The Subject “Electronics Hardware” as interdisciplinary topic for the electric engineering education

This paper deals with the significant importance of the “Electronics Hardware” topic, which is introduced in the innovation program for Bachelor Study Program in the branch “Microelectronics and Technology” at Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunication (FEEC) in Brno University of Technology (BUT) in the Czech Republic. Importance of “Electronics hardware” knowledge is based upon the fact that mostly parts of engineers in all branches are in your praxis often in contact with electronics hardware. Electronics hardware ranges from individual chips to signal processing systems and instruments in various applications areas as communication and control equipments. These should be consumer, medical, automotive, informatics, telecommunication and many others. To manage hardware in the right way means to save cost, to assure quality and to care and protect about environment and human health. To help and create fundamentals in this way is the main contribution for the introducing this subject as interdisciplinary. The reason to involve this topic in the electric engineering education system is endorsed also by increasing interest of students from various branches for this topic in last three years of its introducing in education process. Detailed syllabus and lab exercises related to this topic are presented.
