48531 Electromechanical Systems

6cp

Requisite(s): 48510 Introduction to Electrical Engineering AND 33230 Mathematical Modelling 2
Fields of practice: Electrical Engineering program
Undergraduate
Subject coordinator: Dr Gerard Boardman

The objectives of this subject are to familiarise students with the fundamental laws of electromagnetism, magnetic and electrostatic field concepts, basic AC and DC circuit analysis, and the interchange of electric and magnetic energy. By the end of the subject students will be able to model a selection of electromechanical systems and understand their applications.

Technical and theoretical content is expected to be acquired by students to the levels of 'know' (essential), 'familiar' (can solve problems if required), and 'aware' (have read/seen). Laboratory skills ranging from electrical safety, measurements, design validation and experimental verification are an important focus of this subject.

Assessment: Typically assessment for this subject involves laboratory work, a mid-semester test and a final examination.
