Description

This unit introduces the general principles of engineering design within the broad context of electrical engineering and applies knowledge and skills acquired in earlier units to a substantial real-world design project. It prepares students for their final year project and also provides elements of engineering professional practice through a systematic design and synthesis process. Students will work in teams and will be required to develop creative solutions and effectively communicate the project outcomes.

Prerequisite Rule

For Honours students only: Students must pass ENS1253.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Implement a systematic design and synthesis process to a real-world electrical engineering design problem.
  2. Analyse, evaluate and formulate a creative design solution for an electrical engineering design project.
  3. Research and orally present contemporary developments in electrical engineering design.
  4. Apply effective teamwork skills to collaboratively plan, research and communicate outcomes of an engineering design project.

Unit Content

  1. Planning for electrical design.
  2. High level design considerations for various electrical engineering applications, eg. power generation and transmission, power system equipment, lighting, lamps, and luminaires, telephone, multimedia, and alarm systems, signalling and communications, etc.
  3. Design project specifications.
  4. Design approaches and options.
  5. Design verification.
  6. Project delivery.

Learning Experience

Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECUs LMS

Academic Misconduct

Edith Cowan University has firm rules governing academic misconduct and there are substantial penalties that can be applied to students who are found in breach of these rules. Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to:

  • plagiarism;
  • unauthorised collaboration;
  • cheating in examinations;
  • theft of other students' work;

Additionally, any material submitted for assessment purposes must be work that has not been submitted previously, by any person, for any other unit at ECU or elsewhere.

The ECU rules and policies governing all academic activities, including misconduct, can be accessed through the ECU website.
