Objectives To provide students with an understanding of the fundamental design processes of electrical device design. To introduce the concepts of trade-off between competing requirements and of practical design in attempting to optimise a design. To demonstrate alternative techniques of design based on theoretical models and on practical observation. To introduce electronic construction techniques.

Synopsis Thermal analysis of electrical systems including heat generation, storage, transfer and dissipation processes. Design of DC voltage and current coils considering the interaction of specifications, material properties, design equations and key assumptions. Analysis of iron-cored/air-gap chokes using theoretical and empirical design approaches. Construction of electronic circuits using soldering, wirewrapping and breadboarding techniques. Use of PC software for schematic capture of circuit design.
