This is the final practice unit for Bachelor of Engineering students majoring in Electrical and Electronic or Computer Systems Engineering. Instrumentation and Control majors have the option of selecting either this practice unit or 73051 Mechanical Practice 1, and this choice will depend on their selection of elective units. Day students will complete this laboratory work in conjunction with the units listed above as Day co-requisites. In the case of external students this laboratory work will be performed during a one week residential school, during either year 6 or 7 of their course. If the latter, the unit may be undertaken immediately prior to 70061 Professional Practice 1, so that both may be completed over a two week period. This unit provides experimental work and project work in the areas of digital sampling and computer control, in signal processing topics such as correlation, digital filtering and system identification, and in computer networking. The principle objectives are to allow the student to develop knowledge of techniques, apply theory and interact with phenomena in real situations, and further develop problem identification and solution skills together with a capacity for self learning.

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 To obtain a passing grade, students must demonstrate competency
by: (i) satisfactory performance of individual tasks; (ii)
satisfactory participation in group activities; and (iii)
submission of Laboratory Reports which describe experimental
procedure, present and analyse results, discuss results and draw
conclusions, as required
4 The pass mark for laboratory reports will be 60%.
5 If students submit assignments after the due date without prior
approval then a penalty of up to 10% of the assignment total
marks will apply for each working day late.
6 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.
7 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.
8 A minimum standard of communication skills must be demonstrated
in order for a passing grade to be achieved.
