The course is presented as 6 topics. For each topic there are the following scheduled activities::

1. Lectures
Three lectures a week throughout semester. For each topic there are typically 5 lectures.

2. Tutorials
Tutorials occur weekly thoughout semester from week 2. For each topic there are typically 2 tutorials.

3. Tests
Tests occur during a lecture timeslot. There is a test for each of the first 4 topics.

4. Practicals
There is a three-hour practical session per week, starting in Week 3. There are typically 2 practicals sessions for each of the first 5 topics.

6. Explain the operation of circuits using transistors in switching mode to achieve speed control of a DC motor.On successful completion of this course students will be able to:

 

1	Describe the meaning of the key electrical variables (charge, voltage, current and power).
2	Apply fundamental circuit laws (Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's laws) and key electrical circuit theorems (series and parallel elements, voltage/current divider, Thevenin's and Norton's theorems, superposition, nodal and mesh analysis) to predict the behaviour of DC and AC resistive circuits.
3	Analyse simple diode circuits and power supplies, including half- and full-wave rectifier circuits, voltage doublers, and buck converters.
4	Simulate simple analog circuits to verify their behaviour.
5	Explain the principles of operation and key performance characteristics of AC and DC motors.
6	Explain the operation of circuits using transistors in switching mode to achieve speed control of a DC motor.
7	Apply simple models of bipolar and field effect transistors, and operational amplifiers, to predict the behaviour of simple amplifier circuits.
8	Explain the transient behaviour of RLC circuits with reference to their differential equations.
9	Analyse RLC circuits, including filters and resonant circuits, in steady state conditions using differential equations and phasor analysis.
10	Demonstrate practical skills in the simulation, construction and testing of simple electrical and electronic circuits.

 
The above course learning outcomes are aligned with the Engineers Australia .
The course is designed to develop the following Elements of Competency: 1.1   1.2   1.3   1.6   2.1   2.2   2.4   3.1   3.2   3.3   3.4   3.5   3.6   

1) The following resources are available on the course website:

• Slides: a complete set of lecture slides are available on MyUni.

• Slide Presentations: these pre-recorded slide presentations cover key concepts in the course. Students are expect to be familiar with this material in preparation for lectures.

• Online tests: these are both available and submitted on the course website.

• Tutorial questions: these are available on the course website in the week leading up to the tutorial.

• Practical instructions: these are available on the course website ahead of the practicals.

2) A toolkit containing prototyping boards and basic tools is required for the practical sessions.  Please purchase the kit through the University online shop. The toolkits wil cost $80 but represent $150 in retail value.   The online shop link will be available during the Orientation Week lecture and through MyUni.

1) Practice Problems: are available on the course website.

2) Theory Presentations: these pre-recorded presentations provide supplementary coverage of important concepts in the course.

3) Reference Books: the course lecture notes should provide sufficient information for most students, however you may find the following reference book useful if you are have difficulty with the material or are interested in learning more about any of the topics in this course.  Copies of the book are available in the Barr Smith library.

This course will use a variety of online resources to support the learning process. Recorded slide presentations on key concepts, theory and methods will be made available prior to scheduled lectures, at which the content of the presentations will be discussed in more detail, in the context of applications and problem-solving exercises. It is essential that student view the slide presentations or read the slides before attending lectures.

Video recordings of lectures will normally be made available on the course website after each lecture.

In addition, the following material will be provided on the course website at the start or during the course of the semester:
• slides, slide presentations, and tutorial questions
• some past assessment examples (tests and exams)
• additional practice questions

All course announcements will be made via the course website..

The use of the course discussion boards is strongly encouraged for questions relating to course material, but also for more general discussion on electrical and electronic engineering and technology. Anonymous posts will be permitted were possible, offensive posts will not. Lecturers will make a best effort to respond promptly to questions raised on the discussion boards.

The course gradebook will be used to return continuous assessment marks. Students should check the gradebook regularly and confirm their marks have been correctly entered.

This course uses on-line content, lectures, tutorials and practicals to achieve its learning objectives. Students will be expected to prepare for lectures by viewing online slide presentations explaining the theory and concepts that are the foundation of learning in this course.  Lectures will be largely devoted to demonstrations and active learning activites that explain the context and application of the theory, develop a deeper undersatnding of the key concepts, and provide an opporuntity to practice solving problems. Tutorials will be used for assisted problem-solving by students, working individually or in groups. Students are expected to prepare before tutorials and this preparation will be assessed as part of the weekly online test. There is also a small assessment componet for active participation in tutorials.
