SUBJECT GUIDE

Welcome

Electronics and Circuits is a subject in the Engineering Degree course for students who major in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or

Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering.

This subject focuses on developing a set of field-of-practice skills and knowledge:

• It develops an applied base for your field-of-practice knowledge.

• It develops competence in the use of laboratory equipment through laboratory work and problem-based learning.

• It lets you apply core skills and knowledge to a field-of-practice.

Electronics and Circuits is a subject in the first year of the course – it helps to develop your academic and information literacy skills, and starts to build the academic foundations of professional engineering. It also helps you to acquire mastery of laboratory equipment required for the academic and workplace experiences.

You will be expected to start taking on more responsibility for your own learning. While self-managed learning offers you choices about how and when you study, we also understand that you will learn best if there are convenient opportunities for you to interact with fellow students and course staff.

Therefore, the subject provides a balance between the convenience of independent learning and the stimulation of academic life. We hope you enjoy the content, learning experiences and assessment tasks that make up this subject as well as the benefits of managing your own learning.

Your Subject Coordinator

Dr Peter McLean is a Senior Lecturer at UTS in the School of Electrical,

Mechanical and Mechatronic Systems within the Faculty of Engineering and

Where this subject fits into the course

This subject is a Stage 2 field-of-practice subject which is a fundamental component of the Electrical, Mechanical and Mechanical and Mechatronic

Majors within various Bachelor of Engineering Degrees.

The need for this subject

It is assumed that you have already been introduced to and attained competence in basic electrical concepts, simple DC and AC circuit analysis, passive elements, and the use of basic laboratory equipment. In this subject you will gain experience in the analysis of electronic circuits, operational amplifiers and electronics applications. It will be seen that engineering requires judgement, approximation and experience – and draws on many fields of mathematics and science.

The subject lays the foundation for many areas of further interest to the engineer – circuit analysis, electronics, and applications of electronics.

"The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work. "

- Emile Zola

(1840-1902)

Subject aims and objectives

The main objective of this subject is to familiarise students with common electronic devices and their applications. By the end of this subject, students should have acquired reasonable proficiency in the analysis of basic electronic circuits and be able to build and test circuits in the laboratory. Particular emphasis will be placed on the practical, hands-on aspects of electronics and to provide a solid foundation of working knowledge for all of the basic operational amplifier circuits. Laboratory work will be a significant proportion of in-class delivery so as to make students proficient in circuit construction, testing, troubleshooting and give them a sound knowledge of the use of test instruments.

Another objective is to show that practical electronic applications are relevant to other engineering and technical disciplines and may often be placed within a wider social and commercial context.

The subject will prepare you for more advanced topics on electronics and circuits which you may encounter in professional practice and in further subjects.

Content

The content covered is divided into sections, each of which addresses a fundamental area of electronics and circuits. The intention is that, as you work your way through the subject, your learning will be cumulative. That is, the content you cover in one section should directly help you to understand the topics that follow. A weekly learning schedule, based on a recommended study sequence of the sections, is given in the Study Guide. For each of the sections, a separate list of topics and suggested reading is also provided in the Study

Guide.

Prerequisite knowledge

You are expected to have successfully completed Introduction to Electrical

Engineering and Mathematical Modelling 1, or their equivalent.

Other subject information

The following information takes precedence over the default policies outlined in section 3.3.1 of the Faculty’s Student Guide.

Internet

The subject uses UTSOnline which contains the subject documentation and links to important learning aids. The URL is: http://online.uts.edu.au

You should regularly visit and explore the web site to keep informed of any important announcements such as timetable or assessment changes.

Lectures

You should attend all the lectures. They normally occur twice a week with a one hour duration. During the lectures you will have the opportunity to meet with fellow students and with your subject coordinator who will answer questions and highlight selected topics.

Laboratories

The laboratories are structured sessions that allow you to put into practice the knowledge delivered in lectures, using specialised equipment.

"In theory, there is

Twenty-four hour access to the computing laboratories will be given to no difference students during the semester. If you are unsure of your PIN and access between theory and practice. But, in arrangements, visit: practice, there is." http://pinaccess.uts.edu.au

- Jan L.A. van de

Snepscheut

Einstein (1879-

1955)

Assessment

Assessment for this subject is criterion-referenced. This means that your performance is measured against a set of criteria, not against the performance of other students.

The assessment criteria for this subject

In assessing your performance we will be looking for evidence that:

You are able to apply basic circuit laws such as Kirchhoff’s laws and

Thévenin’s Theorem to a variety of linear circuits, including those with controlled sources.

You have understood the concepts used in analysing and designing electric circuits including DC circuits, AC circuits, and the concept of time-domain transients and frequency-domain frequency response.

You have been exposed to the concept of nonlinearity, especially as it applies to the diode’s characteristic and its behaviour in circuits.

You are able to analyse and design circuits using operational amplifiers, and understand the concept of negative and positive feedback.

You have experienced different methods of generating and measuring electrical signals and are able to operate laboratory equipment in an independent and proficient manner.

Assessment tasks

The assessment tasks and their weighting are given in the Subject Outline.

Please note that Rule 3.9 of the University describes the circumstances under which the University may retain a copy of your work. You should ensure that you are familiar with this rule by visiting the following web site: http://www.gsu.uts.edu.au/rules/3-9.html

In this subject, your work may be retained for purposes of assessment, disciplinary procedures, quality and accreditation processes and related activities.

Assessment dates

All assessment dates are shown in the Study Guide.

Electronics and Circuits Autumn 2013 2013-04-10

Assessment policy and procedures

You are required to read and become familiar with the UTS Procedures for the

Assessment of Coursework Subjects, and in particular Section 5.2 – which deals with completing assessment tasks and plagiarism. You may visit the following web site for the current version of the manual: http://www.gsu.uts.edu.au/policies/assessment-coursework-procedures.html

Section 5 also outlines procedures for obtaining special learning and assessment arrangements, such as extended time in tests and examinations.

Normally you apply for these arrangements through the Academic Liaison

Officer. A list of current Academic Liaison Officers is on the web at: http://www.ssu.uts.edu.au/sneeds/services/assessment/alo.html

Calculators

Only non-programmable calculators are allowed for the final exam.

In the past, a number of students have used their smart phone calculator apps in the tutorials. Although it is not a problem in the tutorials, please remember that you are allowed to use ONLY non-programmable calculators during the

Mid-Semester Test and the Final Exam. It is therefore advisable to use the same type of non-programmable calculator in the tutorials.

If you do not own a non-programmable calculator, you can arrange a loan of one by contacting the UTS Union.

Enrolment

Ensure that you are enrolled in the subject before the end of Week 2: https://onestopadmin.uts.edu.au/estudent/

Please remember

Check the subject web site regularly each week to make sure you don’t miss any important announcements about assessment items.

Submit all assessment items on the date due as extensions are very difficult to arrange.

Keep a copy of all assessment items that you submit.

If you are repeating the subject, there are no exemptions from assessment tasks completed in previous semesters.

STUDY GUIDE

There are three components to completing your study of Electronics and

Circuits. They are:

 reading the lecture notes and attempting the WebTutor exercises

 reading the textbook and attempting the set exercises

 undertaking laboratories and completing the assessment items

"Whether you think that you can, or that you can't, you are usually right."

- Henry Ford

(1863-1947)

To guide you through these tasks there is a Timetable.

Structure of the Timetable

The Timetable will help you manage your learning in Electronics and Circuits.

It does so through the following design features:

It is organised in logical, linked and digestible steps, so that where your learning is headed remains clear. Each session of the Timetable refers to:

A lecture in the Lecture Notes. Each lecture may have associated exercises and quizzes that should be attempted in that session.

Textbook sections that are required reading and textbook problems that should be attempted in that session.

Assessment tasks that should be started, or are due.

The Timetable asks you, therefore, to be an active learner; not a passive reader. You should keep in mind that to achieve the necessary competence to pass this subject it is not sufficient to just read the pages of the lecture notes and readings a few weeks before assessment tasks are due. Apart from understanding the concepts given in the lecture notes, you also need to practice solving problems, undertake laboratories and allow yourself sufficient time to reflect on what you have learnt.

You can see what the learning tasks will be for each session of the

Timetable before you begin. This enables you to mentally prepare for the learning tasks while you work through the session topic. In this way your learning stays focused on the main areas of the session; you don’t lose your way in the details.

Electronics and Circuits Autumn 2013 2013-04-10

vii

The Lecture Notes

The lecture notes should be read before each session so that lectures can concentrate on particular topics of interest rather than trying to cover all the material.

Structure of the Lecture Notes

The Lecture Notes are an on-going development through a process of continual feedback from students attempting to learn the topics as well as a continual updating of the content as technology changes. Difficult or hard-to-grasp topics are expanded; or are presented in a different manner to the readings; or Margin notes help highlight the real-world application of the topic. Prerequisite material is often you navigate the material recapped. The focus of the Lecture Notes is towards the practical application of theory, so those topics that are important to this goal are treated fairly thoroughly. The Lecture Notes are therefore a complement to the readings, as well as a summary of the important topics.

Exercises

WebTutor

WebTutor is a learning tool that is accessible to UTS students on the Web at the URL: https://ecwebtutor.eng.uts.edu.au/ecwebtutor/index.cfm

WebTutor presents you with exercises based on the lecture topics – they are similar to the end-of-chapter problems in the textbook. The exercises are unique, as they are randomly generated by WebTutor each time an exercise is viewed. This means it is extremely unlikely that you will see exactly the same exercise twice.

You can try your solution to an exercise as many times as you wish. For each attempt your answer will be marked by the software and you will see your grade and the exact answer. However, those trial answers and grades will not be recorded for assessment purposes.

Once you are confident that you know how to solve the type of exercises you are currently practising, you can choose to be examined . You will be presented with a new (but similar) exercise. This time your answer and score (as well as the exercise parameters) will be recorded for assessment purposes. Each exercise can be examined only once.

In order to help students focus on a particular topic, pace their learning and provide timely feedback on their efforts, each exercise has a deadline . Your submissions will only be accepted ON or BEFORE the deadline ! (For instance, if the deadline is listed as 2013-03-03, you will be able to submit your solution at any time up until 23:59:59 on that date).

Electronics and Circuits Autumn 2013 2013-04-10

viii

Online help is available for most exercises from within WebTutor. In addition to the solutions provided on a CD accompanying the textbook, numerical solutions to most textbook problems and worked solutions to some are available on UTSOnline. If you require more help, tutor(s) will be available for consultations in the LDC1.

Textbook

You should not limit your learning to solving the WebTutor problems. Your textbooks have excellent sets of end-of-chapter exercises and you are strongly encouraged to attempt as many of them as possible. As a minimum, you should work on exercises that are recommended in the Timetable.

Textbooks

Textbooks are where you find the detail of the topics covered in this subject.

Electronics and Circuits Autumn 2013 2013-04-10

Learning and Design Centre

The Learning and Design Centre 1 (LDC1) in room CB01.25.15 contains special laboratory equipment associated with this subject for out-of-hours learning and laboratory catch-up sessions. You can use LDC1 to conduct the laboratories, either before or after their scheduled time, to assist with your learning.

The Assessment Tasks

The Laboratories are published in documents separate to the Lecture Notes. It is up to you to submit each assessment item on time. The due dates for assessment items are given in the Timetable.

Please remember that if you are repeating this subject, there are no exemptions from assessment tasks completed in previous semesters.

Learning in partnership

Using a fellow student as a learning partner has been found repeatedly to be an important learning support. The idea is that you contact a fellow student, by phone or whatever means is most convenient, to discuss your interpretation of a learning task, to check if your approaches are the same and to generally clear up any confusions which may have arisen. It has been found that well over half of the concerns students experience about their learning are to do with simply checking that they are 'on the right track' and can be solved using this method.

If, however, the concern or uncertainty remains, it is then recommended that you contact your subject coordinator.

Your learning plan

Your time

Organising your time is a major challenge in learning. Leaving recommended readings and assessment items to the last minute is a common problem. To assist you with this challenge you may find it useful to plan your study time before you start work on this subject. First decide on the best place and time each week to study without distractions and then make sure to adhere to your own plan.

It is estimated that over a period of 14 semester weeks you should set aside a total of approximately 8 hours of study time each week. It is recommended that you break up those hours into at least two study sessions each on a different day of the week. This is a rough guide only, as people learn at different rates and from different levels of experience.

Your assessment item due dates are prescribed directly on the Timetable and are highlighted.
