• As specified in programme regulations.

Aims

• This module is designed for students studying Department of Engineering degree programmes.
• It provides a working knowledge of electrical and electronic circuit theory, component, electromagnetism and hardware interfacing.
• It shows how the material covered fits into the wider engineering context.

Content

• Fundamentals of circuit theory and equivalent circuits
• Signal conditioning for electronic measurements
• Fundamentals of electric and magnetic fields and their application in electrical machines
• Basic operation of digital systems
• Problem sheets

Learning Outcomes

• An understanding of DC and AC circuits and their analysis methods.
• An understanding of the methods and considerations involved in electronic measurements.
• An understanding of electromagnetism and electrostatics.
• Basic understanding of interfacing with digital systems.

• Solution of problems involving electronic and electrical circuits.

• Numerical skills appropriate to an engineer
• General problem solving skills

Modes of Teaching, Learning and Assessment and how these contribute to the learning outcomes of the module

• Lectures and associated tutorials, as lectures are the most efficient way to impart the required knowledge in this context.
• Application of course material to weekly problem sheets, as this reinforces knowledge and provides training in problem solving.
• Written examinations, as these can directly assess knowledge, understanding and problem solving ability.
• Students are able to make use of staff 'Tutorial Hours' to discuss any aspect of the module with teaching staff on a one-to-one basis. These are sign up sessions available for up to one hour per week per lecture course.
