L2 Electronics

An approved domain course, which involves students establishing an idea for a product, and the creation of a solution involving the application of technology. Students will initially be taught basic to intermediate electronics theory, practical construction techniques and programming skills while designing and constructing a number of small electronic projects. 

They will then research, design and construct a parking garage control system based on microcontroller technology. Students will then design and build a prototype project of their own choice. Students will also be expected to design and produce a suitable enclosure to house their projects. There is a clear focus on carefully planning a well designed and constructed project.

This course will be assessed to a selection of L2 Technology Achievement Standards. Assessment is a combination of both internally and externally assessed standards. Students will have the opportunity to gain up to 27 credits at L2.
