III: To Add a New Course Syllabus and assessment information is required (paste syllabus into
section V or attach). Course should have internal coherence and clear focus.
Common Course Numbering Review (Department Chair Must Initial):
YES NO
Does an equivalent course exist elsewhere in the MUS? Check all relevant disciplines if
X
course is interdisciplinary. (http://www.mus.edu/Qtools/CCN/ccn_default.asp)
If YES: Do the proposed abbreviation, number, title and credits align with existing course(s)? Please indicate
equivalent course/campus. 
If NO: Course may be unique, but is subject to common course review. Be sure to include learning outcomes
on syllabus or paste below. The course number may be changed at the system level.
Exact entry to appear in the next catalog (Specify course abbreviation, level, number, title, credits,
repeatability (if applicable), frequency of offering, prerequisites, and a brief description.) 
U 105 DC Circuit Analysis 4 cr. Offered autumn and spring. Prereq. M 090 Introductory Algebra.
An introduction to direct current (DC) and analysis of series, parallel, and series-parallel circuits. Topics
include electrical quantities, units of measurement, measurement instruments, resistors, current, voltage,
power, energy, network theorems, equivalent circuits, magnetism, and electromagnetism. Laboratory
experiments include circuit analysis; the proper use of measurement equipment and techniques; and
troubleshooting.
U 106 AC Circuit Analysis 3 cr. Offered autumn and spring. Prereq. EET 105 DC Circuit Analysis.
Analysis of alternating current (AC) circuits and the behavior of capacitors, inductors, reactance, impedance,
transformers, and signal filters. Laboratory experiments include circuit analysis, the use of proper
measurement equipment, and troubleshooting.
Justification: How does the course fit with the existing curriculum? Why is it needed?
EET 105 DC Circuits and EET 106 AC Circuit Analysis will be degree requirements for Electronics Technology
and Energy Technology students. The EET 105/106 sequence will be delivered over two semesters as a
replacement to the EET 111/112 lecture/lab course block currently delivered during a single semester.
Students have found the material challenging to fully comprehend during a single semester of study. Our
motive is to improve student success and retention from semester one to semester two. The request resequences content and does not involve deletion or addition of material.
Are there curricular adjustments to accommodate teaching this course?
No
Complete for UG courses (UG courses should be assigned a 400 number).
Describe graduate increment - see procedure 301.30
http://umt.edu/facultysenate/committees/grad_council/procedures/default.aspx
Complete for Co-convented courses
Companion course number, title, and description (include syllabus of companion course in section V)
See procedure 301.20 http://umt.edu/facultysenate/committees/grad_council/procedures/default.aspx.
New fees and changes to existing fees are only approved once each biennium by the
YES
NO
Board of Regents. The coordination of fee submission is administered by Administration
and Finance. Fees may be requested only for courses meeting specific conditions
according to Policy 940.12.1 http://mus.edu/borpol/bor900/940-12-1.pdf . Please
indicate whether this course will be considered for a fee.
If YES, what is the proposed amount of the fee?
$15
Justification:
Course contains a lab where consumable electronic components (i.e. resistors, inductors, capacitors,
transformers, power sources, tools) will be required for students.
