Rationale : Engineering diploma holders specializing in electronics and allied disciplines are expected to handle various mechanical, electrical and electronics tools in the workshop in any industry in which they are employed. This course provides simulated industrial environment and enable students to perform a variety of operations in various shops using relevant mechanical, electrical and electronic materials as well as use appropriate hand tools, equipment, tools and machinery. Through this course student will develop practical skills in sheet metal work, fitting, soldering, de-soldering, assembly, testing etc. of electronic components and circuits, that will also be very useful for projects and other courses that he or she will undertake during the diploma programme as well as in the world of work.
INDUSTRY / EMPLOYER EXPECTED OUTCOME:Build simple electronic circuits on PCB with metal enclosure.
