Description

This Unit has been designed to allow you to develop your knowledge, understanding and skills in analogue electronic devices and circuits so that you can further your studies with more advanced Units in analogue electronics. The Unit can be used as a stand-alone Unit in analogue electronics for candidates who do not wish to advance their studies beyond SCQF level 7 (HNC). Other engineering students who wish to broaden their knowledge can also use it.

HNC/HND candidates will have the opportunity to improve their knowledge, understanding and skills of discrete and integrated circuit semiconductor devices that are widely used in electronic circuits. By the completion of the Unit you should be co…

This Unit has been designed to allow you to develop your knowledge, understanding and skills in analogue electronic devices and circuits so that you can further your studies with more advanced Units in analogue electronics. The Unit can be used as a stand-alone Unit in analogue electronics for candidates who do not wish to advance their studies beyond SCQF level 7 (HNC). Other engineering students who wish to broaden their knowledge can also use it.

HNC/HND candidates will have the opportunity to improve their knowledge, understanding and skills of discrete and integrated circuit semiconductor devices that are widely used in electronic circuits. By the completion of the Unit you should be competent in the understanding of a wide range of analogue electronic devices and be able to interpret data sheets and gain practical skills in the handling and testing of components and circuits.
You should also be able to recognise the relationship between the theoretical knowledge gained and the practical assignments undertaken. The use of computer simulation will allow you to analyse circuit operation before carrying out the practical work.

Outcome 1 will introduce you to a wide range of discrete semiconductor devices used in electronic circuits. At the end of the Outcome you will have knowledge and understanding about the operation of these devices.

Outcomes 2 and 3 allow you to understand the practical applications of the discrete devices studied in Outcome 1.You will also gain valuable experience by carrying out some computer simulation and practical work.

In Outcome 4 you will learn about the operational amplifier, which is widely used in analogue linear circuits to perform mathematical operations including addition and subtraction.

Credit points and level: 2 HN credit at SCQF level 7: (16 SCQF credit points at SCQF level 7).

This is a self study course which means you can study at home, workplace or wherever you choose at times that are convenient for you. You do not have any classes to attend.

The materials for this course are provided as web-pages for you to work through online. As you progress through the course materials you will find written explanations of each feature, followed by practical exercises.

You will be supported throughout the course by a specialist Distance Learning Tutor. Your tutor will contact you (via your College email account) within 7-10 working days of receiving your welcome letter and materials. As you progress they will continue to make regular contact to offer support and guidance, usually by e-mail but sometimes by phone, to ensure you are making good progress and to support your learning throughout. Please note that you must be able to study independently through the course materials.

HOW WILL I BE ASSESSED?

The written assessments for this Unit may consist of one assessment paper lasting two hours. The assessment will be conducted under closed-book, controlled and supervised conditions. You will not be allowed to take notes or textbooks into the assessment but you will be allowed to use a scientific calculator.

The practical assessment will consist of four submitted assignments (one for each Outcome) out of eight completed assessments (two for each Outcome). The practical assessments will take place under controlled and supervised conditions. You will be expected to carry out the practical assessments on an individual basis.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Candidates should have a basic knowledge and understanding of analogue electronic devices. Possession of a Higher in Electronics, C027 12, or some of the following NQ Units may evidence this:

  • D133 11 Semiconductor Applications: An Introduction
  • E9SA 11 An introduction to Semiconductor Applications
  • E9S2 12 Amplification
  • D186 11/12 Applied Electronics
