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.
On successful completion of this unit students will be able

1 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.
2 The only final grades awarded in this unit are Pass (P) or Fail
(F) grades.
3 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.
4 In the event that a due date for an assignment falls on a local
public holiday in their area, such as a Show holiday, the due
date for the assignment will be the next day. Students are to
note on the assignment cover the date of the public holiday for
the Unit Leader's convenience.
5 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.
6 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.
7 A minimum standard of communication skills must be demonstrated
in order for a passing grade to be achieved.
8 Day students are required to complete laboratory work in
conjunction with the units listed above as co-requisites.
External students are required to complete laboratory work during
a one week residential school, normally attended during the 4th
year of their course.
