SYNOPSIS:

The  purpose of this practice unit is to provide experimental  support
for  the first level of all day and external courses in Electrical and
Electronic    Engineering,    Computer   Systems    Engineering    and
Instrumentation and Control Engineering.

This  unit  provides equipment familiarisation and safety information,
experience with electronic prototyping together with experimental work
in  analog and digital electronics, waveform generation, combinational
and  sequential logic, DC circuits and machines, rectification, series
resonance,  power  factor  correction,  transformers,  AC  motors  and
generators.

The principle objectives are to allow the student to develop practical
skills,  and  knowledge  of  devices,  equipment  and  techniques,  to
reinforce   the  learning  of  theory  and  develop  observation   and
interpretation  skills,  and to stimulate interest  and  develop  self
confidence.

OBJECTIVES:

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

1. Describe the operation and application of common electrical
   and electronic devices and test equipment.
   
2. Prototype and test simple electronic analog and digital
   circuits.
   
3. Safely measure the performance of DC and AC motors, generators
   and transformers.
   
4. Demonstrate observation, interpretation and communication
   skills.

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  will complete this laboratory work in  conjunction
     with  the  units listed above as co-requisites. In  the  case  of
     external students this laboratory work will be performed during a
     one week residential school after completion of the first year of
     their external course.
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    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    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    A  minimum  standard of communication skills must be demonstrated
     in order for a passing grade to be achieved.
