This course considers Advanced Analog Circuit Analysis and Design techniques. It builds upon basic knowledge of Analog Electronics taught in the pre-requisite course, taking the student through to a reasonable level of Analysis and Design proficiency. Circuit intuition and a systems approach to design are emphasised. Topics to be covered include: Operational Amplifier and Data-Converter Circuits, Building Blocks of Integrated-Circuit Amplifiers, Differential and Multistage Amplifiers, Frequency Response, Feedback, Output Stages and Power Amplifiers, Filters and Tuned Amplifiers, Signal Generators and Waveform-Shaping Circuits.

This course provides an understanding of the components used in process control, thefundamental principles of process dynamics, and classical feedback control. The course isstructured as a first course in control systems. It will take the student through topics suchas: transducers (sensors), actuators, processes and plants, transfer functions, systemspecifications, stability of feedback control systems, and the design of controllers andcompensators using root locus, Bode plot and Nyquist plot techniques.

This course builds on the foundation provided by the course EE222 Digital Electronics and provides the student with the knowledge of the internal organisation of microprocessors and computer buses. The principles of operation of digital computers and the interfacing techniques needed to use microprocessors in engineering applications involving data acquisition are covered.

The purpose of Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) is to determine the positive and negative impacts that development projects may have on the environment. The potential impacts range from physical and biological to social and economic. EIAs oblige decision makers to consider environmental impacts in any decision about whether to proceed with a project. The purpose of this course is to provide students with the skills necessary to understand the EIA process, develop a plan for conducting an EIA, evaluate EIA reports and understand their application in the context of the South Pacific.

This course covers the main data gathering methods used in environmental analysis, both
in the field and in the laboratory. These include biological, chemical, geological and physical parameters and the study of waters, soils, the biota, etc. Methods of gathering social data are also discussed. The presentation of data in graphs and maps, the use of geographical information systems and remote sensing are also included as well as data analysis and modelling. Students will also practise these techniques. The basic approach will be the introduction of a topic by the instructor or the students; students will then be expected to perform the necessary measurements or data gathering and analysis. Students' projects will include an in-depth study using different techniques and present a seminar on their findings, at the end of the semester

This course builds on the work of LL261. The successful student will, by the end of the course, have mastered the main currents of grammatical discourse and analysis and gained a thorough appreciation of the Fijian language, studied both in its own contexts and in the wider context of Austronesian languages.
