Module-wise Syllabus
Module 1
Electrical Workshop (minimum of 7 experiments): precautionary steps for electrical shocks; identifying cables, wires, switches, fuses, fuse carriers, MCB, ELCB and MCCB; wiring a simple light/fan circuit (PVC conduit wiring) and a 6A plug socket; two-way switch (staircase) wiring; wiring a fluorescent lamp and 16A power plug socket; power distribution using single-phase MCB distribution board with ELCB, main switch and energy meter; step-up/step-down transformer familiarisation; voltage/waveform measurement with CRO; rheostats and relative potential using a DC circuit; battery specifications (Lead acid, Li-Ion, NiCd); earthing types (Pipe, Plate, Mat schemes) and ground enhancing materials.
Module 2
Electronics Workshop (minimum of 7 experiments): identification of electronic components (active, passive, electrical, electro-mechanical, wires, cables, connectors, fuses, switches, relays, crystals, displays, fasteners, heat sinks); drawing circuit diagrams using BIS/IEEE symbols and interpreting datasheets; testing instruments and tools (multimeter, function generator, power supply, CRO, DSO, soldering/desoldering tools); testing components (resistor, capacitor, diode, transistor, JFET) with a multimeter; PCB types and processing methods; designing and fabricating a single-sided PCB; breadboard/wrapping/crimping/soldering practice; assembling a fixed voltage power supply or square-wave generator (IC 555) on general-purpose PCB; SMT assembly; introduction to EDA tools (KiCad, XCircuit).
