Level 6 Graduate Diploma in Engineering (9210-01) - City & Guilds

Unit 117 Electronic systems
Level: 6
Introduction
This unit is about the principles underlying the basic operation, analysis and design of electronic
circuits and systems.
Unit aim
The unit aims to develop knowledge in respect of semiconductor devices, power supplies, low
frequency signal amplifiers, oscillators, digital logic circuits and logic families.
Learning outcomes
There are three learning outcomes to this unit. The learner will:
1. Describe the operation and application of semiconductor devices
2. Analyse, design and apply analogue circuits and systems
3. Analyse, design and apply digital circuits and systems
Guided learning hours
It is recommended that 150 hours should be allocated for this unit of which 60 would be direct
taught hours while the remainder is for independent study and laboratory practical work. The unit
may be carried out on a full time or part time basis.
Assessment
This unit will be assessed by means of one three hour written examination plus satisfactory
completion of the prescribed practical and laboratory work. The assessments will be carried out
separately.
The learner is expected to have knowledge of conductors, semiconductors, insulators, and electric
circuits as per the City & Guilds Advanced Technician Diploma 8030-225 or relevant HND or other
equivalent.
