Instrumentation and Electrical Measurement

This course introduces students some of the metrological terminologies used in experimental methods, concept of metrology and its application. The course will also provide understanding the concept of standardization as the management system of standards and quality. The measurement technique for electrical quantity and analysis of the result according to ISO Guide will be introduced as well. It will examine transducers in order to gain an awareness of what they can do. Transducer operations, characteristic and functions will be discussed.

SKEU1002

Electrical Technology


The students will be introduced to the concept and theory of basic electrical engineering. This subject highlights the fundamental of electrical engineering to enable the student to understand and apply simple electrical circuits and network in their working environment. It covers DC and AC systems (single and three phase) and analyze simple network using basic laws; Ohm’s Law, Kirchhoff’s Law, current and voltage divider, nodal and loop analysis. Students will also be exposed on simple Magnetic Circuits, Transformers and introduction to Electrical Machines.

System Modeling and Analysis


This course introduces the students to the fundamental ideas and definitions of control systems, open loop and close loop control systems, transfer functions and transient and steady state responses. Students will be taught how to obtain mathematical models of actual physical systems such as electrical, mechanical and electro-mechanical systems in the transfer function form. Methods of system representation such as block diagram representation and signal flow graphs will be examined. The students will also be exposed to techniques of analysing control systems performance and stability in time and frequency domains.

Control System Design


The course begins with the root locus designs using root locus procedures and MATLAB. Then, PID controller will be designed using root locus approach. The PID controller and leadlag compensator will be used to improve the transient and steady state performances in time domain using root locus approach. In frequency domain approach, the Bode plot method will be utilised. The lead, lag and lead-lag compensators are used in improving the performance of the control system using the frequency domain approach. Finally, applications of control engineering in various fields will be studied.

Real-time Control System Design

This course covers the necessary fundamental aspects for real-time implementation of control system. Brief review on the design of control system with some emphasis on the system stability and performance is covered. Digital implementation aspect is also addressed which includes interfacing technology, and practical aspect of implementation of discretized control law. The scheduling theory of tasks is also included which are Rate Monotonic (RM), Deadline Monotonic (RM) and Earliest Deadline Monotic (EDF) methods. The fieldbus technology with the growing interest used as industrial network is covered with emphasis on Controller Area Network (CAN). Case studies of different design and implementation techniques will be used to enhance students understanding of the course. MATLAB –Truetime and Labview, RTW, and other possible realtime tools will be used as the main computational tool to illustrate the real-time concept covered.
