Curriculum
Programme Structure
The programme is structured in 5 modules, listed below in order of study.
01
Fundamentals of Applied Electronics, Circuit Behaviour and Fault Types
- Concept of electronic system and differences between analog, digital, mixed, power and control circuits
- Essential electrical principles: voltage, current, resistance, power, frequency, impedance and continuity
- Key components: resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, transistors, regulators and integrated circuits
- Fault typologies: short circuit, open circuit, leakage, overheating, degradation, intermittent faults and manufacturing defects
- Relationship between power, signal, control and load in circuit operation
02
Instrumentation, tools and measurement techniques for electronic diagnosis
- Use of the digital multimeter for measurement of voltage, current, resistance, continuity and test of components
- Oscilloscope for signal analysis, waveforms, noise, distortion and synchronisation
- Adjustable power supply, current limitation and circuit-controlled tests
- Signal Generators, Logic Analysers and Advanced Labouratory Tools
- Measuring techniques in energized and de-energized circuits with safety criteria
03
Diagnostic methodology, structured analysis and location of failures
- Systematic diagnosis and differences between randomized testing and structured analysis
- Equipment reception, symptom identification and initial information collection
- Visual inspection of plates: physical damage, corrosion, defective welds and deteriorated components
- Power Analysis: Fuses, Regulators, Main Lines and Voltage Stability
- Signal monitoring and analysis by functional blocks to isolate the defective zone
04
Diagnosis of analogue, digital and power circuits
- Analog circuit diagnostics: amplifiers, filters, sensors and signal conditioning
- Diagnosis of digital circuits - logic, data buses, microcontrollers and communications
- Diagnosis of linear and switched power supplies, converters and regulators
- Power Stage Failures: Transistors, MOSFET, IGBT, Drivers and Load Control
- Evaluation of electrical protections: overcurrent, overvoltage, temperature and short circuit
05
Electronic Fault Diagnostic Project
