A unit of study in the Bachelor of Engineering (Telecommunication and Network Engineering) and Bachelor of Engineering (Telecommunication and Network Engineering) / Bachelor of Science (Computer Science and Software Engineering).
Students who successfully complete this unit will be able to: Outline and describe the basic technologies, concepts and techniques used in electronics and telecommunications systems. Experience in the work of a professional engineer in a representative context, and shared in the experience of other students engaged in other projects, leading to a more inclusive understanding of the engineering profession. Conduct an engineering design project from conception to final product. Develop problem identification and solution skills. Develop skills in working as part of a team. Improve skills in a range of communication modes. Develop physical skills appropriate to the project type. Reflect on personal strengths and weaknesses, and develop a better understanding of themselves as learners and individuals moving into an engineering career.
Lectures (36 hrs), Tutorials (12 hrs) and Laboratory Work (12 hrs)
Laboratory Reports and Presentations, Final Examination.
Data and voice communication over wired and wireless links in telecommunications networks, including telephony networks (fixed and mobile) and electronic computer systems and networks. Concepts will be introduced initially using examples from the early history of electronics and telecommunications technology and then comparing these to the current technologies.
