Electrical, Electronic & Digital Principles

Who is the course for?

The aim of this module is to develop learners’ understanding of electrical and electronic principles necessary for further study in the specialist area of electro-mechanical systems.

What will I study?

Apply complex notation in analysis of single phase circuits
- solve problems involving LCR circuits
- evaluate the effects on circuit performance of changes in values of impedances

Apply circuit theory to the solution of circuit problems
- solve problems using circuit theorems to calculate currents and voltage in circuits
- analyse circuits including the value of circuit loadswhich produce maximum power

Evaluate the operation of electronic amplifier circuits used in electro-mechanical systems
- analyse the operation of single- and two-stage amplifiers
- evaluate the performance of single- and two-stage amplifiers
- design and evaluate a single-stage transistor amplifier
- compare measured results with theoretical calculations

Investigate digital electronic circuits used in electro-mechanical systems.
- evaluate digital electronic device families
- design combinational and sequential digital electronic circuits
- test digital circuits by construction, or by computer simulation

Assessment Outcomes: At the end of these modules the student should be able to demonstrate a practical capacity to carry out the tasks listed to a commercially acceptable standard, applying principles correctly in context but may not yet have developed a deep understanding of the theoretical underpinning of the subject. Optional assessments are included.

How will the course be delivered?

The course runs for a maximum of 1 week – 9am until 7pm.
