ENEE12014 - Electrical Circuit Analysis

General Information

Unit Synopsis

This course introduces the modelling electrical components and systems. Students apply theorems and network reduction techniques to DC and AC circuits, and apply problem solving techniques in the analysis of linear circuits and single phase and three phase networks. The course enables students to explain transient phenomena, analyse the transient behaviour of circuits and apply appropriate software tools to the analysis of electrical circuits. Students use fundamental electrical engineering language in context and document the process of modelling and analysis. They present information, communicate, work and learn, both individually and in teams, in a professional manner. Distance education students will be required to have access to a computer, and to make frequent use of the Internet. Distance students are required to attend a residential school.

Attendance Requirements

All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes – in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).

Assessment Overview

Recommended Student Time Commitment

Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.

Assessment Tasks

Assessment Task Weighting
1. Written Assessment 20%
2. Written Assessment 20%
3. Practical and Written Assessment 20%
4. Written Assessment 0%
5. Examination 40%

This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%).
