O Level Electronics 6063

  • Electronics (O Level 6063)

In 2017, MOE started offering Electronics as an O level subject. It seeks to arm students with an understanding of the fundamental working of digital and analog electronic components and systems, as well as ideas related to engineering design. This aims to seed an interest and passion in the engineering field at a young age.

Assessment for this subject is done through:

1. Theory examination (2-hour Paper 1) where students are tested on knowledge and understanding (40%) and appropriate handling of information and problem-solving (60%)

2. Final year project carried out over a 32-hour period when the student is in Sec 4. The project report (45%) documents the activities and implementation of the said project and highlights challenges the student faced and how they were overcome. The project hardware (55%) demonstrates the correct use of electronic components to realise the goal of the project.

As a relatively newly-offered subject, students frequently face challenges related to the lack of quality resource materials, inadequate time allocated in school for hands-on experimentation and design for their final year project, insufficient mentorship and advice in resolving issues encountered during project implementation.

Electronics at The Ark

Since 2019, Teacher Andrew (a former MOE teacher with an electrical engineering degree) has started coaching a group of students from Tampines Secondary in the subject. Our lessons are structured to complement the school's efforts with:

1. Additional learning resources that help to deepen our students' theoretical knowledge and understanding

2. Practice questions in the fundamentals of electricity, analogue electronics (diodes and transducers) and digital electronics (logic gates, logic circuits, latches, timing and counting circuits)

3. Student-centric mentorship on the design process, implementation and documentation of their final year project

Our group of 4 students enjoyed the lively and enriching lessons with Teacher Andrew and went on to score distinctions for their school preliminary exams.
