Good understanding of electrical system operation is of fundamental importance to be an effective engineer in the 21st century. This paper provides the basic to further study into electrification, automation and robotics, artificial intelligence, along with renewable energy and the internet, things that are shapping the world of tomorrow. This course covers fundamentals of electrical circuits based on linear components, with a brief introduction to non-linear components and delivery of electrical power. It assumes a basic familiarity with voltage, current, energy, power, conductors and insulators.

The course will emphasize self-directed learning. Students will be expected to monitor their own progress through feedback and take appropriate, corrective actions. Students are also expected to manage their time and plan their workload carefully such that they do not miss any assessment component. The recorded lectures are available online through Moodle and is the first stop for learning new topic each week. Lectures and worksheet discussion classes will be running throughout the trimester to provide additional interactions and customized supports.

Students attend two lectures, one worksheet discussion class and one laboratory each week.

• Lectures and Labs will start on week 1 . Complete the online quiz by the same day you have lecture.
• Tutorials commence in the week 2
• Tests are conducted online through Moodle
• There will be an examination at the end of the trimester.

Lectures
The self-pace study occurs one week before the scheduled topic will be discussed in the class. For example, we will cover Ohm's Law in week 2. That means we expect, during week 1, every student to watch all the videos listed under week 2 section of the Moodle and go through the relevant section of the textbook. Attempt the week 2 online quiz during week 1, you can expect your questions answered in the lecture session in week 2.

Tutorials
One-hour tutorial every week will go through worked examples to prepare the class for examination.

Labs
All lab related works should be completed within the allocated three-hour session. Consult Moodle page for detail information regarding labs.

Online Quizzes
Online quizzes are available online through Moodle and are assessed. Have as many attempts as you like. You are advised to attempt the online quizzes as soon as you complete the recorded lecture (and textbook) to find out any gap in understanding. That way you can make the best use of the coming lecture/tutorial slots to fill-up the gap in your understanding.

Tests
There will be one-hour test running on Moodle every fortnight. These tests are a major assessed component in this paper. The tests have one hour time limit. You are responsible to find a suitable computer to complete the test. Missing the test time will result in zero mark for the test component.

Please do not assume all assessment due date follow the same pattern. Check individual assessment opening and closing time on Moodle. This is part of the training as engineer to cope with varying week-to-week tasks.

Some recorded lectures are mandatory. You will be allowed to attempt quizzes & tests only after completing the specified recorded lectures.

This restriction will be enforced to help your to maintain consistent pace of learning and to ensure everyone's safety in the laboratory.
