2. Course Description: |
|
|
Course Number: INEL 4075 Course Title: Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering-- See item
number 2 in Course Syllabus Section for Course Description. |
|
3. Purpose: |
|
|
The purpose of the course is to introduce engineering students other than electrical engineering students to the basic concepts needed to analyze electric circuits. |
|
4. Course Goals: |
|
|
After completing the course, each student should be able
to analyze a DC or an AC electric circuit using the techniques learned in
class. In addition, the student should be able to solve circuit problem
containing components such as operational amplifiers and ideal transformers.
The student should be able to perform sinusoidal steady-state power
calculations and to analyze a three-phase balanced circuit. |
|
5. Requirements: |
|
|
All students are expected to: Complete all lessons. Do all assigned readings and related homework. Come to class all the time and on time. Pass all tests and quizzes to receive credit for the course. |
|
6. Laboratory/Field Work (If applicable), General Rules: |
|
|
No laboratory project of fieldwork
is required. Radios, tape recorders, and other audio or video equipment are not permitted in the classroom at any time. Cellular Phones and pagers should be in quiet mode in the classroom and OFF during exams. Smoking is not permitted in any area other than those areas designated for smoking.
|
|
7. Instructional Strategy: |
|
|
The course will consist mainly of
lectures. Students will be assigned problems as homework to be individually solved
for their own benefit. Students should have a problem notebook to solve all
assigned problems. Not all problems will be collected for grading, however,
failure to complete homework problems will adversely affect students skills
to master the material. Quizzes will test the student ability to solve the
problems. There will also be homeworks to collect
in class. These will count towards the final grade. |
|
8. Evaluation/Grade Reporting: |
|
|
Evaluation will be based on three
midterm exams, a set of quizzes, and a final exam weighted as indicated
below: Midterm
1: 20% Midterm
2: 20% Midterm
3: 20% Quizzes
& Hwks 20% Final Exam: 20% -------------- Total: 100% The final exam is optional. If a student decides not
to take the final exam, the final evaluation will be based on the weights
indicated below: Midterm
1: 25% Midterm
2: 25% Midterm
3: 25% Quizzes
& Hwks 25% -------------- Total: 100% Quizzes and homeworks
will count towards one grade. The lowest grade in a quiz will be dropped and
others will count towards the grade. We will not have makeup quizzes. There
will be a quiz evaluating the material taught from the date of midterm 3 to
the end of class. Final grades will be assigned according to the
following scale:
0 - 59 F
60 - 69 D
70 - 79 C
80 - 89 B
90 - 100 A
|
|
9. Deadlines: |
|
|
Important dates: Exam 1: Exam 2: Exam 3: Final Exam: To be
arranged by registrar’s office All exams will be held during the class hour. |
|
10. Attendance and Behavior: |
|
|
· Attendance will be daily monitored in class. · Students are not allowed to leave the classroom during class except in exceptional circumstances. · It is the student responsibility to ensure signing-up everyday the attendance list to be circulated by the professor at the beginning of each class. · Approximately, every 15 lectures an attendance report will be generated. · A student with more than 3 (three) missed lectures in a reporting period will be considered not to be regularly attending class. · Make-up for exams will be furnished only upon “valid excuse”. Your professor reserves the right to determine what is a “valid excuse”. ·
There will be no make-up for
quizzes. · No baseball caps allowed during quizzes or exams. · No “special” projects will be given to anyone to improve grades or for any other reason. · Students are not allowed improper behavior. ·
Honesty is
expected from all students. If a student is caught cheating during an exam,
quiz or homework, this clearly demonstrates that he or she is not capable of
producing individual intellectual property material. Therefore the student
will face the following sanctions: ·
The grade
will be zero in the piece of work where cheating was found. ·
The department will be notified of the student name
and evidence of cheating so the department determines if disciplinary action
should be taken to the “Junta de Disciplina”.
If there is a pending case at the “Junta de Disciplina”,
the student will be awarded an incomplete with F until the “Junta de Disciplina” decides the case. |

12. Instructor Responsibilities (If applicable): |
|
|
Your instructor
will provide handouts for material discussed in class not covered in the
textbook. |
