Learning Outcomes
Details of Learning Activities
Participate the activities of learning the underpinning knowledge and practising the work simulation including:
• Classroom tutorial activities to consolidate the theory and application of various types of modulation systems, transmission line, microwave propagation and fibre optic communication systems.
• Practical activities to develop skill in construction the working model of various types oscillators, receiver and transmission line systems. Conduct complex testing process, diagnose & rectify fault and verify the performance as specification.
• Work performance simulation projects involving the design and construction of selected systems, development of testing procedure to verify the performance specification, diagnosis of faults in the systems and repair the fault. Specifications will be provided with work simulation (team or individual basis) or may be negotiated to suit a workplace based application

Overview of Assessment
This is a progressive assessment, the underpinning knowledge will be assessed on the completion of each course, but the competency itself will not be signed off until related competency is completed and the student is deemed competent
The students are required to undertake summative assessments as follows:
• Written assessment
• Work Simulation Projects
• Written Assignments
• Scheduled Practical Exercises
Assessment Tasks
The assessment is conducted in both theoretical and practical aspects of the course according to the criteria set in the National Training Package. The students are required to undertake summative assessments that bring together skills and knowledge as follows:
Theoretical Written assessment.
Work Simulation Projects
A Pass in schedule practical exercises
