Title: Explore physics and mathematical concepts that are key to designing electrical and computer systems.
Course: Engineering Studies (21002) > Section: Exploring Mathematics and Science Concepts in Engineering Applications

Exploration should include

- demonstrating the operation and analysis of simple DC circuits
- identifying the difference between analog and digital signals
- demonstrating the use of electricity in engineered systems in at least two fundamentally different ways
- identifying the function of sensors
- demonstration of the use of binary number systems to store data in a computer.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are some innovative ways to demonstrate the application of voltage?
- Why are DC batteries used to operate some systems and AC power used to operate others?
- How many different types of sensors are in a typical smartphone?
- What is a parallel circuit? What is a series circuit?
- What physics and chemistry concepts are the basis of the operation of common sensors?
