid of Case Teaching method.
Course content LECTURES Basic laws of thermodynamics; steady state and transient heat conduction in solids; self-heating effect in electronic elements and circuits; analysis of heat dissipating element localisation. Principles of heat exchange mechanisms; heat transfer with the aid of natural and forced convection; passive and active cooling systems: air cooling systems, liquid cooling systems, phase change cooling systems, thermoelectric modules; modern materials for thermal management; thermal interface materials. Systems harvesting the energy from waste heat for electronics systems. LABORATORIES Laboratory consists of several exercises illustrating lecture contents. They cover simulation of thermal and electro-thermal simple problems and examination of different cooling set-ups for electronic systems and thermal management materials used to effectively transfer and dissipate the heat to ambient. OTHER Consultation of elaborated Case Study forms. Written test.
