S-38.105 Principles in Communications Engineering

General

The course is lectured in Spring 2000 on the first half-term. The lectures and the official course material will be in Finnish, but the course can be passed also by reading The Essential Guide to Telecommunications by Annabel Z. Dodd. (For more information about the lectures see the Finnish homepage.)

The lecturer is Seppo Uusitupa, a visiting teacher from the "real world". The course assistant is Kirsi Voipio. If you have any questions, please email directly to her.

How to get the coursebook

The book can be ordered from bokus.com (where you can pay with FIM and don't need a credit card) and amazon.com. In Helsinki at least the American Bookshop (near the Parliament House) sells the book. You can also try to get the book from the library.

Here's the description of the Essential Guide to Telecommunications in amazon.com.

Homework

To pass the course all students have to do a small homework. This year the job is to write an article about "the most important event in telecommunications in the year 2000". To be able to write the article you need to read newspapers, magazines etc. and get a grasp of what is going on in the world of telecommunications right now. Based on your reading, choose the most important event and write a magazine article on the event. The article should include your reasons for choosing the event and references to the material you have read. You can also include illustrations, but the article may not be longer than one A4 page.

An example work can be found on the course notice board (in Finnish, but you can see the idea, anyway). The work is to be returned by May 20th to the box marked S-38.105 in the G-wing (under the notice board).

Examinations

You need to enroll to all the examinations at least one week (7 days) before the exam. Normally this is done with Topi, where information on the next exam can be found.

The exams are not translated into English automatically, so you really need to enroll in advance, if you want to have the questions in English!
