Note: My earlier registration of this subject is now no longer in my dashboard/my courses

The students will be exposed to design principles of Printed circuit board (PCB) throughout the course. They will be taught theory linked to PCB design principles, safety concerns and software tool of NI Multisim and Ultiboard for PCB fabrication. This course will bridge the gap between the industry and academia to build the skills for future engineering career as PCB/hardware design engineer. 

To explain the main concepts in engineering ethics, risk management and occupational safety and health

A specialised branch of electrical engineering focused on safeguarding electrical equipment(generators and transformers ) from faults such as short circuits and overcurrent

This subject is intended to give the students deep knowledge about high voltage engineering. It focuses on the phenomena of high voltage surges and insulation coordination for power systems, characteristics of conduction and breakdown of gas, liquid and solid dielectrics. Generation of high voltages, their measurement and testing technique for high voltage components. In this subject, the student are also exposed to lightning phenomena and their protection

This course covers topics related to power quality standards such as types of power quality problems which is able to influence the quality of power system and harmonic distortion. The techniques to monitor power quality and power quality improvement also will be covered in this course. 

This is a capstone design project. The objective is to enhance students’ skill and capability in complex engineering problem analysis and solving, system design, project implementation and management. The grouping shall be such that the work is divisible individually and the report is to be compiled from the individual task allocated.

Course Summary:

This module provides a comprehensive understanding of various instruments used in engineering measurements, focusing on electrical measurement theory and practice.
