SYSTEMS ENGINEERING, UNIT 2 ELECTROTECHNOLOGY ENGINEERING FUNDAMENTALS

SCOPE AND SEQUENCE TOPICS

1. Understanding of the fundamental principles of electrical and electronic circuits. 2. Apply knowledge in the design and construction of a functional system. 3. Exploring new and emerging electrotechnological systems.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

On completion of this unit the student should be able to: Outcome 1

Illustrate and use theoretical principles of electrotechnology systems Outcome 2

Design, plan, produce and evaluate a functional integrated system with reference to relevant Australian Standards, and apply diagnostic fault-finding, repair and maintenance techniques in the production activities.

Outcome 3 Explain how new and emerging technologies influence the selection and development of a process,

material or component, and impacts on the design and ultimate function of technological systems. ASSESSMENT TASKS
