About Course
Electronic systems are widespread in modern technology, found in smartphones, computers, medical devices, and renewable energy systems, highlighting their significance in tackling today’s engineering challenges.
This micro-credential empowers learners with expertise in analogue, digital, and mixed-signal electronic systems. Learners will explore fundamental electronic components and their integration into systems, honing skills in test and measurement principles, instrumentation, and performance evaluation.
Using simulation tools, learners will develop models, analyse electronic systems, and interpret performance and specifications through tests and measurements.
Hands-on experience and interactive sessions facilitate skill development, enhancing learners’ technical proficiency.
Integrating online and in-person delivery, the micro-credential offers various learning activities such as laboratory sessions, online and in-person consultations.
This micro-credential is part of the CSM Pathways in Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Infrastructure and Systems Engineering.
Who Should Attend
Learners from the electronic sectors, including:
Assumed Prior Knowledge
Learners should have a foundational understanding of basic mathematics and at least a passing grade in ‘O’ level mathematics or equivalent.
Learning Outcomes
This micro-credential is predominantly delivered through a competency-based education (CBE) approach where learners acquire and demonstrate mastery of knowledge and skills that are directly relevant to job functions. This prepares them to be industry-ready where they can apply their newly acquired competencies to their work.
List of Competency Units
| Code | Competency Unit Title | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| ENG2200C | Analog Electronic Systems | 6 |
| ENG2201C | Digital Electronic Systems | 6 |
| ENG3200C | Mixed-signal Electronic Systems | 6 |
The above are competency units that constitute this micro-credential. Upon completion of the micro-credential, you will be able to:
- Apply the principles of analogue electronic components like resistors and operational amplifiers to design and develop electronic circuits, meeting specific system performance requirements
- Analyse sequential logic circuits, such as flip-flops, latches, counters, and registers. Demonstrate the ability to configure and use various microcontroller peripherals, interfaces, and subsystems, including analogue-to-digital (ADC), and digital-to-analogue (DAC) converters
- Apply the principles of mixed-signal concepts, high-frequency effects, signal integrity, noise and interference management through projects that involve the use of sensors and communication modules and integrate them seamlessly with microcontrollers
- Create circuit simulation models, program a basic embedded system with integrated mixed-signal electronics and evaluate the performance using suitable testing and measurement techniques
Coaching for Success
During the course, you will have access to a team of qualified success coaches who can work with you on learning strategies or to develop a personalised learning plan. Through the success coaches, you can gain access to a wide range of resources and support services, and be empowered with the necessary tools to navigate your learning journey successfully.
