Learning outcomes
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
The course provides the knowledge and the understanding the issues and methodology for the design of high-level complex electronic systems.
CAPACITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
The students will apply the knowledge and will be able to apply the methodology for the design of high-level complex electronic systems.
TRANSVERSAL SKILLS:
During the course the student will develop a comprehensive project in group or alone and he will develop a report describing in full the project. This will stimulate the ability to work in groups, and to prepare a project report.

Development of the examination
LEARNING EVALUATION METHODS
The examination consists of a discussion of a project developed by the student and an oral exam on the course topics. The project can also be done in groups, with a maximum of four students. The topic of the project will be agreed with the teacher. The student should discuss with the teacher during the progress of the project.

LEARNING EVALUATION CRITERIA
The student, in the course of the oral examination, will present and discuss the project developed and he will demonstrate the knowledge and the methodology and technical expertise in the design of electronic systems. The teacher will assess the complexity, completeness and correctness of the project, the study of the state of the art on the subject, the results obtained and the clarity in the presentation of the work.

LEARNING MEASUREMENT CRITERIA
Attribution of the final mark out of thirty

FINAL MARK ALLOCATION CRITERIA
