Course Description
This course contains some of the underpinning knowledge of a program, which designed for a person to be able to undertake design, select, install, commission, maintain and carry out repairs on advanced electronic equipment and systems.
The Knowledge and skills addressed in this course include the communication engineering application for radio transmitters & receivers, digital communications principles, RF communication test and measurement instruments, work performance project.
For the purpose of carrying out the complex testing & evaluation procedures of a communication system, this course also includes the use of mathematics skills for applying the theory and concepts of Stochastic process, probability, statistics, random processes, graphical data summaries, and optimisation techniques.

Learning Outcomes
Details of Learning Activities
Communication Engineering Applications:
· Classroom tutorial activities to consolidate the theory and application of various types of modulation systems, transmission line, microwave propagation and fibre optic communication systems.
· Practical activities to develop skill in construction the working model of various types oscillators, receiver and transmission line systems. Conduct complex testing process, diagnose & rectify fault and verify the performance as specification.
· Work performance simulation projects involving the design and construction of selected systems, development of testing procedure to verify the performance specification, diagnosis of faults in the systems and repair the fault. Specifications will be provided with work simulation (team or individual basis) or may be negotiated to suit a workplace based application

Overview of Assessment
This is a progressive assessment, the underpinning knowledge will be assessed on the completion of each course, but the competency itself will not be signed off until related competency is completed and the student is deemed competent.
The students are required to undertake summative assessments as follows:
• Progressive Written assessments
• Written Assignments
• Scheduled Practical Exercises
• Work Simulation Projects
Assessment Tasks
The assessment is conducted in both theoretical and practical aspects of the course according to the criteria set in the National Training Package.
The students are required to undertake summative assessments that bring together skills and knowledge as follows:
* Theoretical Written assessment.
* Work Simulation Projects
* A Pass in schedule practical exercises
