ENGN8120 Systems Modelling

Offered By	Research School of Engineering
Academic Career	Graduate Coursework
Course Subject	Engineering
Offered in	Autumn Session, 2012 and Second Semester, 2013
Unit Value	6 units
Course Description	This course introduces a broad range of non-trivial techniques and approaches for modelling and simulation of dynamic engineering systems. Techniques include discrete event models; first- and second-order system models; time, frequency and state space relations; and feedback systems. These concepts are introduced through the modelling of electrical systems, mechanical systems, energy systems, control systems etc. Modelling software such as EXTENDSIM, Matlab and Simulink will be key tools in this course.
Learning Outcomes	After completing this course students will be expected to: implement a wide range of deterministic and probabilistic system models. demonstrate the relationship between discrete and continuous systems. illustrate simple properties of dynamic systems in both time and frequency domains. implement system models in Matlab. evaluate the appropriate modelling paradigm(s) to describe behaviour of real engineering systems.
Indicative Assessment	Assignments (7x5% = 35%), major project (35%), and a final exam (30%).
Workload	100 hrs of which 35 hrs will be formally facilitated either online or face to face.
Course Classification(s)	TransitionalTransitional courses are designed for students from a broad range of backgrounds and learning achievements, which provide for the acquisition of generic skills; or an informed understanding of contemporary issues; or fundamental knowledge for transition to Advanced or Specialist courses.
Areas of Interest	Engineering
Requisite Statement	Entry to MEM or MEP program.
Recommended Courses	Linear algebra, integral and differential calculus and familiarity with MATLAB.
