Electronics and Robotics 10

Faculty: Andrew Kay

Course Description

Technology 10 is a one year course that encompasses a portion of the BC Ministry of Education’s Applied Design, Skills and Technologies (ADST) 10 course. Students enrolled will work individually and in in teams to explore electronic circuit construction and robotics through project work. 

The Electronics and Robotics 9 course is aligned with the BC Ministry of Education ADST 10Links to an external site., and it is here that much information regarding the Big Ideas, Competencies and Standards associated with the course can be obtained.

 

Curricular Competencies

Students are expected to be able to do the following:

  • Applied Design
  • Applied Skills
  • Applied Technologies

Content

  • Students are expected to know the following:
  • design opportunities
    Ohm’s law
    electrical theory using parallel and series circuits
    breadboard circuitry
    production of simple circuits from schematic drawings
    electronic diagnostic and testing instruments
    function and application of components
    construction sequences involved in making a working circuit
    function and use of hand tools and operation of stationary equipment
    cases for enclosing a circuit
    sequences involved in making a functional robot
    robot elements
    block-based coding or logic-based programming for robotics
    programming platforms for robotics
    flow charts related to robotics behaviour

 

 

Assessment and Evaluation

Assessment in Electronics and Robotics 10 is consistent with the school’s philosophy of providing multiple (two or more) opportunities to demonstrate their mastery of learning outcomes.

 

Assessment in Electronics and Robotics 10 will be compiled from evaluation of student individual and team project work and personal daily journal. 

 

Students should refer to the school’s Academic Honesty policy regarding missed assessments and not submitting work.

First Peoples Principles

We wish to acknowledge the unceded traditional lands of the Coast Salish Peoples, in particular the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil Waututh), and sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) First Nations on whose territories we are grateful to live, work, play and learn.

 

As part of contribution to reconciliation, this course makes First Peoples Principles visible in class by understanding that learning is holistic, reflexive, reflective, experiential, and relational (focused on connectedness, on reciprocal relationships, and a sense of place). Learning involves recognizing the consequences of one’s actions. Learning requires exploration of one’s identity.

Literacy

In this course, students will be introduced to the scientific inquiry method, which will require them to make observations, ask questions, analyze data, and communicate their findings. Students will also be required to comprehend information presented orally, textually, and visually to gain an understanding of the course’s key content and concepts. Finally, students will be asked to give oral presentations, visually represent data and ideas, and share written versions of their ideas and conclusions.

Resources

  • CANVAS: Students will find their assignments posted on CANVAS, along with additional resources that the Teacher has deemed important and helpful to student success. Calendar information that record due-dates and other information is also conveyed through CANVAS. Also, important review files for year-end June exam can be accessed from the CANVAS site to prepare students for the June exam
  • Classroom presentation on CAD topics as applied to project work.

Course Expectations

  • Students should arrive to class with functioning computer and required software.
  • Students should be prepared to perform some independent problem solving.
  • Submitting Assignments: should be punctual, but if circumstances make it impossible, students are required to communicate their difficulty with the instructor.
