Instructor: Office Location: e-mail: Course Description

This course details the fundamentals of electrical engineering components necessary for analyzing general electronic and electrical systems. Course begins with the introduction of electrical quantities, sources, circuit analysis rules and techniques, from DC to AC systems. First order time response of RC and RL circuits will be discussed. Some special topics will be briefly discussed and its application will be introduced. Terminal Course Objectives ( TCO) Following are the objective for this course. Individual faculty, based upon their experience and expertise may improvise and add to these topics in order to meet the local needs. The objectives to be met in this course are as follows: 1- Given an electrical circuit , student should be able to identify and label currents voltages with their respective quantities and references and evaluate source formations. 2- Given a circuit student should be able to perform source conversion, apply mesh and node analysis techniques in an effort to determine voltage and current values. 3- Apply series parallel techniques to calculate equivalent resistance in different formations. 4- Identify maximum power transfer condition from a source to a load. 5- Given a first order RC or RL being able to analyze the dynamic response of the circuit to a step voltage.

6- Convert sinusoidal voltage and currents into phasor notation forms and apply complex numbers in AC analysis to define amplitude and phase. 7- Calculate reactance, impedance of a circuit and define resonance. 8- Calculate average power , reactive power and apparent power of an AC load. 9- Evaluate three phase power systems, & connections and transformers.

Class Policies and Procedures:

Attendance Each student is required to attend every lecture and laboratory session in which he or she is enrolled. Instructor will take a note of the missing student which will influence his decision at a critical time when needed . Students are responsible for arriving before class begins, and remain in class for the duration of the course meeting. Students who are absent for two or more days should notify their Professor. Absences of more than five (5) consecutive days are in violation of the university attendance policy and will be dismissed. Make-Up Exam Since responsible behavior including daily class attendance is expected of all students, absence from a scheduled examination is considered to be an extremely serious matter. It is the university policy that no faculty member shall be required to schedule a make-up examination unless the student presents a statement from a licensed physician stating that he or she was physically unable to attend on the day of the exam. The faculty member may schedule a make-up for other equally serious reasons, provided that arrangements are made prior to the date of the exam. Grading: Homework Quizzes Midterm exam Comprehensive Final 10% 25% ( 6 , with announcements) 30% ( 5th week, with announcement) 35% (11th week)

There will be an estimated 6 quizzes. The lowest quiz grade will be dropped. Homework is assigned to meet the objectives and is usually due on the last day of the week (see schedule).You should present your work with a cover page carrying your name, number, date and the number of all assigned problems, even though you may not have attempted them . You must draw and label all the diagrams fresh. Lowest homework grade will be dropped. Late homework will not be accepted. Quizzes are 20 to 40 minutes long and usually consist of problems that require demonstrated work. Questions will be based on chapter problems.

There will be no make-up quiz. There will be one Midterm 1 hour and 15 minutes long and usually will consist of 4 to 5 problems. The questions may have several parts and usually will require demonstrated solutions. Although the midterm is comprehensive, questions will usually concentrate on the past quizzes , homework and class examples . The final is two hours long and has 6 to 8 problems. The questions may have several parts and usually require demonstrated solutions.

Course Grading Standards A final letter grade is to be awarded to each enrolled student in accordance with the 4.00 grading system shown below . Exam grades will be curved. Letter Grade A B C D F Academic Integrity Policy Ideas and learning form the core of the academic community. In all centers of education, learning is valued and honored. No learning community can thrive if its members counterfeit their achievement and seek to establish an unfair advantage over their fellow students. The academic standards at this university are based on a pursuit of knowledge and assume a high level of integrity in every one of its members. When this trust is violated, the academic community suffers injury and must act to ensure that its standards remain meaningful. The vehicle for this action is the Academic Integrity Policy outlined in the Student Handbook. The Academic Integrity Policy is designed to foster a fair and impartial set of standards upon which academic dishonesty will be judged. All students are required to read, understand, and adhere to these standards, which involves mandatory sanctions, even expulsion, for such dishonest acts as copying, plagiarism, lying, unauthorized collaboration, alteration of records, bribery, and misrepresentation for the purpose of enhancing ones academic standing. Percent of Total Points 90 100% 80 89% 70 79% 60 69% Below 60% Grade Points 4.00 3.00 2.00 1.00 0.00
