Educational goals

To introduce students to the basic physical principles, which are neseccary to understand the fundamental structure, the architecture and operation of modern electronic devices and systems.

• To analyze the physical laws depicting the operational principles of various electronic devices and systems
• To describe the physics of the electromagnetic phenomena encooooounter in modern electronic devices and systems
• To be able to develop the proper methodology for the study of electronic systems in accordance with the principles of modern physics.
• To compare and calculate the behavior of simple physical systems of interest to an electronic engineer
• (Ελληνικά) Να κατανοεί τους βασικούς νόμους του ηλεκτρομαγνητισμού, της κυματικής οπτικής και της σύγχρονης φυσικής που είναι απαραίτητοι για να αξιολογεί τους ποσοτικούς και ποιοτικούς δείκτες λειτουργίας διαφόρων ηλεκτρονικών συστημάτων.
• (Ελληνικά) Να αναγνωρίζει τη διεθνή ορολογία που διέπει τα ηλεκτρομαγνητικά και κυματικά φαινόμενα της σύγχρονης φυσικής.
