This assessment is designed to give the lecturer as well as the students a good understanding of the fundamental
electrical machines knowledge that students have, coming into this unit. While there is no minimum pass mark for
anyone to be able to continue studying the unit, the students who score lower marks in this assessment will be
issued additional work to bring their fundamental knowledge up to par with the expectations of this unit. The content
tested will be the electrical machines fundamental knowledge students must have acquired during their undergraduate
studies. The test date will be announced in advanced and will be within Week 02 of the term. This is a pass/fail
assessment and hence no marks will be added to the unit total. However, non-completion would cause a fail mark and would thus block the student from completing the unit.

This will be an online quiz with every question formulated as a multiple choice question. Each question will carry equal
marks.

This compulsory assessment item covers the laboratory experiment component of the unit. On-campus students will
carry out the experiments during laboratory experiment sessions scheduled each week (attendance is compulsory).
Students will be formed into teams and each team must submit separate professional technical laboratory reports on
each experiment. The details of the experiments will be notified to students through the unit Website. Please also refer
to assessment criteria for more details.

Laboratory Exercise Reports will be graded using the following criteria:
Correct description of laboratory concepts and procedures;
Correct calculations, analysis and thinking;
Photographic evidence that circuits were constructed by the team;
Correct measurements, answers and units;
Photographic and other evidence that correct results / measurements were obtained by the team;
Discussion and understanding of laboratory results;
Team reports must be professional and typed, including references;
All laboratory exercises must be attempted.

This assignment is designed to assess the learning outcomes 1, 2 and 3 of this unit. The assignment will involve
problems associated with dynamic modelling and control of DC and AC electrical machines and modeling and control of AC
electrical machines using space vector theory. Students will work individually and make individual submissions.

Marks will be allocated for the following:
1. Application of theoretical fundamentals and justification thereof.
2. Correct theory or method deployed to analyse and/or design machine-drive systems where applicable.
3. Correct and tidy circuit diagrams/schematics and relevant input/output waveforms.
4. Correct mathematical working and correct answers. Evidence of checking of the results and interpretation of results.
5. All work and intermediate steps must be shown with justification of steps taken.
6. Assignments must be tidy and legible with good English and grammar.

This compulsory assessment item is the project component of the unit. Students will work in teams. Complete details of
an electrical machines and drive system design project will be provided on the unit Moodle website at the beginning of
the term. Teams will be working on their project throughout the term and submit a professional, typed team report. The
project is carried out by the teams to mimic team work that consulting engineers would do. It requires the student teams
to submit an expression of interest before a specified deadline communicated to the students through Moodle at the
early stages of the term. Later, the teams are supposed to attend a debriefing meeting mid-way through the project.
Final reports must be prepared as one submission per team are to be submitted before the deadline specified below.

Marks for the project will be given out of 100 based on the quality of each project activity; i.e:
Expression of Interest (12%)
Debriefing Meeting (8%)
Project Report (70%)
Peer Assessment (10%).
The marking schemes for each of those will be published on the Moodle site.

This take home examination will be monitored through a ZOOM session and students will have to provide written
answers to some questions.
1. Examination will be time scheduled and will take place for everyone at the same time.
2. Each student stays home with a device (preferably a laptop) essentially having a camera through which we can watch
the student in a ZOOM session during the examination (please make sure you have a device with these requirements
functioning).
3. That ZOOM link needs to be open throughout the exam.
4. The examination paper will be loaded to the Moodle site so that students only can access it during the examination
period.
5. The student uses blank A4 papers (single side) to write answers.
6. At the end of the examination, he/she first takes photos of all written pages and email invigilator.
7. Later he/she scan the pages and upload to Moodle within a specified time at the end of examination.
8. Examination date and time will be within the standard examination period for Term 1-2021.

Marks will be allocated for the following:
1. Application of theoretical fundamentals and justification thereof.
2. Correct theory or method deployed to analyse and/or design machine-drive systems where applicable.
3. Correct and tidy circuit diagrams/schematics and relevant input/output waveforms.
4. Correct mathematical working and correct answers. Evidence of checking of the results and interpretation of results.
5. All work and intermediate steps must be shown with justification of steps taken.
6. Submissions must be tidy and legible with good English and grammar.
