Updated on: 01/12/2023 The majority of industrial and domestic processes are controlled by electronic circuitry, so it is important for engineers in a range of sectors to be proficient with fault finding and testing techniques, even though they may not be an expert in electronics. In this unit, you will explore the operational features, including the construction of a range of devices used in the testing of analogue and digital electronic circuits, using discrete and integrated circuit components. You will also explore fault finding techniques and prepare a test plan for diagnosing faults. You will go on to measure and test operational circuits to diagnose the location and nature of faults. The standard fault finding techniques introduced as part of this unit can be applied to a wide range of industries, including aerospace, automotive, audio and video, wireless communications, industrial controls and factory automation. This unit will help to prepare you for employment, for example as an electrical/electronic technician, a traineeship/apprenticeship or for entry to higher education.
