Course Information

Aim

The aim of the Electrical and Electronics 10, 20, A30, B30 curriculum is to provide students with opportunities to acquire knowledge and develop skills used in the electrical and electronics industry and to become familiar with career opportunities in this industry in Saskatchewan.

Goals

Applied Technology:

Awareness:

Communication:

Health and Safety:

Mathematics:

Personal Development:

Philosophy and Rationale

In today's rapidly changing world, the use of electricity and electronic devices is ever expanding. A basic understanding of electrical and electronics theory and applications will enhance the ability of students to manage new technologies as they emerge.

Providing for learning electrical and electronics skills at the Secondary Level affords students an opportunity to gain experience and employment in the private sector. There may also be an opportunity for students who have completed courses to apply for advanced standing in a post-secondary training program. Students may be granted time credit should they register as an apprentice following high school completion. Some students may choose these courses of study for personal use.

Courses in Electrical and Electronics are offered to:

post-secondary education and training.

Foundational Objectives

Foundational objectives are the major, general statements that guide what each student is expected to achieve in the modules of this PAA curriculum guide. Foundational objectives indicate the most important knowledge, skills, attitudes/values and abilities for a student to learn in a subject. Both the Foundational Objectives for Electrical and Electronics and the Common Essential Learnings (CELs) Foundational Objectives to be emphasized are stated in this document. Some of these statements may be repeated or enhanced in different modules for emphasis. The Foundational Objectives of the Core Modules of the Electrical and Electronics curriculum include:

Course Components and Considerations

Under Core Curriculum policy, each Secondary Level single (1.0) credit is based on 100 hours of instruction. Introductory modules may be completed at the Middle Level to help meet Middle Level requirements.

Modules were designed for a 400-hour Electrical and Electronics program. The course developed for the Introductory level (10) provides access to further studies in electricity, the Electrical focus leading to a career opportunity as an Electrician or the Electronics focus leading to a career as an Electronics Technician.
