Description
The emphasis for this course is robotics and
electronic environments in preparation for
progression to a science, electronic or engineering
based course at tertiary level. Assessment will be
based around an electronic folio that will include
documentation of the design process that leads to
the creation of a digital media and physical device
outcome. Students will be expected to develop a
range of skills in robotics and basic electronics as
well as developmental tools such as PCB design and
drawing software. An essential part of this course
is the planning and development of a Robot and a
Monitoring systemwhich perform specific tasks and
is supported by electronic-based documentation.
Assessment
A course of approximately 19 credits will
be offered from a selection of the following
standards. The standards offered will be selected
based on the student’s strengths and interests.
AS 91360
Demonstrate understanding of redundancy and
reliability in technological systems.
(External 4 credits)
AS 91357
Undertake effective development to make and
trial a prototype. (Internal 6 credits)
AS 91374
Demonstrate understanding of advanced
concepts used in the construction of electronic
environments. (Internal 3 credits)
