Course Description
This course develops skills required for appropriate modelling and simulation of electronic circuits and systems. Numerical methods, device modelling, advanced simulation of analogue circuit, and simulation of digital systems are at the core of this course. The course puts a focus on research and will be of project based nature.
Major topic areas are:
- Numerical methods
- Parametric, Temperature and Performance analyses
- Statistical analyses: Monte Carlo, Sensitivity, Worst Case
- Analogue and Digital Simulation

Program Learning Outcomes
This course contributes to the program learning outcomes for the following program(s):
PLO 2. Demonstrate an advanced and integrated understanding of specialist bodies of knowledge within the engineering discipline
PLO 4. Apply advanced knowledge of established engineering methods in the analysis of complex problems in the engineering discipline
PLO 5. Utilise advanced mathematics, software, tools and techniques, in the conduct of research into the design and analysis of complex engineering systems
PLO 6. Use a systems engineering approach to synthesize and apply procedures for design, prototyping and testing to develop creative, sustainable and integrated solutions to complex engineering problems.
PLO 10. Critically analyse, evaluate, and transform information, while exercising professional expert judgement in a dynamic environment in the absence of complete data, in an engineering context.
PLO 11. Collaborate and contribute as an effective team member or leader in diverse specialist and multi-disciplinary teams, with commitment to First Nations peoples and/or globally inclusive perspectives and participation in an engineering context.
On completion of this course, you should be able to:
CLO1 Apply theoretical numerical methods to advanced circuit and system simulation design.
CLO2 Apply advanced behaviour and integrity design considerations in circuit and system simulation.
CLO3 Simulate an electronic circuit component using established engineering methods for efficiency, resilience and effectiveness.
CLO4 Deconstruct simulation behaviour and performance results using an electrical engineering theoretical framework.
CLO5 Collaborate in a semi-autonomous engineering project team at an advanced professional engineering level."
Overview of Learning Activities
You are expected to actively participate in pre-recorded lectures, and attend practical laboratories /simulation experiments, assignments and multiple research project works.
Lectures in this course tend to deliver basic information and examples of different nature for different applications. Labs will deliver a guided ground for students to review and implement examples. Laboratory will be conducted throughout the semester.
There will be one design assignment and one design project covering different aspects of the course. Main topics will be identified by the lecturer. Marking criteria will be discussed in the lectures.
Overview of Learning Resources
RMIT will provide you with resources and tools for learning in this course through our online systems.
Overview of Assessment
Assessment tasks
Assessment Task 1: Lab assessment, 40%, CLO1, CLO2, CLO3 and CLO4
Assessment Task 2: Assignment, 30%, CLO1, CLO2, CLO3 and CLO4
