ROV ELECTRONICS 1
 Introduction

This is a workbook for your hands-on electronics course. It includes

exercises such as electronic components familiarization, testing, reading
schematic and wiring diagrams, circuit assembly, soldering, mock ROV
assembly and troubleshooting.

In this workbook, you will learn how electronic components work, when
to use them, what are the proper tools and equipment used for circuit
assembly, testing, troubleshooting and staying safe while working with
electronics.

Approximately, we retain 5% of what we HEAR in a lecture, 10% of what

we READ, and 75% of what we PRACTICE. That is why this course will focus
more on hands-on activities and each learning activity begins in discussions
and set of examples that presents essential concepts for learning the topic
before moving to hands-on exercises.

And before you start on each activity, familiarize yourself with the
procedures, equipment, tools, and components to be used by reading the
instructions and safety tips so you will be ready and confident to perform
every activity.
