SYLLABUS EXTRACTElectrical and Electronic TechnologyElectrical and Electronic Engineering Technology is a programme of study that offersknowledge and skills for work and lifelong learning in various engineering andtechnology fields. Electrical and electronics engineers manipulate electricity and useit to design and manufacture products that transmit power or process information.The syllabus, therefore, offers broad-based competencies in an appropriatecombination of interdisciplinary processes, evidence-based delivery and assessmentand employability skills in a world of school and work training environment.The syllabus facilitates articulation with the field of study provided by post-secondaryand tertiary institutions. It is appropriate for students aspiring to careers andemployment as electrical and electronics technicians, electrical and electronicengineers, repair specialists, electronics tester, design and system engineers,inspectors, utility workers and service technicians. The competencies align with thephilosophical foundation for education in the region and international best practices.The syllabus consists of two Units, each containing three Modules.UNIT 1: FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTRICITY AND ELECTRONICSModule 1–Occupational Safety, Health and Environmental PracticesModule 2–Electrical and Electronic Related StudiesModule 3–Introduction to Circuit Technology and DevicesUNIT 2: APPLIED THEORY IN ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERINGTECHNOLOGYUnit 2, comprises TWO Options each consisting of three Modules. Students arerequired to choose ONE of the TWO Options in Unit 2.OPTION A: ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGYModule 1–Communication Engineering

Module 2–Analogue and Digital ElectronicsModule 3–Control SystemsOPTION B: ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGYModule 1–Power Machines and SystemsModule 2–Introduction to Renewable Energy SystemsModule 3–Power Generation Engineering
