(009826)

Area /Catalog # : AERO / 2012

General Information, Semester 1, 2008

Course Coordinator: Dr Bruce Wedding

Office: F2-50 Phone: 8302-3052 (VoiceMail)

Prerequisites

AERO 1012 Aviation Physics 2N is a prerequisite for this course. Students who have not passed both 1

st

year general

physics courses are advised to un-enroll from this course and consult their program director for advice on an

appropriate academic pathway through their program.

Aim

To introduce the student to basic electronics, microprocessors and control systems in order to advance an understanding

of their application to aviation ie. 'glass cockpit' systems

Objectives

On completion of this course, the student should be able to:

* demonstrate a sound knowledge of microprocessor basics, control theory, physical transducers and their

application in aviation.

* undertake experiments in basic electronics and transducers followed by a series of computer based control

strategies.

Syllabus

Microcomputer organisation; execution of instructions; microprocessor architecture; logic; introduction to

microprocessor applications; transducers; control theory; aircraft control examples; analog & electronic aircraft

instrumentation examples; high level language micro controllers; communication between systems.

Reference books

There will be no single text book for this course which completely covers all the material however the principle

reference book will be

Assessment

Continuous assessment 25%

Practical 25%

Examination (1 x 2 hr.) 50%

The continuous assessment will consist of quizzes and problem papers delivered as

per the schedule below. The quizzes (approx 20 minutes) will evaluate the students

conceptual knowledge as well as small problem solving skills. The problem papers

will each consist of 3 or 4 numerically based problems.

The relative weighting of quizzes and problem papers will be:

Examinations

The examination will be of 2 hours duration and will be held in the official examination period at the end of the

semester at a date to be advised. The exam covers all work from the lectures (as per the syllabus), the practical sessions

and tutorials during the semester.

A deferred examination may be granted if a student is unable to sit for an examination because of illness. An

application for a deferred examination must be accompanied by a doctors certificate and must be lodged with your

division office within seven days of the examination.

Plagiarism

Please note that the University has a policy on plagiarism. Plagiarism is the copying of work or data of other people

without giving them due acknowledgment. This includes Word-for-Word copying of sentences or whole paragraphs

from books, articles, etc, without clearly indicating where you got the material from. It also includes using very close

paraphrasing of sentences or paragraphs without due acknowledgment.

Deliberate plagiarism is regarded as a serious form of academic misconduct and offenders (both the person copying and

the person knowingly supplying the information) are liable to be penalized by a fail for the particular assignment or the

entire course. Repeated plagiarism may result in your expulsion from the University.

For a more complete definition of plagiarism refer to the section on Academic Misconduct in the University Calendar

or for definitions of plagiarism, educative process, penalties and of the procedures which will be followed in a case of

suspected plagiarism see the University Web page www.unisa.edu.au/adminfo/policies/manual/index.htm Section 5 Academic Misconduct, 5.1.2 Plagiarism.erterter
