Course Description:
This course will cover the topics in electric network analysis and design. Techniques
of electric circuit theory are studied and applied in network analysis and design,
operational amplifiers and related circuits, including the applications of PSpice and
Matlab software packages. Analysis of circuits with dependent sources, basic
waveforms, RL, RC and RLC circuit transients and sinusoidal response, network

WITHDRAWAL POLICY:
Last day to drop with a tuition refund: End of 2nd Week of Semester
Last day to drop without a notation of W on the transcript: End of 4th Week
Final day to drop with W (ET Students): End of 8th Week
Depending on the situation of withdrawal, one of the following grades will be assigned:
WP: Withdrawal with Passing
WF: Withdrawal with Failing
WN: Withdrawal Never Attended
All drop/add activity during the first four weeks should be done by the student through
Pipeline. Withdrawal after the fourth week requires the instructor’s permission and must
be submitted on a Drop/Add form to the Registrar’s Office. Withdrawal after the ‘final
drop’ date will only be permitted under exceptional circumstances and requires the
permission of the Chair of the ET Division. A failing grade is not an acceptable reason for
withdrawal after the ‘final drop’ date.
POLICY ON CHEATING:
Cheating is defined by the University as “intentionally using or attempting to use, or
intentionally providing or attempting to provide, unauthorized materials, information, or
assistance in any academic exercise.” This includes any group efforts on assignments
or exams unless specifically approved by the professor for that assignment/exam.
Evidence of fabrication or plagiarism, as defined by the University in its brochure
Academic Integrity, will also result in downgrading for the course. Students who cheat on
any assignment or during any examination will be assigned a failing grade for the course
and may be subject to additional penalties.

Code of Ethics for Engineers:
WSU library has a tutorial that talks about transmitting ideas, plagiarism, copyright, and
citing sources. At the end, there is a quiz. You are encouraged to visit this site then take
the quiz at the end.
