SYNOPSIS

The purpose of this practice course is to provide experimental support for the 2nd level of day programs, and the 4th level of all external programs in Electrical & Electronic Engineering. This practice course provides equipment familiarisation and safety information, experience with prototyping together with experimental work in Rotating Machines, Transformers and Power Systems, Electronic Circuit Testing, Component and Circuit Characteristics, Waveform Analysis and Transmission Lines. The principle objectives are to allow the student to develop practical skills; a knowledge of devices, equipment and techniques; reinforce the learning of theory; develop observation and interpretation skills; stimulate interest and develop self confidence.



OBJECTIVES

The course objectives define the student learning outcomes for a course. The assessment item(s) that may be used to assess student achievement of an objective are shown in parenthesis. On completion of this course, students should be able to:

1.
measure the transmission characteristics of cables and waveguides, and compare the results with theoretical predictions; (Report)
2.
analyse the frequency spectra of communication signal waveforms and compare the results with theoretical predictions; (Report)
3.
interpret and apply manufacturers' data for electronic devices; (Report)
4.
select and use appropriate test equipment and procedures from a wide range of possibilities; (Report)
5.
measure the characteristics and/or performance of a wide range of electrical and electronic circuits and devices; (Report)
6.
analyse and interpret test results and measurements on electric and electronic circuits, in terms of theoretical models, and by comparison with the results of simulations; (Report)
7.
predict the performance of electric and electronic circuits from device characteristics; (Report)
8.
design electronic circuits to perform simple functions. (Report)

IMPORTANT ASSESSMENT INFORMATION

  1. Attendance requirements:
    It is the students' responsibility to attend and participate appropriately in all activities (such as lectures, tutorials, laboratories and practical work) scheduled for them, and to study all material provided to them or required to be accessed by them to maximise their chance of meeting the objectives of the course and to be informed of course-related activities and administration.
  2. Requirements for students to complete each assessment item satisfactorily:
    To satisfactorily complete an assessment item a student must achieve at least 50% of the marks or a grade of at least C-. Students do not have to satisfactorily complete each assessment item to be awarded a passing grade in this course. Refer to Statement 4 below for the requirements to receive a passing grade in this course.
  3. Penalties for late submission of required work:
    If students submit assignments after the due date without prior approval then a penalty of 5% of the total marks available for the assignment will apply for each working day late.
  4. Requirements for student to be awarded a passing grade in the course:
    To be assured of receiving a passing grade, students must complete at least 80% of the practical and other activities at a satisfactory standard, as stated in the course Assessment Scheme.
  5. Method used to combine assessment results to attain final grade:
    As P is the only passing grade available for this course, all students who are qualified for a passing grade, under the requirements in 4 above, will be given a grade of P. Other students will be given either a Failing grade or an Incomplete grade.
  6. Examination information:
    There is no examination in this course.
  7. Examination period when Deferred/Supplementary examinations will be held:
    Not applicable.
  8. University Regulations:
    Students should read USQ Regulations 5.1 Definitions, 5.6. Assessment, and 5.10 Academic Misconduct for further information and to avoid actions which might contravene University Regulations. These regulations can be found at the URL http://www.usq.edu.au/corporateservices/calendar/part5.htm or in the current USQ Handbook.

ASSESSMENT NOTES

1. Students who have undertaken all of the required assessments in a course but who have failed to meet some of the specified objectives of a course within the normally prescribed time may be awarded the temporary grade: IM (Incomplete - Make up). An IM grade will only be awarded when, in the opinion of the examiner, a student will be able to achieve the remaining objectives of the course after a period of non-directed personal study.
