Band 3 2021 (Commenced Before 1 Jan 2021)
This unit will focus on basic concepts on electronics systems as shown the following items: - analog DC electronics: charge, current, voltage, Ohm's law, Kirchoffs laws series and parallel etc., voltage divider, current divider, simplifying resistor networks, power and power transfer; - analog AC electronics: alternating current and voltage, frequency, period, phase, amplitude, P-P, Peak, RMS, capacitor circuit and reactance, inductor circuit and reactance, RC, RL circuits, phasor notation and its applications. Ideal Opamp, such as open loop gain, inverting and non-inverting configuration; basic concepts about electromagnetism: electric and magnetic fields.
This unit may be cotaught with 10091 Electronics Systems G.

Learning outcomes

On 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; and
3. Recognise the basic concepts about ideal Op-amp, model, Open loop gain, inverting and non-inverting configuration.

Submission of assessment items

Extensions & Late submissions

Late submission of the mid-session quiz will not be accepted. 

Approval of extenuating circumstances for late submission of assignments will be dependent upon the production of supporting documentation and at the discretion of the unit convener.

No other forms of submission other than the indicated in each assessment item will be accepted. Submissions via email will be ignored. If a student chooses to submit his/her assignment via the Internet off the campus, it is the student's responsibility to guarantee the accessibility of the Internet. Not being able to access to the Internet at a location which is off campus is not an excuse for extension. 

Students will be asked to confirm the following online declaration at the point of submission.  I certify that:

1. The attached assignment is my own work and no part of this work has been written for me by any other person except where such collaboration has been authorised by the lecturer/s concerned;

2. Material drawn from other sources has been fully acknowledged as to author/creator, source and other bibliographic details according to unit-specific requirements for referencing; and

3. No part of this work has been submitted for assessment in any other unit in this or another Faculty except where authorised by the lecturer/s concerned. 

Special assessment requirements

OVERALL MARK & REQUIREMENTS TO PASS THE UNIT

Each assessment item will be given a grade and an associated percentage mark. The marks will be totalled to produce an overall coursework mark.

The Overall Mark will be calculated as follows:

Overall Mark =

Lab report (30%) +

Mid-session Quiz (35%) + 

In-class Quiz (35%)

 

Condition to PASS the unit:

1. Students need to obtain at least 50% in the Overall Mark, calculated as described above.

Once you have met the condition for a Pass, higher grades will be awarded on the basis of the highest category shown below, in which your marks fit.

85 <= Final marks <= 100

Final grade = HD

75 <= Final marks < 85

Final grade = DI

65 <= Final marks < 75

Final grade = CR

50 <= Final marks < 65

Final grade = P

0 <= Final marks < 50

Final grade = FAIL (NX, NS, NC or NN)

 

The unit convener reserves the right to question students orally on any of their submitted work, including the Final Exam. Marks awarded maybe adjusted based on this questioining. 

Academic integrity

Students have a responsibility to uphold University standards on ethical scholarship. Good scholarship involves building on the work of others and use of others' work must be acknowledged with proper attribution made. Cheating, plagiarism, and falsification of data are dishonest practices that contravene academic values. Refer to the University's Student Charter for more information.

To enhance understanding of academic integrity, all students are expected to complete the Academic Integrity Module (AIM) at least once during their course of study. You can access this module within UCLearn (Canvas) through the 'Academic Integrity and Avoiding Plagiarism' link in the Study Help site.

Use of Text-Matching Software

The University of Canberra uses text-matching software to help students and staff reduce plagiarism and improve understanding of academic integrity. The software matches submitted text in student assignments against material from various sources: the internet, published books and journals, and previously submitted student texts.
