Learning Outcomes


Refer to Part B Course Guide


Details of Learning Activities

Learning and simulated work activities to demonstrate an understanding of the following:
Classroom learning activities involve the understanding of following topics:
Types of signals, DSP Block diagram,

Applications and Advantages of DSP over Analog Signal processing

Sampling Theorem, Oversampling, Undersampling

A/D Conversion, and D/A Conversion
Z Transforms and inverse Z Transforms

This course is accredited by Engineers Australia.

Engineering employment requires the capacity to work effectively in teams, to communicate effectively in both oral and writing and to learn effectively. In order to prepare students for employment as graduates they will be provided a quality assured teaching and learning environment which is conductive to the development of adult learning. Adult learning is characterised by the students accepting responsibility for their own learning and actively participating in the learning process as individuals and as contributors to the teams. Adult learning is the hallmark of a professional. The specific responsibilities as adult learners in respect of this subject are:
. to be aware of and to observe the regulations related to plagiarism
. to submit (on time) all work for assessment as required
. to complete all pre-reading and preparatory work prior to the class for which it will be used
. to effectively use the academic staff resources provided (consultation time, tutors, e- mail etc)
. to participate as an effective and honest member of a learning team
. to contribute effectively to a group of peers in a climate of mutual respect and to question each other and the academic staff when uncertain

Overview of Assessment

This is a progressive assessment, the students are required to undertake summative assessments as follows:
A. Matlab Assignments
B. DSP Simulation Project
C. Written assignment/test
The students will be required to demonstrate their Matlab assignments and the DSP project as a part of assessment.


Assessment Tasks

This competency is assessed progressively. The assessment consisting of the following tasks:

1. Assignments (40%)
The students will have to complete a minimum of four DSP assignments as specified by the teacher and demonstrate their work. The reports for the assignments should be submitted by each student individually.


2. Written Exam : 60%
The students will have one written exam to demonstrate their theoretical knowledge based on Digital Signal Processing as detailed in the course.


This course is graded using the following course grades-

CHD- Competent with High Distinction
CDI- Competent with Distinction
CC- Competent with Credit
CAG- Competency Achieved - Graded
NYC- Not Yet Competent
DNS- Did Not Submit for Assessment

Other Information

The minimum number of student directed hours for this course are 16 hours in addition to 64 scheduled teaching hours. Student directed hours must involve completing activities such as reading online resources, working on assignments, practising matlab exercises, preparation for exam and student-teacher course related consultation.

They are limited opportunities for students to carry out industry work experience at overseas companies. In such cases, students are graded based on industry supervisor’s assessment of student performance (30%), written technical and cultural reports (40%) , oral presentation of reports (20%), and journal or e-portfolio (10%).
