Synopsis

In electrical, electronic and instrumentation industries, engineering professionals perform tests and measurements for quality assurance and performance evaluation to comply with Australian Standards. They need to acquire basic knowledge and skills in electrical analogue measurement techniques and to become familiar with Australian Standards. Topics in this course deal with theoretical aspects of using analogue measuring instruments and test equipment, and analytical techniques for performance evaluation of components, devices and circuits.

Objectives

The course objectives define the student learning outcomes for a course. On completion of this course, students should be able to:

  1. describe common measuring instruments, devices and circuits, and their application to electrical testing;
  2. identify and classify error sources, and explain how their effects can be minimised in particular measurement situations;
  3. analyse single- and three-phase circuits to determine voltage and current values, by means of complexors, matrices and phasor diagrams;
  4. analyse test measurements and circuit performance mathematically in both time and frequency domains, with the aid of network theorems, response curves and locus diagrams;
  5. specify details of instrumentation and devices intended for a particular application;
  6. evaluate the results of tests and measurements taken from circuitry constructed by the student; and
  7. demonstrate, through technical report writing, competency in mathematical and graphical analysis of data.

Please for alternative purchase options from USQ Bookshop. (https://omnia.usq.edu.au/info/contact/)

A cheap scientific (preferably "smart" type for assignment work) calculator (calculators are not permitted in closed exams. NB calculators that can hold textual information cannot be used in USQ exams), a cheap protractor, scale ruler, flexible drawing aid, dividers and drawing compass.
Components for Mini (Home) Experiments, as specified in the Workbook (normally available from electrical parts and hobby retailers).
In this course, the study book serves as the main source of all assessable information - sufficient for students to meet all of the course objectives to a high level of achievement without recourse to the recommended reference materials.
To do the course assignment students may optionally use an engineering application software program that integrates mathematical and graphical analysis of data with word processing.

Reference materials

Reference materials are materials that, if accessed by students, may improve their knowledge and understanding of the material in the course and enrich their learning experience.

Notes
  1. This will be an open examination. Students will be provided further instruction regarding the exam by their course examiner via 精东传媒appDesk. The examination date will be available via UConnect when the official examination timetable has been released.

Important assessment information

  1. Attendance requirements:
    It is the students' responsibility to attend and participate appropriately in all activities (such as lectures, tutorials, laboratories and practical work) scheduled for them, and to study all material provided to them or required to be accessed by them to maximise their chance of meeting the objectives of the course and to be informed of course-related activities and administration

  2. Requirements for students to complete each assessment item satisfactorily:
    To satisfactorily complete an assessment item a student must achieve at least 50% of the marks or a grade of at least C-. Students do not have to satisfactorily complete each assessment item to be awarded a passing grade in this course. Refer to Statement 4 below for the requirements to receive a passing grade in this course.

  3. Penalties for late submission of required work:
    Students should refer to the Assessment Procedure (point 4.2.4)

  4. Requirements for student to be awarded a passing grade in the course:
    Due to COVID-19 the requirements for S1 2020 are: To be assured of receiving a passing grade a student must achieve at least 50% of the total weighted marks available for the course.

    Requirements after S1 2020:
    To be assured of receiving a passing grade a student must obtain at least 50% of the total weighted marks available for the course (i.e. the Primary Hurdle), and have satisfied the Secondary Hurdle (Supervised), i.e. the end of semester examination by achieving at least 40% of the weighted marks available for that assessment item.

    Supplementary assessment may be offered where a student has undertaken all of the required summative assessment items and has passed the Primary Hurdle but failed to satisfy the Secondary Hurdle (Supervised), or has satisfied the Secondary Hurdle (Supervised) but failed to achieve a passing Final Grade by 5% or less of the total weighted Marks.

    To be awarded a passing grade for a supplementary assessment item (if applicable), a student must achieve at least 50% of the available marks for the supplementary assessment item as per the Assessment Procedure (point 4.4.2).

  5. Method used to combine assessment results to attain final grade:
    The final grades for students will be assigned on the basis of the weighted aggregate of the marks (or grades) obtained for each of the summative assessment items in the course.

  6. Examination information:
    Due to COVID-19 the requirements for S1 2020 are: An Open Examination is one in which candidates may have access to any printed or written material and a calculator during the examination.

    Requirements after S1 2020:
    In a Closed Examination, candidates are allowed to bring only writing and drawing instruments into the examination. For the two-hour closed examination in this course, calculators are not permitted. Students are required to supply their own drawing instruments, including a cheap protractor.

  7. Examination period when Deferred/Supplementary examinations will be held:
    Due to COVID-19 the requirements for S1 2020 are: The details regarding deferred/supplementary examinations will be communicated at a later date.

    Requirements after S1 2020:
    Any Deferred or Supplementary examinations for this course will be held during the next examination period.

  8. 精东传媒app Student Policies:
    Students should read the USQ policies: Definitions, Assessment and Student Academic Misconduct to avoid actions which might contravene 精东传媒app policies and practices. These policies can be found at .
