General Information

Overview

This unit will teach students about designing fluid power systems for automated and semi-automated industrial plants. You will be exploring fluid power elements and their ISO standard symbols, designing fluid power circuits using hydraulic and pneumatic actuators, power sources, directional control and other control valves, sensors and control systems. Control technology may include both hydraulic and pneumatic systems integrated with programmable controllers (PLCs and micro-controllers). During the mandatory residential school you will attain, in a team, hands-on skills in automation circuit design experiencing several laboratory experiments in areas of hydraulic and pneumatic operating system design and control circuit design integrated with PLCs for automated machines. Simulation systems like SimScape and FluidSim may be applied for confirming the functionality of your designed projects. You will communicate professionally using discipline-specific terminology to present designs and problem solutions accomplishing a Student Portfolio. Relevant problem solving, technical reports on projects and laboratory experiments are the formative assessment items during the Term. Online students are required to have access to a computer and internet to make frequent use of the Unit Moodle.

Offerings For Term 1 - 2026

Mixed Mode

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).

Website

This unit has a website, within the Moodle system, which is available two weeks before the start of term. It is important that you visit your Moodle site throughout the term. Please visit Moodle for more information.

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

Lab instruction sheets

Recommendation

Revisiting the Lab instruction sheets and rewriting and reorganising the unit should make it easier to comprehend.

Feedback from SUTE

Feedback

Lab report submission

Recommendation

Lab experiments should be started earlier in the term to avoid report submission in two stages.

Feedback from Evaluation report

Feedback

The contents of the unit are aligned to modern day industry practices.

Recommendation

It is recommended that the unit content should be kept as is and that more modern examples and experiences from the industry should be included.
