Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:1. Understand analog DC electronics such as charge, current, voltage, Ohm's law, Kirchoff's laws series and parallel;
2. Articulate analog AC electronics: alternating current and voltage, frequency, period, phase, amplitude, phasor notation, impedance;
3. Recognise the basic concepts about ideal Op-amp, model, Open loop gain, inverting and non-inverting configuration; and
4. Analyse and design analogue electronic circuits using electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, inductor, diode, transistor, rectifiers.

Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
Artificial intelligence
- Guided: Students will be guided on how GenAI must/may be used in completing the assessment, as detailed in the unit outline and assessment instructions. More detailed information can be found at GenAI and Assessment at UC
- All use of GenAI must be cited (in-text) and referenced (in the reference list) according to the UC Referencing Guide, with appendices summarising any prompts and output received from GenAI (as this information would otherwise not be available to the marker).
-
Not Allowed: You may not ask the AI to "rewrite" large sections for you. You must manually apply any feedback provided by the tool. You must include the GenAI Acknowledgement Statement stating that the tool was used for proofreading and structural feedback only.
Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at UC. This includes submitting authentic and original work for assessments and properly acknowledging any sources used.
Academic integrity involves the ethical, honest and responsible use, creation and sharing of information. It is critical to the quality of higher education. Our academic integrity values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.
UC students have to complete the Academic Integrity Module annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).
UC uses various strategies and systems, including detection software, to identify potential breaches of academic integrity. Suspected breaches may be investigated, and action can be taken when misconduct is found to have occurred.
Information is provided in the Academic Integrity Policy, Academic Integrity Procedure, and University of Canberra (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
