CO-REQUISITE(S)

70335+70320/ E2001+E2003+E2004

SYNOPSIS:

The  purpose of this practice unit is to provide experimental  support
for  level two of all internal courses and level three of all external
courses   in   Electrical  and  Electronic,   Computer   Systems   and
Instrumentation  and  Control  Engineering.  Students  of  Mechatronic
Engineering will also require this unit.

Engineering practice skills, such as the ability to perform  practical
and  project work, innovation, problem identification and solution and
engineering  judgement  will be developed  as  the  students  progress
through their course. The development of communication skills is  also
encouraged in the engineering practice units. This practice unit  will
also  reinforce  the  learning of theory and develop  observation  and
interpretation  skills  and  to stimulate interest  and  develop  self
confidence.

The unit provides equipment familiarisation with control including the
examination   of   first  and  second  order  systems   as   well   as
microprocessor programming and peripherals, measurements for AC and DC
power systems and PCB design.

OBJECTIVES:

On successful completion of this unit students will be able
to:

1. Demonstrate engineering practice skills in control,
   microprocessors and power measurement.
   
2. Utilise library and computing facilities to prepare an
   experimental report.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS:

1    This unit may require attendance at a residential school.
2    Attendance  at  a minimum of 80% of practical and/or  residential
     school  sessions is compulsory for a passing grade to be  awarded
     in this unit.
3    The  only final grades awarded in this unit are Pass (P) or  Fail
     (F) grades.
4    If  students submit assignments after the due date without  prior
     approval  then  a  penalty of up to 20% of the  assignment  total
     marks will apply for each working day late.
5    Day  students  will complete this laboratory work in  conjunction
     with  the  units listed above as co-requisites. In  the  case  of
     external  students this work will be performed during a one  week
     residential school after completion of the external units.
6    The   Faculty  of  Engineering  and  Surveying  will  NOT  accept
     submission  of  hand written or typed assignments  by  facsimile,
     email  or computer diskette. Students in remote locations who  do
     not  have regular access to postal services may be given  special
     consideration.
7    A  minimum  standard of communication skills must be demonstrated
     in order for a passing grade to be achieved.
