Purpose of the course:

The course has a multiple orientation shaping the sophistication on these topics  and helping the overall maturity.

 a) Point out the underlining physical foundations of Electrical and Electronic Circuits.

 b) Give experience in solving problems in Electrical and Electronic Circuits using specific mathematical methods.

 c) Point out current and potential applications based on physical principles of  Electrical and Electronic Circuits.

 d) Introduce data sheets of the various electronic devices.

 e) Introduce application notes for the various electronic devices

 f) Emphasize the sequence: Underlining Physical Principle - Physical properties - Mathematical Model of a Real Situation Case - Mathematical Method - Real problem - Specification - Assumptions - Solution - Simulation - Implementation - Measurements - Optimization - Final product.

 

Grading:

The final grade (F.G.) is determined from the following:
 a) Eight examinations (E1, ... E8) will be given during the semester , each one counting 5% of the final grade. (40 points)
 b) Laboratory Experiments (LE) counting 20% of the final grade. (20 points)

 c) Homework problems (HW) will be assigned for each topic, counting 5% of the final grade. (5 points)
 d) A final examination (FE) will be given, counting 30% of the final grade. (30 points)

 e) Attendance and Participation (AP), counting 5% of the final grade. (5 points)

 f) Extra credit report (RP) on an application related with either Electrical Engineering or Electrical Engineering Technology or Electrical Technology, counting 5% of the final grade. (5 points)

 

The total number of points will result in the following letter grade:

 F.G. = E1 + ... + E8 + LE + HW + FE + AP + RP

 

 96-100 -> A

 91-95 -> A-

 87-90 -> B+

 84-86 -> B

 81-83 -> B-

 77-80 -> C+

 74-76 -> C

 71-73 -> C-

 67-70 -> D+

 64-66 -> D

 61-63 -> D-

 00-60 -> F

 

 

The final grade (F.G.) for the Laboratory is determined from the following:

  1. 12 Laboratory Report (LR1, LR2,... LR12) 2will be submitted during the semester,  counting 60% of the final grade (5% each).

  2. Engineering Journal (EJ), counting 20% of the final grade.

  3. A cumulative final Laboratory Examination (LE) will be given, counting 20% of the final grade.

  4. Attendance, team participation (AP), counting 20% of the final grade.

 

 The total number of points will result in the following letter grade:

  F.G. = LR1 + LR12 + EJ + LE + AP

 

 96-100 -> A

 91-95 -> A

 87-90 -> B+

 84-86 -> B

 81-83 -> B-

 76-80 -> C+

 71-75 -> C

 61-70 -> D

 00-60 -> F

 

Homework:

A typical homework will have multi-parts, multiple-choice, short answer questions, analysis, synthesis, study, etc. No late homework will be accepted.

 

Examination:

A typical examination will have various parts for a predetermined period time of 50 minutes. No make up examination will be given.

 
Note to students with disabilities:

It is the policy to not discriminate against qualified students with documented disabilities.  If you have a disability-related need for modifications in this course, contact your instructor. 

 

Policy Statement on Academic Misconduct: 

All students are expected to demonstrate integrity in the completion of their coursework. Academic integrity means doing one's own work and giving proper credit to the work and ideas of others. It is the responsibility of each student to become familiar with what constitutes academic dishonesty and plagiarism and to avoid all forms of cheating and plagiarism. Students who engage in plagiarism and other forms of academic misconduct will face academic and possibly disciplinary consequences. Academic sanctions can range from a reduced grade for the assignment to a failing grade for the course. From a disciplinary standpoint, an Academic Misconduct Report may be filed and a Faculty Hearing Board may impose sanctions such as probation, suspension or expulsion.

For further information on academic misconduct and its consequences, please consult:

 
Policy on the use of Electronic Devices:

The operation of all electronic communication devices is prohibited in the classroom and the Laboratory.
Policy on the access of Internet Sites:

The access of any web site other than the one or ones specifically approved by the instructor during the classroom or laboratory periods is prohibited.

 
Policy on dressing in the Classroom:

Proper dressing is expected by all. Covering the heads with hats, hoods, etc. is prohibited.

 
Policy on food and drinks

in the Classroom and Laboratory:

Food and drinks in the laboratory are prohibited.
