General Information

Overview

Electrical systems are fundamental to our way of life, including electrical power, telecommunications, and automatic control systems. In this unit, you will learn mathematical techniques to analyse and design a wide range of electrical systems, such as communication, electrical power distribution, and transmission and control systems. You will be introduced to the concept of linear time-invariant systems and several mathematical tools used for system analysis, especially electrical system analysis, such as forward and inverse Laplace transforms, s-domain circuit analysis, and transfer function. You will also be introduced to the frequency response of a system, identify filter types, and design filters for given specifications. Through this unit, you will gain programming experience in using simulation software to analyse signals and linear systems. This unit will provide you with the opportunities to further develop communication skills through developing technical documentation and reports. All students must have access to a computer, frequently use the Internet, and complete the compulsory practical activities. Furthermore, the unit also aims to promote the UN sustainable development Goal 9 - Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialisation, and foster innovation by developing an understanding of how to build resilient and sustainable automation and intelligence systems to support industrial innovation.

Attendance Requirements

All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).

Previous Student Feedback

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Feedback from SUTE

Feedback

The use of a document camera for solving tutorial questions was highly appreciated.

Recommendation

This practice should be continued in future offerings.

Feedback from UC reflection

Feedback

The difficulty level of the final assessment should be adjusted to align with the expected unit learning outcomes.

Recommendation

The final assessment should be reviewed and adjusted to match the expected level of learning outcomes.

Feedback from SUTE

Feedback

Materials should be better aligned with assessment to promote effective learning.

Recommendation

A more direct alignment between learning content and assessment should be established.

Feedback from SUTE

Feedback

The unit content was extensive, causing class sessions to run over time.

Recommendation

The unit content should be streamlined to ensure class sessions stay within the allocated duration.

Feedback from SUTE

Feedback

The relevance of the unit content to the degree should be communicated to students.

Recommendation

The relevance of the unit content to the degree and future career should be explained to students during class.

Feedback from SUTE

Feedback

The unit requirements could be clearer.

Recommendation

More detailed instructions about the unit requirements and assessments should be provided to students in class, as well as the assessment materials.

Feedback from SUTE

Feedback

Assessment feedback for online quizzes should be more detailed to enhance understanding.

Recommendation

Online quiz assessments should provide more descriptive feedback with clear connections to the learning materials.
