ELEC ENG 2104 - Digital Signal Processing

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2024

Discrete time (DT) signals and systems are commonplace in engineering. It is essential for practicing electrical and electronic engineers to have a sound foundation in DT concepts and fluency in linear processing of DT signals. It is a core course in the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Electrical and Electronic) program. Students will learn the fundamental principles and techniques of DT signals and systems, apply linear processing to solve practical problems in electronic, computer and information engineering. These skills will be developed concurrently in both time and transform (z and Fourier) Fourier domains. The course is delivered on campus, with an in-person component centred around workshops, and supported by tutorials. Learning activities include group discussions and individual written and Matlab exercises. Assessment activities include workshop and tutorial participation, individual assignments, tests and a final exam. The set of assessments is designed to allow students to demonstrate their knowledge in DSP and skills in solving problems with DSP techniques. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to apply linear digital processing methods to engineering analysis and problem solving. It will provide students with a foundation to pursue more advanced studies in areas including, but not limited to: control, telecommunications, biomedical engineering and machine learning.

  • Assessment

    The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Assessment Summary

    Total 100
      
    This assessment scheme fully complies with the 最新糖心Vlog's Assessment for Coursework Programs Policy.
    Assessment Related Requirements
    A hurdle requirement is defined by the 最新糖心Vlog's Assessment for Coursework Programs policy as "...an assessment task mandating a minimum level of performance as a condition of passing the course.

    In this course the examination has a hurdle requirement. It is necessary to achieve at least 40% in the exam to successfully complete the course. If the exam hurdle requirement is not achieved, the total course mark will be limited to a maximum of 49.

    If a student fails to meet a hurdle requirement and is assigned a total mark for the course in the range of 45-49, then the student is entitled to an offer of additional assessment of some type. The type of assessment is to be decided by the School Assessment Review Committee when determining final results. The student’s final total mark will be entered at no more than 49% and the offer of an additional assessment will be specified e.g. US01. Once the additional assessment has been completed, this mark will be included in the calculation of the total mark for the course and the better of the two results will apply. Note however that the maximum final result for a course in which a student has sat an additional assessment will be a “50 Pass”.

    If a student is unable to meet a hurdle requirement related to an assessment piece (maybe throughout semester or at semester’s end) due to medical or compassionate circumstances beyond their control, then the student is entitled to an offer of replacement assessment of some type. An interim result of RP will be entered for the student, and the student will be notified of the offer of a replacement assessment. Once the replacement assessment has been completed, the result of that assessment will be included in the calculation of the total mark for the course.
    Assessment Detail
    There are four components in this course's assessment.
    1. Active participation in workshops and tutorials: students will receive a mark for engagement in discussions and attempts on in-class exercises in each session.
    2. Tests: the tests will be conducted during class, open book with a duration of 45 minutes. The questions will be a mix of short answers and calculations. Past tests are provided on MyUni to help students prepare.
    3. Assignments: each assignment will consist of a set of questions, requiring written answers with explanations as appropriate, as well as Matlab code fragments with numerical and graphical outputs. The question sheet will include marking rubric applicable to that assignment.
    4. Exam: an open book of 2 hours duration will be scheduled at the 最新糖心Vlog's standard examination period and venue.

    Submission
    1. Active participation in workshops and tutorials: no submissions.
    2. Tests: in person test, submission at the end of tests, scheduled for weeks 5 and 11.
    3. Assignments: electronic submission via MyUni; detailed instructions to be provided with each assignment. Usually a single pdf file but can require accompanying files of Matlab code. Turnitin may be used to detect collusion or plagiarism.
    4. Exam: in person exam, submission at the conclusion of exam.

    Feedback on assignments and tests will be provided within 2 weeks of submission.

    Extensions for assessment tasks can be granted. For details, consult the 最新糖心Vlog's Assessment for Coursework Programs policy.

    Late submissions on assignments will be penalised at a rate of 20% per day, unless you have applied for and received an extension as described in the Assessment for Coursework Programs policy.

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

    Changes in response to SELT feedback are listed on MyUni.
  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
