Electronics

Description

Students begin the Electronics curriculum by becoming acquainted with electrical components and electrical symbols. Soon, they are interpreting schematic designs and creating a variety of circuits with resistors, transistors, photocells, capacitors, and inductors. The students then use a digital multimeter to measure voltage, current, and resistance. After making an alarm system, students go on to create their very own PA system. By the end of this curriculum, students are able to analyze an electronic circuit, determine any problems, and select and implement the best solution.
