SYNOPSIS:

Mechanical   and  electrical  engineering  professionals  need  a  comprehensive
knowledge  of  electrical  principles  and  their  application  to  a  range  of
components, measuring instruments, transformers, generators and motors.  A basic
appreciation of power electronic devices and their application is also required,
as well as an introduction to circuit protection and electrical safety.

This  unit  introduces principles of electrical components, DC and AC  circuits,
motors,  generators and transformers.  It includes practical aspects of  testing
and applications in industry.

OBJECTIVES:

1. To develop an understanding of electrical principles needed as a basis for a range of specialisations in power, electronics, control, instrumentation or communications engineering.
2. To give an introduction to typical electrical components likely to be operating in an industrial environment.
3. To give a broad picture of electrical engineering applications.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS:

1    Attendance at residential school is compulsory, and a  report  of
     these  sessions,  deemed satisfactory by the  examiner,  must  be
     submitted by the due date to obtain a pass grade.
2    The  final  examination consists of two sections - a closed  book
     multichoice  answer part and an open book, problem solving  part.
     The  closed book part is worth approximately 35% of the marks for
     the assessment.
3    To  be  eligible for a mark for Assignments 1 and 2 (CML S1A  and
     S2A),  a  prior attempt should have been submitted for CML  Tests
     F1A or F1B or F1C and F2A or F2B or F2C.
4    To  be  eligible for a mark for Assignments 3 and 4 (CML S3A  and
     S4A),  a  prior attempt should have been submitted for CML  Tests
     F3A or F3B or F3C and F4A or F4B or F4C.
5    To achieve a pass grade in this unit, in addition to a total mark
     of  approximately 500 out of 1000, satisfactory performance  will
     be  required in the assignments, laboratory work reports, and the
     final examination.  The standard for satisfactory performance  is
     at least 50% of the available marks for that assessment.
6    To  achieve  a  B  grade  in this unit, in  addition  to  meeting
     requirement 3, a total mark of approximately 700 out of 1000 will
     be  required.  To achieve an A grade in this unit, in addition to
     meeting requirement 3, a total mark of approximately 800  out  of
     1000  will be required.  To achieve a HD grade in this  unit,  in
     addition  to meeting requirement 3, a total mark of approximately
     900 out of 1000 will be required.
7    The penalty for late submission of any assessment is normally the
     loss of all marks for that assessment.
8    It  is the policy of the Faculty of Engineering and Surveying NOT
     to  accept  submission  of assignments  by  facsimile  or  email.
     Students  in remote locations who do not have regular  access  to
     postal services may be given special consideration.
