Skill explained

Electronics Technicians know the structure and workings of central IT-based and electronic devices. Electronics involves the manufacturing of equipment and systems equipped with a single embedded system. These systems are used in consumer and industrial applications. Electronics Technicians often work as design assistants in R&D laboratories and in maintenance duties in different industrial outfits.

Required skills

Communication, numeracy, critical thinking, mathematics, computer science, analytical skills, creativity, the ability to work on a team and the ability to learn from a supervisor

What the Competitors do at the Competition

In this skill, the Competitors use basic electronics tools such as measurement devices and computers. The computer is used for the design of electronics and the programming of embedded systems. The competition task is to build an individual electronic device or individual units belonging to it. The device or its part can also be a so-called prototype of a device to be mass-produced. Most devices are based on what is called embedded systems technology. The most important areas of evaluation are quality of work (according to standard IPC-610E) and problem-solving skills.



During the competition there are 4 different projects:



Module 1 - Hardware design ( circuit and PCB design of prototype)

Module 2 - Embedded Systems Programming module (programming of prototype device)

Module 3 – Fault finding, repair and measuring module

Module 4 - Assembly module
