  • Learning Resources
    Required Resources
    A comprehensive set of course notes  will be made available. In addition, there will be LabVIEW-based computer simulations to facilitate your understanding and engage in applications and circuit operation of the course materials, which you will be able to access and execute in your own time.
    Recommended Resources
    Although the course notes will provide you a comprehensive overview, I  can recommend the following textbooks as supplementary resources to enrich your learning experience:

    "Power Electronics: Converters, Applications, and Design" by Ned Mohan, Tore M. Undeland, and William P. Robbins.This book provides a comprehensive introduction to power electronics, with  an emphasis on practical applications, making it a good reference for  understanding electric drives and power systems.

    "Electric Motor Drives: Modeling, Analysis, and Control" by R. Krishnan.This book provides a thorough overview of electric drive systems with  detailed modeling and control strategies. It's especially useful for  understanding motor drives in depth.

    "Modern Power Electronics and AC Drives" by Bimal K. Bose.This book provides detailed insight into power electronics and AC drives.  It's written by a renowned expert in the field and offers a balanced  treatment of both theoretical concepts and practical aspects of electric drives and power systems.

    Please note that these textbooks are meant to supplement the course notes and not replace them. They provide  different perspectives and additional information that will be beneficial for your understanding of the course materials.
    Online Learning
    I will make extensive use of the course website , where you will find a comprehensive set of course notes, quiz questions, practice problems, and online assessment tools. In addition, all the lecture videos will be available for you to download and revisit at your convenience.
  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes
    The course will be delivered primarily through lectures,supplemented by problem-solving tutorials to reinforce the content. You'll access all course materials , including lecture notes, quizzes, and online assessments. I will also post recorded lectures for you to review at your convenience.

    Before each lecture, please read the corresponding lecture material and attempt the questions provided. This will enhance your understanding and preparedness for class discussions.

    Assessments in this course include three written quizzes,with questions drawn from lecture content, and one major assignment focusing on the analysis of a key building block in Power Electronics, the DC/DC converter. These assessments are designed to reinforce your learning and understanding ofthe course materials.

    Please note that this course does not include a traditional practical component. Instead, I have provided LabVIEW-based virtual tools on the course site to illustrate circuit and motor drive operations.

    The final examination will cover the entire course content.
    Workload

    The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

    The University expects students to spend around 150 hours of work for a 3 unit course. This corresponds to roughly 12 hours per week. The following breakdown is a guide only. Some students will need to spend more time, some less.

  • 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.
