Level 3 Electronics
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr M. Li.
The world is increasingly "electronic", as the fast-evolving technology and its application continue to remodel our future society. Imagine what it will be like in 10 years time! “Science citizen” will play an active role in modern society, so you must be prepared for it. The Year 13 Electronics course provides a more advanced learning of electronic systems, the product manufacturing process, BASIC programming, and circuit concepts and measurements for electronics. The course offers a combination of five Unit Standards, which include both theoretical and practical learning targets. The wide range of learning targets allow the students to develop an understanding of the basic electronics theory and projects. Students who are equipped with a strong work ethic and keen to pursue Electronics as a career pathway will enjoy the projects which reinforce the theory in Electronics. The topics covered will prepare the students for learning Electronics on a tertiary level and enhance their learning in science and technology.
