Syllabus

The course is based on the following modules.

​

Module 1: Components and Concepts - Students examine a range of circuits and construct their own, both real and simulated through software to establish an understanding of how electricity behaves and to develop skills in the use of technology commonly found in electronics laboratories and workplaces.
 

Module 2: Power Distribution and Conversion - Students will develop skills in working with electronic components to construct devices for power distribution and conversion. By inquiring into the form and function of such devices, they will develop knowledge based on real world devices and will extend that knowledge to develop a greater understanding of the behaviour of electricity and of magnetism and of the relationship between them.

​

Module 3: Digital Technology - Students develop an understanding of the range of applications for solid-state electronics and of the career options associated with digital technology. Students apply their understanding to develop a model to describe the behaviour of logic gates and circuits and to account for the structures and behaviours of logic gates.

Module 4: Control Systems - Students investigate residential and industrial applications of control systems, determine the principles and processes that explain their function and apply their knowledge in designing and constructing systems that solve real problems in built environments.

Module 5: Electrotechnologies Project - This module offers the students flexibility in developing learning experiences which meet the needs of individuals and which give students practical experience in working with others in settings that resemble the workplace.
