2. Course Objectives
The objectives of this course are to provide the fundamental knowledge and skills of Electrical Engineering to the
students. These objectives are to understand and be able to apply: circuit theory and circuit analysis for linear circuits
in DC and AC. Operational Amplifiers and basic applications. Impulse and step response and their relationships,
convolution integral and its application to circuit analysis, Mutual inductance and transformers. Laplace transforms
to analyze electric circuits. Transfer functions and frequency response of circuits. Poles and Zeros of transfer
function and their meaning in electric circuits. Two port networks impedance and admittance matrices, parallel and
series connection of two-port networks. Analog filter approximation and design including active filters, passive
filters, Butterworh, Chebyshev, and elliptic filters.
3. Course Outcomes
At the successful completion of this course, the student will have knowledge and understanding of electric circuits,
op-amps and applications, Laplace transform and implementation of circuits analysis, transfer function, frequency
response and two port networks.
4. Prerequisites
ENGR 2200U, MATH 2860
5. Course Organization
Three lectures hours (in two 1.5 hour lectures) and two tutorial hours per week for one semester.
6. Required Course Texts and Other Materials
Electric Circuits, 8th Edition, James W. Nilsson and Susan A. Riedel, Prentice Hall, 2007. The book is available in
bookstore and is accompanied by an OrRCad/PSpice manual. Note: The 7th Edition text is also useable, but it is
responsibility of the student to who chooses to use the 7th edition to identify the differences and obtain any necessary
additional material from the 8th Edition. A copy will be on 3 hour research in the Library.

8.1. Passing Grades:
Each student is required to have passing grade in the weighted average of his/her midterm and final exam
grades. A combined grade of less than 50% in these will result in a final grade of F for the course.
8.2. Deferred Midterm Exams:
Please note the following:
• Medical certificates MUST be sent DIRECTLY from the Doctor’s Office or Hospital within 5
days by mail or preferably by fax to the Academic Advisor of FEAS (fax number 905-721-3370
attn: Academic Advisor).
• A fee for the deferral must be paid by the student if the Medical certificate is valid and arrives on
time.
• Failure to comply with the above will result in an F for the mid-term and/or the final exam.
• The deferred exam will be either written or oral at the discretion of the instructor.
9. Midterm Test:
Midterm Exam:
March 1, 2010 from 5:00 PM -7:00PM
10. Homework
Regular homework will be assigned to the class in the form of practice problems, readings, etc. Solutions
will be also provided for problems assigned. The problems assigned will reflect the types of questions to
be seen on the midterm and final tests. Students are expected complete the homework.
11. Assignments
Assignments will be assigned weekly, except for the final week, for a total of 12 assignments. The best ten will count
towards the student’s final grade. The assignments will be due 1 week following the date they are assigned, by 5:00
pm. Assignments may be a combination of on-line assignments and paper assignments handed in as will be detailed
in each assignment. Students may also hand in additional rough notes to explain their partial or incorrect solution to
on-line questions, for which it will be entirely at the Instructor’s or TA’s discretion whether partial marks are
awarded. These must also be submitted by the deadline.
Late assignments will be accepted with a penalty of 20% of the full mark per day or partial day, including weekends.
Assignments received more than 4 days late will not be graded.
12. Computer Experience
PSPICE software will be used as the main software tool for the course. The software will be used to learn computer
based circuit analysis and can be used by the students to verify examples and problems.
Matlab will also be introduced as a means for solving and analysing electric circuits.
WebCT will be used to provide course material and to submit assignments. Additionally, the text book publisher’s
on-line assignment system, PH GradeAssist may be used where appropriate for assignments.

14. Academic Integrity and Conduct
UOIT is committed to the fundamental values of preserving academic integrity as defined in UOIT policies and
contained in the UOIT Calendar. Students should familiarize themselves with UOIT’s policies and statements in this
area. Acts of academic dishonesty, including plagiarism, cheating, aiding others in cheating, and examination
impersonation, will be dealt with severely as they threaten the integrity of the academic system and are not
acceptable.
UOIT and faculty members reserve the right to use electronic means to detect and help prevent plagiarism. Students
agree that by taking this course all assignments are subject to submission for textual similarity review to
Turnitin.com. Assignments submitted to Turnitin.com will be included as source documents in Turnitin.com's
restricted access database solely for the purpose of detecting plagiarism in such documents for five academic years.
The faculty member may require students to submit their assignments electronically to Turnitin.com or the faculty
member may submit questionable text on behalf of a student. The terms that apply to UOIT's use of the Turnitin.com
service are described on the Turnitin.com website. (To read the entire policy, please go to:
http://www.uoit.ca/EN/main2/11246/13525/14057/14152/turnitin_policy.html.)
15. Accessibility
To insure that disability-related concerns are properly addressed during this course, students with documented
disabilities and who may require assistance to participate in this class are encouraged to speak with their Instructor as
soon as possible. Students who suspect they may have a disability that may effect their participation in this course are
advised to go to the Centre for Students with Disabilities (room B297) as soon as possible.
