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.

Pre-requisites or Co-requisites
Pre-requisite: ENEE12014 Electrical Circuit Analysis
Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability. See details in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).
Offerings For Term 2 - 2026
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).

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
The unit assessments effectively supported learning.
The key assessment structure should be maintained.
Feedback from SUTE
Some mathematical procedures were abstract and challenging for students.
Additional mathematical support should be recommended or provided for students’ self-learning outside class.
Feedback from SUTE
Incorporating more worked examples and real-world applications would improve understanding of the unit’s relevance to essential knowledge, skills, and the engineering degree.
Relevant worked examples and real-world applications should be included in the unit content and explained during class.
Feedback from SUTE
Assessment requirements should include more detailed instructions and clearly explained expectations.
Detailed marking rubrics should accompany all assessment tasks.
