Description
The Advanced GNVQ in Engineering includes the optional unit Electronics which should be a unit that most colleges will include when running their GNVQ Engineering courses. This book has been tailored specifically to cover the unit and combines the necessary theory with the practical and vocational elements of the GNVQ. It includes practical examples, case studies and multiple choice questions. The book provides a strong emphasis on electronics as part of engineering. It is suitable for technician students at FE level, and students studying GNVQ Engineering and Advanced Engineering.
