Electronic control systems

Demonstrate knowledge and applications of conductors, semiconductors, and insulators; identify and provide examples of each.

PCB production uses CNC or chemical methods. Design & analysis of circuits demonstrate understanding of PCB uses.

Systems approach analyzes electronics via input, process, and output.

Electronic devices use components like resistors, capacitors, transistors, diodes, & ICs.

Understand resistance and resistor use in circuits, identify resistor values/tolerances (5%/10%), and calculate series resistance

NPN transistors are key components in electronics, used as switches or amplifiers. Thyristors are semiconductor switches with three legs: gate, anode, and cathode.

Show how a voltage divider controls voltage in a circuit and interpret related circuit diagrams

Current (amps), voltage (volts), and resistance (ohms) are measured using ammeters, voltmeters, and ohmmeters/multimeters; Ohm's Law (V=IR) relates them.
