2. Course Description:

Course Number: INEL 4103

Course Title: Electrical Systems Analysis III

Course Textbook: Class Notes

3. Purpose:

The purpose of this course is to give electrical engineering students an introduction to power systems analysis.  The course includes fundamentals of power transformers and transmission lines.

4. Course Goals:

After completing the course, the student should have the tools and practice to analyze balanced single phase and tri-phase power systems. The course includes fundamentals of power systems operation and design.

5. Requirements:

All students are expected to:

Think. Individually do all assigned readings and homework. Arrive on time. Attend all lectures.

Approve all exams.

6. Laboratory/Computer Usage:

At this moment there is no laboratory for this course.

Students are required to program their calculators to solve homework problems.

7. Instructional Strategy:

The course will consist of lectures, discussions and problem solving.  Homework will be assigned at each meeting period and it is due the next meeting period.  Homework will be discussed in class.  Students are expected to work, work, and work.

8. Evaluation/Grade Reporting:

There will be three partial exams (23% each), homework (6%) and one final exam (25%).  No one will be eliminated.

The exams dates are to be announced.

Grading scale: 100-90 A, 89-80 B, 79-70 C, 69-60 D, 59 or less F.

Academic fraud will result in SEVERE PUNISHEMENT! 

9. Deadlines for Assignments:

Homework will be assigned at each meeting period and it is due the next meeting period.  Homework will be discussed in class and you are expected to fully participate in homework discussion as frequently as possible.

10. Student Assistance:

The electric power system home page http://www.ece.uprm.edu/~power/ provides supporting material to this course.  We will have a review section before each exam.

11. Attendance and Behavior:

Attendance is mandatory and you will behave.

The only electronic equipment you are allowed to bring to class is your calculator, a hearing aid, pacemaker or other health aid you may need.  Cellular phones and pagers are not to be used in class.

12. Instructor Responsibilities:

The instructor will grade all exams within two weeks of offering the exam, will keep regular office hours and attempt to answer all questions.
