Part II

This course covers the fundamental concepts, general background and practical knowledge of electrical and electronic engineering at a level appropriate for industrial engineering and manufacture engineering students. The course aims to present the principles of electrical and electronic engineering with practical applications. Furthermore, this course also aims to equip students with analysis skills of various circuits and design skills of some simple circuits, and thus enable students to develop skills in solving practical problems of electrical and electronic engineering.

Course Intended Learning Outcomes (CILOs)
Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to:

No.	CILOs	Level of Importance
1.	state and apply basic circuit laws, such as Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's current law, Kirchoff’s voltage law, to simple circuit analysis	1
2.	solve DC circuit problems by applying various analytical methods: network analysis, node-voltage analysis, mesh-current analysis, Thévenin and Norton equivalents, superposition	3
3.	explain transient/steady-state responses and phasors, and solve AC circuit problems	3
4.	solve electronic circuit problems such as rectifier circuits, wave-shaping circuits, filter circuits, resonance circuits, and amplifier circuits	2
5.	design simple filters and amplifiers	2

Teaching and learning Activities (TLAs)
(Indicative of likely activities and tasks designed to facilitate students’ achievement of the CILOs. Final details will be provided to students in their first week of attendance in this course)

Activity Type:	Timetabled Activity (Hours per week)
Lecture/Tutorial/Laboratory Mix:	Lecture (3); Laboratory (9/13)

TLAs	Large Class Activities *	Laboratory Work	Total (Hours)
CILO 1	3	-	3
CILO 2	11	3	14
CILO 3	11	3	14
CILO 4	9	-	9
CILO 5	5	3	8
Total (hrs)	39	9	48

* Large class activities include lectures, tutorials, and case studies. Office hours (3 hrs/week) are set aside during the semester to allow students to discuss with teaching staff regarding any problem encountered within the course.

Assessment Tasks/Activities
(Indicative of likely activities and tasks designed to assess how well the students achieve the CILOs. Final details will be provided to students in their first week of attendance in this course)

ATs	Examination (2.5 hours)	Quizzes	Exercises	Lab Reports	Total (%)
CILO 1	10	3	2	-	15
CILO 2	15	4	2	5	26
CILO 3	15	4	2	5	26
CILO 4	10	4	2	-	16
CILO 5	10	-	2	5	17
Total (%)	60	15	10	15	100

For a student to pass the course, at least 30% of the maximum mark for the examination should be obtained.

Grading of Student Achievement:

The grading is assigned based on students’ performance in assessment tasks/activities.

A– if all ILOs are well achieved but 2,3,4, & 5 excellent.

B – if all are well achieved.

C– if 1,2, 3, and 4 are reasonably achieved.

D– if marginal or only 2 ILOs are achieved.
