Overview
3921 (TEE 10) Electronics Technology 10
[4 CREDITS - Applied Skills]
Prerequisite: none
This course includes both theoretical and practical components and is a primer for one of the first semester courses in any post-secondary Engineering Program. Students will build two of the following projects:
- Electronic Siren
- Variable DC Power Supply
- Two-Minute Warning (Tormentor)
- Space Probe
- 110 Volt Strobe Light
Students will learn to solve basic series and parallel circuits and variations of series-parallel circuits using Ohm's law and Kirchoff's laws, as well as the fundamentals of power conversion. They will have an opportunity to become familiar with the use and care of such test equipment as the digital multimeter, oscilloscope and audio function generator. Students will also learn the basics of Multisim computer circuit modeling. Assessment is based on tests and quizzes, along with practical work / work habits. Take it for fun or with an eye to Engineering, Robotics or Telecommunications.
4921 (EL 11) Electronics 11
[4 CREDITS - Applied Skills]
Prerequisite: none, Electronics 9 recommended
The main objective of the Electronics courses is to offer a combination of knowledge and "hand-on" skills that will prove valuable over a lifetime as well as opening doors to a wide variety of career options open to both males and females through post-secondary. The areas of focus will include a blending of safety, use and care of tools and equipment, circuit theory as it applies to DC, AC analog circuits or systems. Emphasis will be placed on the application of theory to design (where applicable) assemble, test and if necessary, trouble-shoot various teacher/student-selected labs or projects. Evaluation is based on quizzes and project/lab work. It also may include one or more of the following projects: Strobe light, Colour Organ, 100-Watt Stereo Amplifier.
5921 (EL 12) Electronics 12
[4 CREDITS - Applied Skills]
Prerequisite: Electronics 11
Students will learn to solve more complex circuits using Ohm's law and Kirchoff's current and voltage laws. They will also further their knowledge of design and development processes of printed curcuit boards. Theoretical work will build on areas of study covered in Electronics 11, including a component in computer programming. Evaluation is based on project work and labs, tests and quizzes. Projects will vary and may include bringing a device from home for repairs.
5924 (ELDS 12) Electronics 12: Digital Systems
[4 CREDITS - Applied Skills]
Prerequisite: EL 11 recommended
This is an enriched Electronics 11 program, with the same foundational materials, but with expanded component in digital circuits. Theory will cover the basics of digital systems in solid-state circuitry and digital control systems. Evaluation is based on quizzes and projects/labs.
5929 (ELAS 12) Electronics 12: Analog Systems
[4 CREDITS - Applied Skills]
Prerequisite: Electronics 9/10 or 11 is strongly recommended
This course builds on Electronics 12.
5928 (ELR 12) Electronics 12: Robotics
[4 CREDITS - Applied Skills]
Prerequisite: EL 11 is recommended
Electronics 12R is a course in advanced electronics, in which students will further develop their skills and knowledge in electronics, including radio control, and electro-mechanics which will be applied directly to robotics. The course will focus on Parallax Basic and PIC Basic as programming languages to introduce students to AI.
Students will have the option of working on self-directed projects, or projects made available by the teacher.
Possible Career Paths:
- Electrician
- Automotive Computer Systems Technician
- Consumer goods testing (CSA)
- Medical equipment sales, service and training
- Computer Network Administrator or engineer
- NavCan (repair and maintenance of airport navigational/security equipment)
- Robotics and Automation specialist
- Avionics (aircraft electronics)
- Power Engineer
