ENGR8802 has been successfully completed

This topic covers:

Techniques of AC circuit analysis including sinusoidal steady state current, voltage and power calculations applicable on singe and 3-phase AC circuitry
Fundamental principles of electromechanical energy conversion including transformer's theory and testing
General overview on structural/functional concepts of DC, synchronous and induction electrical machines including step-motoring

Electrical circuits and machines are fundamental building blocks of the electrical/electronic related Bachelor of Engineering degrees at Flinders. The topic aims are:

To teach electrical circuits and machines from both a theoretical and practical application's prospective
To teach students how to efficiently report findings performed in a practical environment and analyse/syntheses theory with practice
To develop critical thinking through evaluation of given tasks
The models, techniques and knowledge learnt will form the intellectual framework for future topics. This topic is an important foundation for learning how to design, operate and maintain electrical/electronic systems

At the completion of this topic, students are expected to be able to:

Understand AC circuits and machines
Analyse AC circuits
Apply AC circuit electromechanical conversion theory in the laboratory
Write an engineering laboratory report
Execute a range of skills in laboratory logbook maintenance
Develop independent critical thinking and ability to fluently and efficiently communicate engineering ideas and concepts to others (both in oral and written form)
