Regardless of the mode of delivery, represent a guide to the relative teaching time and student effort required to successfully achieve a particular competency/module. This may include not only scheduled classes or workplace visits but also the amount of effort required to undertake, evaluate and complete all assessment requirements, including any non-classroom activities.

Pre-requisites and Co-requisites

UEENEEE003B Solve problems in extra-low voltage single path circuits

Course Description

This unit covers determining correct operation of single source d.c. parallel and series-parallel circuits and providing solutions as they apply to various electrotechnology work functions. It encompasses working safely, problem solving procedures, including the use of voltage, current and resistance measuring devices, providing solutions derived from measurements and calculations to predictable problems in multiple path circuit.

Overview of Assessment

This is a progressive assessment, the students are required to undertake summative assessments as follows:
A. laboratory Journals.
B. Written Reports for one Assignment consists of parts A and B.
C. Closed Book Test and Closed Book Exam.


Assessment Tasks

This Competency is taught in conjunction with “UEENEEE003B” Solve problems in electronic circuits and “UEENEEE001B” Apply OHS practices in the workplace. 
 of the total mark for each assessment in order to pass the competency successfully.

This competency is delivered in conjunction with "UEENEEE003B Solve problems in electrical circuits" and with "UEENEEE001B Apply OHS practices in the workplace" therefore teaching schedule and assessments include three competencies under the same cluster: Electrical Fundamentals & OHS.
