Electrical Circuits & Systems is the fundamental module for the electrical engineering programme. There are two knowledge cores for this module:
1) Magnetically Coupled Circuits,
2) Three Phase Circuits
which will be delivered to build the students’ knowledge tree on electrical circuits.
Purpose of a Power System, Generators, transformers and three-phase power will be delivered to build the students’ knowledge about power systems. This module is the prerequisite for Year 3 (Renewable Power Generation ) and Year 4 (Smart Grid, Advanced Power Electronics) electrical engineering modules.

This module aims to equip students with tools to analyse inter-related circuits and systems.
To provide students with an introduction to the components and composition of an electric power system.
To consider the different primary energy sources and the way in which power is delivered to the customers.
At the end of this module, students will be able to:

The Department of Electronic Engineering aims to provide some form of feedback on all formative and summative assessments that are carried out during the degree programme.
Feedback Statement:
(i) Formative Feedback
1. Regular labs allow you to engage with the MATLAB/Simulink model and receive verbal help and feedback on your Simulink modelling.
2. After class learning materials (webpage, Youtube linkage) on the module Wiki page help you to gain feedback on your understanding of the key module material covered in the lectures.
3. 6 seminars are arranged to help you to develop your application of circuit and system knowledge.
4. Emails to the Module Coordinator with Questions / Comments will be answered as soon as possible.
5. A draft version of your assignment can be submitted to the module coordinator before the end of term, who will confirm whether this is all in the correct format, along with some general written feedback comments, and a series of recommendations for improvement.
(ii) Summative Feedback
You will receive a customised feedback sheet, showing the mark breakdown in each of the key areas being assessed along with personalised feedback and suggestions for improvement. The comments explain how well you have met the learning objectives, and also give you feedback about the things you could improve in future assignments).
