 Special Requirement

 As for any Lab in USP, our Engineering Labs & Workshops have various OHS
requirements such as proper closed footwear, neat unobtrusive clothing, and
vigilance is a an utmost due to some HIGH VOLTAGE LIVE WIRES being present
in the labs. You will be required to sign a Lab Safety Rules during the first lab
when you will be briefed by the Occupational, Health & Safety (OHS) officer
in the School, Mr. Radesh Lal, the Chief Technician or the senior technicians.

will be asked to leave the lab immediately or may be permanently banned
from the lab by the Technician in charge.
LABORATORY WORK and HANDOUTS

 Software labs will be conducted on either Matlab/Simulink (with

SimPowerSystems toolbox) or PSIM.
 Hardware labs will be carried out using training modules from LabVolt.
Handouts will be provided for all Labs and uploaded onto the EE211 Moodle
page.

 AT RISK STUDENTS

 Extra Help (Remedial) Sessions are compulsory for students who have
demonstrated prior weak performance. Extra Help Sessions must be taken in
addition to regular tutorials, and a minimum attendance of 60% in these
sessions is required to pass the course. Students who qualify for Extra Help
Sessions will be notified by the Course Coordinator prior to the 3rd week of
the semester. The purpose of these sessions is to provide students who have
struggled in the past (“C“ grade or less in prerequisite courses) by providing
additional contact with teaching staff to help them succeed in the course.
The type of extra help offered in these sessions is determined by the Course
Coordinator. Qualifying students will be identified by the Faculty. Based on
student marks at mid-semester, the Course Coordinator may require
struggling students to attend Extra Help Sessions during the second half of the
semester. These sessions can include extra tutorials, workshops, peer
mentoring, etc
