(2) LEARNING OUTCOMES

Learning outcomes
The course learning outcomes, specific knowledge, skills and competences of an appropriate level, which the students will acquire with
the successful completion of the course are described.
Consult Appendix A
• Description of the level of learning outcomes for each qualifications cycle, according to the Qualifications Framework of the
European Higher Education Area
• Descriptors for Levels 6, 7 & 8 of the European Qualifications Framework for Lifelong Learning and Appendix B
• Guidelines for writing Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course module students possess advanced knowledge, skills
and competences in the subject of Electronic Filters that enable them to:

1. Understand the operation of electronic filters and describe them in the frequency domain
from their magnitude characteristics
2. Design lowpass, highpass, bandpass and band reject passive and active‐RC filters with all‐pole
and rational approximations using the appropriate mathematics or filter tables.
3. Use software system simulation tools to verify filter specifications in the frequency domain
4. Use software tools to design frequency selective electronic circuits.
5. Collaborate with fellow students in a team, in order to solve complex filter design and
implementation problems
General Competences
Taking into consideration the general competences that the degree‐holder must acquire (as these appear in the Diploma Supplement
and appear below), at which of the following does the course aim?
Search for, analysis and synthesis of data and Project planning and management
