About this Subject

Students will continue to consolidate and implement the technologies associated with electronics, and robotics in society. This is predominantly a practical, hands on subject. This subject is underpinned with major implications to the real and future world. This includes the workplace, home, industry and the environment. 

Concepts and practice of the impact of AI (Artificial Intelligence) is also explored. Analogous problems are examined and translated via coding. The digitised solution is tested back out as a practical application into the analogue problem. Students learn to use tools, electronics, Arduino, industrial robot arms (IRB 120 and UR5E). 

Students produce outcomes that demonstrate the knowledge and skills associated with using control systems, processes, and materials such as electronic components, chips, circuitry, robotic components.

Assessment
