Course Description
This course will focus on Electrical theory, understanding and practical skills, including:

• Intermediate electronic components
• Schematic symbols and diagrams
• Electronic soldering
• Switching, fusing, wire sizing.
• Understanding and recreating common households’ circuits within DC conditions

By the end of Year 10, students will be able to create a design solution based on a student design brief / challenge.

Note: Students may be required to co-contribute towards the purchase of project materials, dependent on their personal design and choice of materials.

Assessment
Assessment types include a sequence of practical Skills Tasks, written research Tasks, a Practical Test, and a Major Design Project that is documented through a multimodal Design Folio.

Student achievement is assessed according to the Design & Technology Achievement Standards outlined in the Australian Curriculum, with A-E Grades used for reporting.
