Subject Code: 1TSTE Credit points: 10 points Length of course: Semester Recommended Background: Satisfactory completion of Year 10 Electronics
Course Description:
Students develop the ability to initiate, create and develop products in response to a design brief. They learn to use tools, materials and systems safely and competently to complete a product.
Students analyse the impacts of technology, including consequences for individuals, society and the environment.
They use electrical, electronic, mechanical, pneumatic, and hydraulic devices, and interface components including programmable control devices.
Topics Included:
This course is designed to allow students to gain theoretical knowledge and develop practical skills in both analogue and digital electronic circuit components and techniques. Students will learn component and electrical theory, develop circuit analysis and troubleshooting skills, while designing and constructing circuits using bread boarding and printed circuit board construction techniques. Students will learn to solve electrical circuit equations and undertake circuit measurement and testing. Digital circuit principles including logic states and programming of ”picaxe” chips will also be covered in the context of designing and building a security alarm.
Assessment:
Product 40%
Folio 20%
Skills and Application Tasks 40%
Additional Costs:
Costs for excursions and workshops, that include fees and transport.
