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.

'Feedback’ at a university level can be understood as any part of the learning process which is designed to guide your progress through your degree programme. We aim to help you reflect on your own learning and help you feel more clear about your progress through clarifying what is expected of you in both formative and summative assessments. A comprehensive guide to feedback and to forms of feedback is available in the Guide to Assessment Standards, Marking and Feedback.
The School of PET aims to provide some form of feedback on all formative and summative assessments that are carried out during the degree programme. In general, feedback on any written work/assignments undertaken will be sufficient so as to indicate the nature of the changes needed in order to improve the work. The School will endeavour to return all exam feedback within the timescale set out in the University's Policy on Assessment Feedback Turnaround Time. The School would normally expect to adhere to the times given, however, it is possible that exceptional circumstances may delay feedback. The School will endeavour to keep such delays to a minimum. Please note that any marks released are subject to ratification by the Board of Examiners and Senate. Meetings at the start/end of each term provide you with an opportunity to discuss and reflect with your supervisor on your overall performance to date.
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.
