This paper presents the development of Electronic Circuits, an elective course in the final year of computer and digital system engineering Bachelor programmes at Chalmers University of Technology. Serving as a bridge between the traditional circuits perspective of junior-level courses and the electronic system perspective of senior-level courses, the course was developed to lay a foundation for contemporary electronic system design in a manner that spurs student motivation. The course adopts an integrated view of analog circuits, digital circuits, and wires, and this necessitates a new pedagogical flow, including an extensive set of design-oriented exercises.
