Learning Outcomes
Details of Learning Activities
Participate face to face in
• Classroom tutorial activities to consolidate the operation and application to the power amplifier circuits and heat sinks. This may include calculations for various performance parameters but not limited to: voltage & current gain, input & output resistance and power.
• Practical activities to develop skill in selecting most appropriate dc and ac power amplifiers and heat sinks based on application criteria, construction of power amplifier circuits and heat sinks, test, measure and confirm the operating conditions using oscilloscope and other currently available measuring instruments.
• Work simulation projects involving the design and construction of power amplifier circuit and heat sinks, development of testing procedure to verify the performance specification, diagnosis of faults in the systems and completion of commissioning process. Specifications will be provided with work simulation (team or individual basis) or may be negotiated to suit a workplace based application
Projects may be undertaken as part of a team or individual basis.
It is expected that students would require approximately 50% of course hours to be allocated for independent study to do project research, design, construction, testing and problem solving activities.

Other Resources
Student can use any resources he/she likes to assist with the study. The web is especially rich in information that will assist student in understanding the work he/she is doing. To access this information, the student will need to use a search engine. Students should make a habit of using these regularly to expand learning horizons beyond the resource material found in this module. Some common search engines are
• http://www.yahoo.com
• http://www.google.com
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 further courses related to the competency are completed and the student is deemed competent.
The students are required to undertake summative assessments as follows:
• Progressive Written Assessments
• Scheduled Practical Exercises
• Work Simulation Projects
Assessment Tasks
This is a competency based course. Each assessment task specifically relates to demonstration of knowledge, skills and/or attitudes relevant to an element of competence. To achieve a Grade of ‘Competent’, you must be able to demonstrate the knowledge and skills required in each assessment task of the course to the level required by industry.
In general, the assessment of your level of competence is made through continuing evaluation of your level of work and your progression in the development of skills. The style of assessments will provide you with:
o Opportunities to demonstrate application of the necessary knowledge, attitudes and skills not just recall information.
o Information on your progress through the course with emphasis on encouraging you to monitor your own progress and plan your program of study.
o An open system where standards are specified and the required level of competence is known beforehand.
