Learning outcomes
When you finish this unit, you should be able to:
- 1
Explain fundamental electrical and electronic principles, including voltage, current, resistance, power, and the operation of basic electronic components (e.g., resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors).
- 2
Analyse simple DC and AC circuits using appropriate laws and theorems (Ohm’s law, Kirchhoff’s laws, etc.) and apply these to solve engineering problems.
- 3
Explain the functionality of semiconductor devices and basic digital logic systems in engineering applications.
- 4
Demonstrate proficiency in using basic laboratory equipment (ex: multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies etc) to construct, test, and troubleshoot electrical and electronic circuits.
- 5
Apply electrical and electronic concepts to real-world problems in energy systems, automation, and technology solutions, showing an awareness of safety and sustainability considerations.
Workload and teaching

- Teaching approachActive learning
The minimum total expected workload to achieve the learning outcomes for this unit is 144 hours per semester typically comprising a mixture of 3-6 hours of scheduled learning activities and 6-9 hours of independent study per week. Scheduled activities may include a combination of teacher-directed learning, peer-directed learning and online engagement. Independent study may include associated readings, assessment and preparation for scheduled activities.
You’ll learn through a blended, flipped active learning approach. The main learning approach is active learning, which means you are expected to participate actively in activities and assignments as a proactive learner, rather than simply being a passive listener.
