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.

1. General Information:
Instructor: Title: Office: Phone: Office Hours: E-mail / URL: Course URL:	Nayda G. Santiago Santiago Instructor T-219 832-4040 Ext. 3178 Mon., Wed., Fri. 12:30PM - 1:30PM Nayda.Santiago@ece.uprm.edu / http://www.ece.uprm.edu/~nayda http://www.ece.uprm.edu/~nayda/inel4075.html
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.

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 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.
