Electronic Engineering

Many modern devices – such as computers, mobile phones, iPods and digital cameras – have electronics at their heart.  As an electronics engineer, you could be involved in the development of exciting new devices, as well as enhancing those that we currently use.  Our BTEC Electronic Engineering course starts with the basics before moving onto more complex elements.

Key topics

  • Electricity and Circuit Theory

Explore the nature of electricity and the mechanics of simple circuits. Students will learn about the role of electrons in circuits and how devices such as cells and resistors behave when connected in series and parallel. In addition students will learn about alternating current and basic magnetic and electromagnetic theory.

  • Inductance, Capacitance and Solid State Devices

Students will examine the operation and function of capacitors, inductors and a number of solid state devices such as transistors and diodes. In addition students will gain knowledge of the use of these devices in common applications.

  • Electronic applications

The aim of the final unit is to develop a clear understanding of the operation and function of a variety of elements used in communications electronics. In addition the use of digital electronics is explored in the light of integrated circuits, logic diagrams and truth tables.
