Electronics Technician Diploma

Orientation   

Electronics is the field of applied physics that deals with the design and application of electronic circuits. All electronic devices depend on the flow and control of one of the most elementary particles in the universe—the electron. Electronics sounds pretty dull when it’s expressed this way, doesn’t it? Well, in reality, electronics is probably one of the most fascinating fields of science. There are few areas of our daily lives where electronics technology hasn’t made a significant impact. Electronics makes the products we use safer, more reliable, less expensive, and more readily available. It makes our lives more comfortable, more secure, more informed, and more rewarding.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to do the following:

• Describe the functions of several common electronic components and identify their schematic symbols

• Name the units that are used to measure voltage, current, and resistance in circuits

• Explain the difference between direct current and alternating current

• Explain the operation of a simple electronic circuit

• Name four testing instruments that are commonly used by electronics technicians

• List several potential employers of electronics technicians

• Name several electrical shock hazards, and describe the techniques that are used to prevent electrical shocks

• List the steps in a lockout-and-tag procedure
