WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO. IM THE FIRST ONE TO POST ON HERE LOL. bUT ANYWAYS WHAT DOES ANYONE THINK ABOUT SYTEMS?

[michaelc8]

systems is awesome, i ended up with 69 outa 70 for sacs and project

[theaussiepilot]

the exams goin to be interesting considering our class didnt do any theory all year!

what did you guys make this year?

[michaelc8]

yeh we did absolutely nothing! we hadto teach ourselves the ntie b4 our sacs. i made a rubbish sorter hoping to get into top designs

[fireworks]

Anyone completing Systems Engineering this year?

My class was pretty lazy too...
I got A on exam quite easily despite using wrong formula for one....they wrote it wrong on data sheet!!!!! didnt tell me till afterwards then i forgot to change it)




So... what did everyone do for theyre projects??
I designed a RC car thingy with 2 independent wheels(so can swivel on spot), automatic headlights/torch, and bracket/trigger switch for future camera/auxiliary.

I used a pre-made RC board with signals (for motors) RightFwd, RightBck, LeftFwd, LeftBck. I designed a circuit to use the four signals to control 5 things; 4 for wheels and the camera.(used logic so RightFwd and RightBck simultaneously triggered camera)

Of course because i never did my work (at least not on my project) i didnt get time for anything but original RC board/gears/body done.....and prototypes for autotorch & signal splitter thingy


If anyone wants to make a Light operated switch that turns ON in dark(for car headlights etc) i can give you the link to it on my site.....

What raw score did you get?

Am completing 3/4 this year and for my project I am making a Digital Tachometer. I used the photographic method of transposing the circuit and am also creating a signal generator to simulate a running engine. The siggen will have a 9VDC motor running, connected to a fan that will break a light beam. It will be detected by my opto-electronic subsystem (photodiode) and will be calibrated to simulate an 8 cylinder motor.

I am hoping to achieve a high 40's in this subject, but am unable to determine
how well I am going as I am that far ahead of every other student, its crazy.

I have two results so far:
SAC 1: 100/100
SAC 2: 97/100

whilst most other students struggled to get mid 40's...

Those marks sounnd fairly much like mine

Unit 3 SACs: A
Unit 4 SACs: C
Exam: A
its scaled down a heap so my study score was 34

If i did it again (at a better school ) i could get way higher score not worth it tho

I'm quite unsure of the validity of that statement..
How is it possible to achieve a raw score in the range of 40-41 with getting
a C on your unit 4 sac. That's your project isn't it? Which equates to 50%
of your total enter score. An A on the exam is only about 30% I'm pretty sure.
Unless everyone in this subject are completely inert students?

Would be keen to hear back..

well thats what my vce cert says...i would have to totally agree with the "completely inert students" though

it was 34...not in 40s.....

So you must have meant your raw score..
I got confused... my bad

Oh oops, yeah, i worded it wrong, sorry

Ahh well.
On a good note, I was told by my teacher today that If I get the
signal generator to work effectively I would be looking at a mark
in the top 40+. Such a good mood recently from that single remark.

[fireworks]

I finally got my SAC marks back: VCAA MARK OF 98/100

Sac 1: 30/30
Sac 2: 29/30
Sac 3: 29/30

With a 39/40 for my model. (50% of study score)

Hoping for an A+ on the exam and a raw score of 40+.

Wish me luck.
