A. COURSE SYLLABUS
1. General Information:
Course Number: INEL 4075
Course Title: FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
Credit-Hours: 3
2. Course Description:
Laws and fundamentals concepts that govern the behavior of electric and magnetic circuits; ideal models of resistors, voltage and current sources, capacitors and inductors; three-phase circuits and transformers. Not for electrical or computer engineering students.
3. Pre-requisites: MATE 3063 and FISI 3172
4. Textbook, Supplies and Other Resources:
R. Dorf and J.A. Svodoba, Introduction to Electric Circuits, 4rd Edition, John Wiley, 1999
5. 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.
6. Course Goals:
After completing the course the 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 containining 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.
7. Requirements:
Differential and integral calculus; ability to solve simultaneous linear algebraic equations.
8. Laboratory/Field Work (If applicable):
No laboratory or field work in this course.
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.

|
|
6. Evaluation/Grade Reporting: |
|
Three partial tests: 20% each, POP Quizzes: 15%, One final examination: 25% A grade of 40/100 in the final test will fail the course. A grade of 90/100 with 75% of the bonus points will pass the course. Students that can maintain an A with a 50/100 in the final examination will be excused of the final. |
|
7. Deadlines for Assignments (Optional): |
