ENGINEERING PRACTICE

ELE5PRA

2020

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

Students will focus on surveying current experimental practice in electronics. Topics covered include the Digital Storage Oscilloscope, Digital Circuits and other devices that may be relevant. Students also learn a range of software tools and programming languages such as MATLAB, industry recognised IDEs, Embedded C and C. Students are expected to develop a high level of proficiency in using the above devices as well as a range of laboratory equipment, such as power supplies, signal generators, PCs and development boards.
