  • Learning Outcomes
    Course Learning Outcomes
    On successful completion of this course students will be able to:

     
    1 Describe and analyse electric power generation based on principles of conversion of thermal, solar and wind power into mechanical and electrical power. Understand the major components of an electric power system.
    2 Describe the basic principles of DC and AC electric machines and variable-speed drives. Understand the major components of an electric traction drive.
    3 Analyse the performance of a DC motor or generator using its equivalent circuit. Explain its operating principles and construction including back-emf constant and efficiency.
    4 Analyse single and three-phase AC power circuits using phasors, to determine real and reactive power flow and demonstrate power-factor correction.
    5 Analyse the performance of transformers and explain concepts of back-emf equation, saturation and iron losses.
    6 Analyse the performance of an induction machine using its equivalent circuit. Explain the operating principles, construction and concepts of slip.
    7 Explain the operating principles, construction and performance of synchronous machines.
    8 Develop practical skills in performing tests on electrical machines to determine their parameters and performance. Analyse and discuss the results in experimental reports.

  • Assessment

    The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
