SYNOPSIS:

The  purpose of this practice unit is to provide experimental  support
for  the  2nd and 3rd level of day courses, and the 4th level  of  all
external  courses  in  Electrical & Electronic  Engineering,  Computer
Systems Engineering and Instrumentation and Control Engineering.

This  practice  unit  provides equipment  familiarisation  and  safety
information,  experience with prototyping together  with  experimental
work  in  Rotating Machines, Transformers and Power Systems,  Assembly
Language  and Interrupt Programming, Software Team Design,  Electronic
Circuit   Testing,  Component  and  Circuit  Characteristics,   System
Characterisation,   Sampled  Data  Systems,  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:

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

1. apply engineering practice skills in the relevant fields of
   study;
   
2. work in a team environment to accomplish a specific task;
   
3. utilise computing facilities for analysis and report
   preparation

OTHER REQUIREMENTS:

1    This  is a COMMUNICATION BENCHMARK unit and a major component  of
     the   assessment  of  this  unit  will  be  associated  with  the
     demonstration of communication skills.
2    A  minimum  standard of communication skills must be demonstrated
     in order for a passing grade to be achieved.
3    This unit may require attendance at a residential school.
4    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.
5    The  only final grades awarded in this unit are Pass (P) or  Fail
