Simulation of Electronic Circuit for Design and Technology Subject in Secondary Schools

Abstract

In education, the use of simulation of electronic circuit is very helpful in the process of teaching and learning. Therefore, majority of engineering colleges, universities, and technical institutions are undertaking all initiatives to stay competitive. Effort are exerted to continuously improve the curriculum standard in order to provide quality and relevant education for the students in response the global call for Outcomes-Based Education (OBE). This paper presents the simulation of electronic circuit for Design and Technology Subject in Secondary Schools. Livewire Designer Software is a schematic capture, simulation, and PCB design software, dedicated to analyzing electronic circuit which is based on interconnected icons of electronic component. The approach makes it easier for the students to visualize the system they are attempting to design, model and study.
