Electrical Engineering: Principles and Applications, Hambley, 6th, 2014
9780133413984 (with Mastering Engineering code)
11:00 – 12:15 PM, Tues. and Thur.
Prerequisite:
PHYS 2015 and MATH 2235 and *ENGR 2713
Course Description:
The study of the elements of electrical engineering: AC and DC circuits, mesh and node formulation
of network equations, steady-state response to sinusoids, energy, power and power factor.
Course Learning Outcomes:
1. Analyze electric circuits for DC, transient, and AC voltage and current responses.
2. Evaluate circuit’s analysis techniques and choose an appropriate technique
for a particular circuit.
3. Calculate power in DC and AC circuits (using the concepts of complex power).
4. Analyze Y-Y connected balanced three phase circuits.
5. Use a circuit’s simulation program (MATLAB) to predict circuit behavior.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Refer to “attendance” in the university catalog. Regular class attendance
is highly recommended although not required. Attendance for scheduled exams is
required. There will be NO MAKE-UP EXAMS and no exams will be given early.

As the instructor I reserve the right to award letter grades higher than the percentage
earned would guarantee.
The last date to drop the course and receive an automatic “W” is April 6.
After that date the grade will be either “W” or “F” depending on whether you are
passing or failing. You must initiate the withdrawal procedure. I cannot.
Ceasing to attend class without official withdrawal guarantees an “F” as the course
grade. The session ends with a comprehensive final on May 3 from 10:15 to 12:15 PM.
EXAMS
Regular exams will be one hour long. Numerical constants and some formulas will be provided. The
final exam will be comprehensive and will be two hours long.
HOMEWORK AND QUIZZES
Approximately 11 homework assignments will be given. These assignments will be due by the end of
the class session specified. No homework will be accepted after this time. The highest 10 homework
assignments will be used to compute the homework grade which allows the student to miss one homework
assignment without penalty.
Students are encouraged to work together and discuss homework problems outside of class.
However, the homework that is turned in should be your own work and not copied off another’s paper.

University Policy:
Cameron University discourages lecture and/or laboratory attendance by any person not enrolled in the
course. Included are student’s friends, student’s spouses, and student’s children. Tobacco product use is not
allowed in any building on Cameron University campus.
Accommodations of Disabilities:
It is the policy of Cameron University to accommodate students with disabilities, pursuant to federal and state
law. Students with disabilities who need classroom accommodations must make their requests by contacting
