4. Textbook, Supplies and Other Resources:
Textbook:

J. David Irwin; John Wiley, Basic Engineering-Circuits Analysis, 8th Edition, Addison Wesley.

5. Purpose:

This course is designed to introduce 3rd year students to electric circuit analysis techniques, including the Kirchhoff’s Laws.Basic circuit elements such as, transformer, operational amplifiers, resistors, inductors, capacitors, dependent and independent sources are introduced. Single phase circuits power analysis and first-order linear circuit analysis techniques are also presented.

6. 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 operational amplifiers. The student should be able to perform sinusoidal steady-state power calculations and to analyze first order RC, RL, and RLC circuits.

7. Requirements:

Differential and integral calculus; determinants.

8. Laboratory/Field Work (If applicable):

A homework assignment using a computer.

9. Department/Campus Policies:

9a. Class attendance: Class attendance is compulsory. The University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez Campus, reserves the right to deal at any time with individual cases of non?attendance. Professors are expected to record the absences of their students. Frequent absences affect the final grade, and may even result in total loss of credits. Arranging to make up work missed because of legitimate class absence is the responsibility of the student. (Bulletin of Information Undergraduate Studies, pp. 39 1995-96)

9b. Absence from examinations: Students are required to attend all examinations. If a student is absent from an examination for a justifiable reason acceptable to the professor, he or she will be given a special examination. Otherwise, he or she will receive a grade of zero of "F" in the examination missed. (Bulletin of Information Undergraduate Studies, pp. 39, 1995-96)

9c. Final examinations: Final written examinations must be given in all courses unless, in the judgment of the Dean, the nature of the subject makes it impracticable. Final examinations scheduled by arrangements must be given during the examination period prescribed in the Academic Calendar, including Saturdays. (See Bulletin of Information Undergraduate Studies, pp. 39, 1995-96).

9d. Partial withdrawals: A student may withdraw from individual courses at any time during the term, but before the deadline established in the University Academic Calendar. (See Bulletin of Information Undergraduate Studies, pp. 37, 1995-96).

9e. Complete withdrawals: A student may completely withdraw from the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez Campus, at any time up to the last day of classes. (See Bulletin of Information Undergraduate Studies, pp. 37, 1995-96).

9f. Disabilities: All the reasonable accommodations according to the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) Law will be coordinated with the Dean of Students and in accordance with the particular needs of the student.

9g. Ethics: Any academic fraud is subject to the disciplinary sanctions described in article 14 and 16 of the revised General Student Bylaws of the University of Puerto Rico contained in Certification 018-1997-98 of the Board of Trustees.The professor will follow the norms established in articles 1-5 of the Bylaws.

10. Campus Resources (If applicable):

Computer center facilities with programs necessary in the elaboration of homework are located in S-105.

  • Every student officially enrolled in INEL 3105 will have an account in the instructional laboratories. The software package PSPICE is available in these machines. Web access may be limited at times depending on computer demand. Occasionally there will be classes held in these labs (signs posted on the doors). The director of these centers is Ms. Carmen Pagán. Hours for the labs are 8:30am to 5:00pm weekdays at the beginning of the semester. Extended hours will be arranged later in the semester. Printing paper is responsibility of the student. There will be paper available for purchase at 1¢ per page. Please keep proper behavior in the labs.
  • The instructional laboratories are

·Instructional Computer Aided Design Laboratory (INCADEL) – Stefani 105G

·Computer Aided Design Lab PC Cluster Stefani 105D

·Every student officially enrolled in INEL 3105 will have an email address in the ECE machine. Information for students will be disseminated through email.

2. Course Description: 

Course Number:        INEL 3105

Course Title:            ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ANALYSIS I

3. Purpose:

This course is designed to introduce 3rd year students to electric circuit analysis techniques, including the Kirchhoff’s Laws.Basic circuit elements such as, transformer, operational amplifiers, resistors, inductors, capacitors, dependent and independent sources are introduced. Single-phase circuits power analysis and first-order linear circuit analysis techniques are also presented.

The student should be able to perform sinusoidal steady-state power calculations and to analyze first order RC, RL, and RLC circuits.

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 or 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.
  • Every student officially enrolled in INEL 3105 will have an account in the instructional laboratories.

·Every student officially enrolled in INEL 3105 will have an email address in the ECE machines.

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. Problems will not 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 be homeworks on the use of PSPICE. 

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 & Project:               20%

Final Exam:                         20%

                                         --------------

Total:                                       100%

0          -           59        F

60        -           69        D

70        -           79        C

80        -           89        B

90        -           100      A
