This hands-on learning resource allows students to build a variety of introductory automotive electronic circuits using a range of on-board and carrier-mounted components. The unique design of the unit includes a heavy-duty casing with transparent protective cover. When in use, the cover folds back to provide an angled support for the board. With the cover closed, units become stackable for easy storage.

Students are set tasks that encourage them to explore circuits practically, to help develop their understanding of electrical components, circuits and systems. They also develop diagnostic and fault-finding skills using real test equipment.

Practical topics covered include:

• Simple circuits and measurements
• Battery, fuse, switch and lamp components
• Common ground circuits
• Wiring diagrams
• Current flow
• Power
• Continuity
• Circuit faults
• Lamps in series and parallel
• Switches in series and parallel
• Two- and three-position switches
• Ohm’s Law and Resistance
