Level 3 Electronics
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr F. Versteegen
This course is for students with an interest in electronics. It covers the areas required for people looking for jobs in the various electrical, electronic, engineering and telecommunications industries.
We are making and programming microcontroller circuits with advanced semi-conductors, wireless signals. We're using digital and analogue data, and learn about logic circuits. We also do some theory work on reliability and product development.
Students will learn what semi-conductor devices are made from and how that allows their functioning; They examine typical circuits for the semi-conductor devices we investigate; build wireless radio; research an occupation in the electro-technology industry and build a high class specification electronic product of your own design, ideally to solve a real world issue.

An independent working attitude is needed, as the course is very project based.
Contributions and Equipment/Stationery
Approximately $50.00. We are grateful to families making voluntary payments to assist with course specific costs.
Recommended Prior Learning
Reasonable success in Level 2 Electronics or Level 2 Physics, or by negotiation with the HOD/TIC.
