Course Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this course students will be able to:

1	Describe the process of sampling mathematically and articulate its benefits and limitations in modern engineering applications
2	Use and manipulate representations of discrete-time signals in both the time and frequency domains
3	Analyse and design discrete-time, linear shift-invariant (LSI) systems to manipulate discrete-time signals
4	Apply various techniques underpinned by z- and Fourier transforms for signal processing applications
5	Choose the most appropriate domain to perform processing, and switch fluidly between different domains
6	Describe the characteristics of stochastic signals and processes using statistical measures, and apply them to model real-world systems
7	Perform basic statistical spectrum analysis and apply them to the analysis of synthetic and real-world data in MATLAB
8	Write MATLAB code to perform signal processing functions in a team environment, to produce a high level product for real-world use

The above course learning outcomes are aligned with the Engineers Australia Stage 1 Competency Standard for the Professional Engineer.

Learning & Teaching Activities

Learning & Teaching Modes

This course uses a conventional lecture/tutorial delivery of material. Students are expected to spend time outside of these to attain the learning outcomes.

Workload

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

There will be up to 42 contact hours throughout the course. Students are expected to spend approximately 100 hours of private study, preparing for tutorials, tests, quizzes and assignments.

Learning Activities Summary

No information currently available.

The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
Assessment must maintain academic standards.

Student Feedback

The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Feedback from 2015 SELTs (plans for 2016 in italics):
- content, including Matlab, is difficult. Update tutorials to better reflect the learning needs of the class.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student’s disciplinary procedures.

The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
