Electrical systems and computer engineering
D G Holmes
4 points * 26 lectures, 26 hours of laboratory practicals and tutorials * First/Second semester * Clayton * Prerequisites: VCE Specialist Mathematics
Objectives The student is expected to develop a basic knowledge of the nature of electrical circuits and an understanding of the concepts involved in the modelling of electrical circuits. This knowledge should cover dc circuits, transients in circuits described by first-order differential equations, ac power systems, feedback control and logic circuits described by Boolean algebra.
Synopsis Basic circuit theory and its application to electrical circuits, laws describing the behaviour of capacitors and inductors, the response of first-order electrical circuits as determined by the solution of first-order, linear differential equations with constant coefficients. Power in ac systems. Feedback control, including dynamics of first-order systems. Boolean algebra and its application to propositional logic and digital logic.
Assessment Examination (2 hours): 80% * Tests: 10% * Laboratory work: 10%
