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,  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    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    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.
4    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.
5    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.
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

8    Students  are  to  retain a verbatim copy of all assignment  work
     submitted, for submission in the event that the original is  lost
     or damaged.
9    A  minimum  standard of communication skills must be demonstrated
     in order for a passing grade to be achieved.
