| DESCRIPTION | This unit supports its co-requisites (Foundations of Electrical Theory for D&T), (Introduction to Solid state Devices for D&T) and (Transducers), and provides the opportunity to develop procedural knowledge in relation to the electrical and electronics domains of knowledge. This unit trains the learners within the following procedural knowledge domains: a) use of test bench equipment e.g. multi-meter, signal generator, oscilloscope, power supply; b) solder and solder-less circuit implementation techniques e.g. breadboard, veroboard, printed circuit board, conductive paint; c) circuit simulation and implementation planning using software packages; d) testing and fault-finding circuits; e) procurement of electrical and electronic components. Study-Unit Aims: The aims of this study-unit are: 1. To develop procedural knowledge for the electrical and electronics domains; 2. To provide students with opportunities to master the use of test bench equipment; 3. To provide students with opportunities to assemble circuits as prototypes and also as finished products; 4. To develop skills for the testing and fault-finding of electrical and electronic circuits. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: 1. Develop making 鈥渒now-how鈥� knowledge given a specific circuit to implement or test; 2. Develop device knowledge; 3. Adopt a vocational approach toward the construction of knowledge within the electrical and electronic domains. 2. Skills: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: 1. Use test bench equipment to implement and test or fault-find prototype circuits; 2. Plan and implement circuits using prototype and non-prototype techniques. Printed circuit board implementation includes use of CAD/CAM techniques together with chemical processing techniques; 3. Use a software package to simulate circuit behaviour and correlate results to conceptual knowledge acquired about electrical/electronic circuits; 4. Use a software package to plan artwork for printed circuit board production; 5. Plan circuit implementation layouts suitable for efficient transfer of knowledge; 6. Explore new materials for circuit construction e.g. conductive paint. Main Text/s and any supplementary readings: - PETRUZZELLIS, T. 2004.
