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    Attendance is compulsory in all laboratory practical sessions.
3    To   gain   a  C  grade, a student  must  score   over   50%   in
     assessments 1 and 2, AND score over 50% in the examination.
4    To  achieve  a B grade, in addition to meeting requirement  3,  a
     total  mark  better than approximately 70% will be required.   To
     achieve an A grade, in addition to meeting requirement 3, a total
     mark  of  better  than approximately 80% will  be  required.   To
     achieve a HD grade, in addition to meeting requirement 3, a total
     mark of better than approximately 90% 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
