SYNOPSIS:

In electrical, electronic and instrumentation industries, engineering professionals perform tests and measurements for quality assurance and performance evaluation to comply with Australian Standards. They need to acquire basic knowledge and skills in electrical analogue measurement techniques and familiarisation with Australian Standards. Topics in this unit deal with practical aspects of using analogue measuring instruments and test equipment, and analytical techniques for performance evaluation of components, devices and circuits.


OBJECTIVES:

Successful completion of this unit should enable the student to :

  1. test electrical materials, components and circuits; and
  2. analyse the circuit performance and test measurements.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS:

1    Comply  with  the  special instructions given in each  Assessment
     Instrument.
2    Residential school attendance is compulsory.
3    To  achieve a passing grade in this unit, in addition to a  total
     mark  of  approximately 500 out of 1000, satisfactory performance
     will  be required in the home experiment reports, the residential
     school  reports,  and the final examination.   The  standard  for
     satisfactory  performance is at least 50% of the available  marks
     for that assessment.
4    To  achieve  a  B  grade  in this unit, in  addition  to  meeting
     requirement 3, a total mark better than 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 better  than
     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  better  than  approximately 900 out  of  1000  will  be
     required.
5    The  penalty for late submission of any report or assignment work
     will normally be the loss of all marks for that work.
6    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.
7    For  the 3 hour, closed book, final examination, calculators  are
     NOT permitted.  Students are required to supply their own drawing
     instruments, including a cheap protractor.
