Office Hours: 2:3 pm Tuesday and Thursday. Also, feel
free to stop by my office any time.
Text: Engineering Circuit Analysis; by W. H. Hayt Jr.,
and J. E. Kemmerly (McGraw-Hill, 1993).
Reference: PSPICE for Windows, by R.W. Goody, (Prentice-Hall, 1995).
Shaum's Interactive Outline of Electric Circuits, by J.A. Edminister,
(McGraw-Hill, 1994).
In-Class Examinations: Weekly examinations will be given
every Thursday. Each weekly examination will consist of two problems based
on the test problems indicated in the schedule found in this syllabus.
These weekly examinations will be at least twenty five minutes in duration.
In addition, unannounced examinations will be given. Each unannounced examination
will consist of one problem based on the exercises in the text indicated
in the schedule. Each unannounced examination will be at least ten minutes
in duration. All examinations given for this course will be closed
book and closed notes (except calculators and standard mathematics
tables). All weekly and unannounced examinations will carry equal weight
in the determination of the final grade. Unexcused absence
from any examination will result in a grade of zero for that examination.
No make-up examinations will be given. A maximum of two excused absences
(supported by written documentation) is permitted.
Final Examination: The final examination will be given
Wednesday, June 11, at 8:00 a.m. in Room 190 of Stocker Center. The final
examination will consist of four problems and will be closed book and closed
notes.
Computer Assignments: PC software solutions (using PSPICE)
of selected problems are required. You are responsible for learning how
to use the PSPICE software (hopefully you got some instruction on EE200).
A brief PSPICE tutorial is available in Appendix A5 of your textbook. Additional
information is available in the document "A Help Guide for the E.C.E.
Computer Lab - Stocker 305" by Mr. Thomas A. Seigel (available for
$1.50 in the ECE Store, room 344 of Stocker Center). The computer solutions
should include no less than source code listings, an XREF (schematic to
source code) and PSPICE generated output. Each computer solution
is due in class one week after its associated examination is conducted.
No late submissions will be accepted.
Final Grade: The final numerical grade will be based on the following weights: Weekly and Unannounced examinations - 70%; computer assignments - 10%, and final examination - 20%. Letter grades will be awarded based on the per-unit final numerical grade as follows:
A = 95 - 100, A- = 90 - 94
B+ = 87 - 89, B = 84 - 86, B- = 80 - 83
C+ = 77 - 79, C = 74 - 76, C- = 70 - 73
D+ = 67 - 69, D = 64 - 66, D- = 60 - 63
Below 60% = F
