During the 28 contact hours allotted for the study of English, these objectives are met by means of good student attendance and active participation in class. 6. Learning outcomes expressed in cognitive, technical or professional skills Reading for gist. Reading for specific information. Understanding text structure. Guessing the meaning of words from context. Expressing opinions. Interpreting visual material. Structuring information in a coherent and well-organized text. Writing a report. 7. Teaching methods Main stress on methods and procedures that foster the students’ communicative competence in all four skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing. Special attention paid to the use of interesting, relevant and authentic materials and tasks, meant to involve students both cognitively and affectively.

Page 15: Courses syllabus

While various interaction patterns are used in class (individual work, whole class, pair/groupwork) the last one is definitely favoured by the teacher, because group work and collaborative learning have a positive impact both on the individual student and the group/ team he belongs to.

4. Course objective: The objective of this course is to familiarize the students with the essential Internet related notions (applications, practical implementation, protocols, HTML coding). Effective use of the Internet is a "must" for an Electronics engineer and electronic communications are a de facto standard in today's world. 5. Consistency between discipline goals and faculty curriculum All courses in the faculty's curriculum can benefit from this course. Increasingly course materials for students can be found in electronic format (sometimes only in electronic format) on individual laboratories' web pages. The devices and equipment datasheets offered by supply companies and manufacturers steadily migrate from paper to full electronic format (over the Internet or on CD). Many other technical data are present in various forms on the Internet, accessing them being an essential component of the professional activity of an electronics engineer. During their future careers in electronics, students will inevitably find themselves in the situation to find information over the Internet and in turn to create such information. Also, communications over the Internet have become a mandatory component of professional or personal activities in all fields. 6. Learning outcomes expressed in cognitive, technical or professional skills 1. Cognitive skills: - use of a browser for internet browsing, advanced level (security, caching) - use of various methods of electronic communication, advanced level (e - mail client configuration, security, instant messaging, forum, blog, chat, FTP, P2P) - information ever the Internet, advanced (search engines, accurate methods, RSS) 2. Technical Skills - network planning, beginner level (physical implementation, devices, wiring, TCP/IP configuration) - coding/modifying HTML web pages, advanced - coding/modifying dynamic web pages, beginner level (CSS, Javascript, PHP, SQL introductory notions) 3. Professional Skills - implementation of datasheets/information in electronic format, medium level

Page 40: Courses syllabus

- implementation of supervisory control and data acquisition applications via Internet protocols (SCADA), beginner level (user interface) 7. Procedures used in teaching:

1. The course consists of oral presentations using computer/projector, with the support infrastructure present in the classrooms of the Faculty. Students have the right to interrupt the exposure at any time with questions, followed by a dialogue between teacher and student on the topic of the question. 2. Laboratory activities begin with a short oral presentation to introduce the current theme, after which students apply and experiment with the concepts contained in the laboratory assignments under the guidance of the teacher. Laboratory infrastructure consists in a network of 10 computers connected to the Internet, laboratory assignments being available on-line: http://rf-opto.etti.tuiasi.ro. This type of activity encourages the dialogue between teacher and student, which becomes an important component of teaching process. 8. Evaluation system:

Teaching methods

• Teaching the course is done by exposing the theoretical concepts accompanied by examples and applications and the projection of demonstration simulation or of materials available to students via the website. It seeks to initially understand the phenomena on an intuitive basis, supplemented by rigorous justification and demonstration of the key issues, highlighting the relevant issues in the engineering practice. During the lecture, an active dialogue with students is stimulated as a mechanism for setting the information submitted in the lecture. Applications are based both on the material taught in class and on the students individual documenting, guided by the teacher, the students having access to certain resources on the website of the discipline. Students receive design tasks that have to be solved as individual projects, receive guidance on the steps to

Page 65: Courses syllabus

be followed and use the software environments available in the laboratories of the Department of Electronics Fundamentals to simulate their designed circuits

The level of instruction, both theoretical and applied, is adjusted to the level of preparedness of students resulted from the dialogue during the course and the ongoing activities evaluation, focusing, on the one hand, on bringing a larger number of students above the average level of competencies of the discipline and, on the other hand, on guiding the very good students to deepen their skills.

4. Course objectives: - to explain physical effects of microwave field propagation - to promote familiarity with individual microwave circuit components - to provide a means of building microwave circuits - to realise projects by integrating various systems from microwave, antenna, and communication technology 5. Correlation between discipline objectives and curriculum:

Microwave engineering as a subject brings together knowledge from several other subjects that are studied in undergraduate programmes in e.g. electrical engineering. The relationships between currents and voltages from electrical circuit theory are combined with the electromagnetic fields studied in electromagnetics and optics, through the dependencies between flowing charges and propagating fields. Every engineer who works with electronics at frequencies of about 1GHz or higher needs to know at least the basics of microwave engineering. In modern electronics and electrical engineering an alternative to the term "microwave engineering" is therefore in practice "high-frequency electronics". 6. Learning outcomes expressed in cognitive, technical or professional skills After the course the participants should be able to: - Apply electromagnetc theory to calculations regarding waveguides and transmission lines - Describe, analyse and design simple microwave circuits and devices e g matching circuits, couplers, antennas and amplifiers - Describe and coarsely design common systems: radar and microwave transmission links - Describe common devices such as microwave high-speed transistors and ferrite devices - Handle microwave equipment and be able to make measurements. 7.

4. Course objectives: The course is structured in two parts: one with a truely theoratical nature (regarding the fundamental and methodological aspects of management) and the second one being developed on a management simulation software-like structure that creates a competitive environment – involving a business market – for two to eight companies that produce and sell the same product. The data generated by the sofware program offers the participants the opportunity to pratice reading and interprinting financial reports and the competiton motivates them to identify the factors that influence the production, marketing and financial decisions of a company in order to relate them to the principals of concurational economy. The goal of the training is concentrated in the following objectives: - studying the effects of business decisions; - identifying the links and relations existent within the departaments of a company; - involvement in training exercises regarding decision-making aspects in a competitive environment; - applying technological, economical and managerial knowledge; - development of team-work and communication abilities; - elaboration of a strategy that will facilitate the achievement of the company’s goals, the implementation and follow-up of its effects in time; - development of an ethical attitude in the business environment. 5. Correlation between discipline objectives and curriculum:

The subject’s objectives are established so that they contribute to the training of the specialists who will be working in a competitive environment by ensuring the development of the necessary competences in order for them to be able to operate with specific methods and adequate management indicators. The students will also have the opportunity to practice their abilities of maximizing the value of an economical organization and of ensuring the competitiveness through the price of the produced/ commercialized products. The objectives of the subject are reached by the use of previously gained knowledge (such as the one from subjects EDIS 304, EDIC 305 and EDOS 312) and by sustaining the specific goals of subjects that will be studied in the future (such as EDIC 407, EDID 412).

The objectives outlined above correspond to the requirements of the curriculum and to its main aim – that of training future specialists in the field of electronics and telecommunications, able to take part in social and professional interactions in international contexts.
