COURSE DESCRIPTION – ELECTIVE SUBJECT
The Electronics focus area provides opportunities for students to develop knowledge, understanding and skills in relation to the electronics and associated industries.
MAIN FOCUS AREAS
The Electronics 1 core module develops knowledge and skills in the use of tools, materials and techniques related to electronics technologies. These are enhanced and further developed through the study of the Electronics 2 specialist module.
Practical projects should reflect the nature of the Electronics focus area and provide opportunities for students to develop specific knowledge, understanding and skills related to electronics-related technologies. These may include:
- electronic circuits and kits
- electronic-controlled devices
- robotic projects
Projects promote the sequential development of skills and reflect an increasing degree of student autonomy as they progress through the course.
