STAFFING:

RATIONALE:

Experience has shown that Electrical and Electronic Technical Officers employed within industry require a knowledge of the information and manual skills presented in this unit. They will either be performing these skills themselves, be required to supervise personnel using these skills, professionally communicate about these skills with associates or any combination of the above.

SYNOPSIS:

The aim of this unit is to enable the student to acquire competency in
the  safe use of electrical and mechanical hand tools in common  usage
in electrical workshops and laboratories, to acquire competency in the
design, construction and documentation of electronic equipment, and to
comprehend  the principles of modern automated assembly using  surface
mount technology.

OBJECTIVES:

On completion of the unit, the student should :

1. Have a basic level of competency in the use of both electrical and mechanical hand tools as well as an introduction to mechanical design and construction.
2. Have a basic level of competency in electrical skills such as soldering, instrument assembly, testing, maintenance and documentation.
3. Have a basic level of competency in electrical/electronic drafting including computer assisted techniques.
4. Have a basic understanding of production and maintenance techniques associated with surface mounted components.
