Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Vincent Brannigan.

12 Electronics

Be a hands-on problem solver and innovator. Electronics enables engineers and inventors to create solutions that tackle global problems and improve lives.

This course is based on ETITO unit standards. 

Course Components

  • Design circuits using electronic components
  • Learn the symbols and language of electronics
  • Make prototype circuits to discover how components work
  • Investigate current voltage and effects of components on circuits
  • Students who complete the core unit standards can also take part in our robotics or Electric vehicle programs which is co-taught with Hard materials

Course Overview

Term 1
US 18239: Demonstrate introductory knowledge of circuit concepts and measurements for electronics.

Term 2
