Overview

This course provides an opportunity for students to have practical experience with equipment and concepts associated with higher level electrical and electronic courses, while at the same time developing some other skills needed to perform satisfactorily in the workforce.

The assessment in this course is competency-based. Students will achieve either a pass or fail for each assessment. Students need to pass all assessment items to successfully complete the course. These competency items form part of the USQ accreditation agreement with the accrediting organisation/s (where relevant).

This course provides experience with a range of advanced electrical and electronic equipment of the kind not likely to be available for analysis in industry. This equipment includes advanced electronic test equipment, electromagnetic compatibility measuring equipment, automatic electronic test equipment programmed with graphical programming software and programmable logic controllers, power electronic systems such as motor drives and rectifiers and a variety of electrical machines. Work during the course will be in small teams and students are expected to perform satisfactorily in this context.

This course contains a mandatory residential school for external students and mandatory on-campus laboratories or practical classes for on-campus students.

Course learning outcomes

The course objectives define the student learning outcomes for a course. On completion of this course, students should be able to (Note: objectives 6 to 12 relate to elective labs):

  1. evaluate a broad range of design criteria for typical electrical or electronic products;
  2. co-operate in a team environment to achieve objectives in a given timeframe;
  3. present a short seminar to a group of their peers;
  4. prepare evaluative reports on work undertaken;
  5. engage in informed discussions about design criteria for electrical and electronic equipment, including sustainability;
  6. measure the transmission characteristics of cables and waveguides, and compare the results with theoretical predictions;
  7. analyse the frequency spectra of communication signal waveforms and compare results with theoretical predictions;
  8. design and write programs to operate microprocessor hardware to perform particular tasks;
  9. create software to solve a specified problem, while working as part of a team;
  10. measure the characteristics of electrical machines;
  11. develop a understanding of virtual machine technology; practice installation, configuration and use the Linux operating system and related software applications;
  12. setup, configure and administer computer networks and develop an understanding of IP packet forwarding and network services.
