Course Objective
To demonstrate safety measures against electrical shocks; develop familiarity with transformers, rheostats, batteries and earthing schemes; develop wiring connection diagrams; identify electronic components; operate measuring instruments; design simple electronic circuits on breadboard and PCB; and build the ability to work in a team.
Module-wise Syllabus
Module 1
Electrical Workshop (minimum 7 experiments): precautionary steps for electrical shocks; identifying cables, wires, switches, fuses, MCB, ELCB, MCCB and their ratings; wiring a light/fan point with PVC conduit and a 6A plug socket; two-way switch (staircase) wiring; fluorescent lamp and 16A power plug wiring; power distribution arrangement with MCB distribution board, ELCB, main switch and energy meter; step-up/step-down transformer familiarization with CRO waveform measurement; rheostat familiarization and potential measurement in a DC circuit; battery specification identification and earthing types (pipe, plate, mat) familiarization.
Module 2
Electronics Workshop (minimum 7 experiments): identification of electronic components with specifications; drawing circuit diagrams using BIS/IEEE symbols and interpreting datasheets; testing instruments familiarization (multimeter, function generator, power supply, CRO, DSO) and tools (soldering iron, desoldering pump, wire strippers, crimping tool); testing components with a multimeter (resistor, capacitor, diode, transistor, JFET); PCB types and processing methods; designing and fabricating a single-sided PCB; interconnection methods (breadboard, wrapping, crimping, soldering); assembling and testing an electronic circuit (fixed voltage power supply, rectifier, capacitor filter, zener/IC regulator, or 555 timer square wave generator); SMT assembly; introduction to EDA tools (KiCad or XCircuit).
