vg1 electrical engineering and computer technology (ELE01‑03)
Competence aims and assessment
Competence aims after electronic circuits and networks
The pupil is expected to be able to
- plan, carry out, assess and document assignments related to electronic circuits and networks, individually and in cooperation with others and give a reason for their choices
- build and programme a self-chosen product consisting of micro controls, analogue circuits, appropriate sensors and actuators to achieve the desired functionality
- connect various computer devices to a system, configure relevant components with the aid of software and establish communication between the devices to achieve the desired functionality
- assemble and configure a small computer network with an Internet connection, carry out appropriate measurements and explain simple measures for securing the network
- explore sensors for electronic circuits and networks, and discuss their area of application
- carry out risk assessments and work in accordance with electrical and ICT security routines, and health, safety and environment routines
- professionally carry out work in electronic circuits and networks in accordance with applicable regulations, assembly and installation instructions, and use appropriate hand tools and machines
- choose and use suitable instruments and software to carry out measurements and troubleshooting, and assess the readings against expected values
- assess the quality of their own work and suggest improvements
- use and handle materials and equipment in electronic circuits and networks in a responsible and sustainable manner in compliance with applicable internal control systems
- manage waste upon completion of work in an environmentally friendly way, and discuss the climate and environmental load of various products
Formative assessment
The formative assessment should help promote learning and the development of competence. The pupils demonstrate and develop competence in electronic circuits and networks when they use knowledge, skills and critical thinking to solve assignments in the programme subject.
The teacher facilitates pupil participation and encourages the desire to learn through a variety of assignments. The teacher can give assignments that cover multiple or all the programme subjects. The teacher shall have conversations with the pupil regarding their development within electronic circuits and networks. The pupils shall have the opportunity to express what they believe they can accomplish and reflect on their own academic development. The teacher provides guidance on further learning and adapts the education to enable the pupils to use the guidance provided to develop their competence in the programme subject.
Assessment of coursework
The grades awarded for coursework reflect the overall competence of the pupil in electronic circuits and networks at the end of the education in the programme subject. The teacher plans and facilitates the pupils in demonstrating their competence in various ways. Using the competence aims as a starting point, the teacher shall assess how the pupil demonstrates understanding, reflection and critical thinking, and how the pupil masters challenges and solves assignments in various contexts. The teacher awards grades in electronic circuits and networks based on the competence the pupil has demonstrated by planning, completing, assessing and documenting their own academic work.
