SYNOPSIS:

The  purpose of this practice unit is to provide experimental  support
for  level two of all internal courses and level three of all external
courses   in   Electrical  and  Electronic,   Computer   Systems   and
Instrumentation  and  Control  Engineering.  Students  of  Mechatronic
Engineering will also require this unit.

Engineering practice skills, such as the ability to perform  practical
and  project work, innovation, problem identification and solution and
engineering  judgement  will be developed  as  the  students  progress
through their course. The development of communication skills is  also
encouraged in the engineering practice units. This practice unit  will
also  reinforce  the  learning of theory and develop  observation  and
interpretation  skills  and  to stimulate interest  and  develop  self
confidence.

The unit provides equipment familiarisation with control including the
examination   of   first  and  second  order  systems   as   well   as
microprocessor programming and peripherals, measurements for AC and DC
power systems and PCB design.

OBJECTIVES:

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

1. Demonstrate engineering practice skills in control,
   microprocessors and power measurement.
   
2. Utilise library and computing facilities to prepare an
   experimental report.
