Intermediate electronic engineering solution

This solution provides a broad-based introduction to electronics and provides substantial syllabus coverage of the relevant BTEC First Award (Unit 7). It provides a series of practical investigations that allow students to unify theoretical work with practical skills - from bulbs in series to radio circuits. Curriculum, including experiments and teacher's notes, is available from our resources page.

Topics students can study include:

• LDRs and thermistors
• Diodes and their function
• Combinational logic
• Transistors as a switch / amplifier
• Operational amplifiers
• Timers
• Simple radio circuits
