Course Topics:

4.
A good understanding of algebra. Students should have, or be taking concurrently, a
course that covers trigonometry fundamentals. Math 81 or its equivalent is a
prerequisite.
DC and AC circuit analysis through series/parallel circuits. EET 101 or its
equivalent is a prerequisite for this course.
Some rudimentary computer literacy is helpful but not necessary. Most students will
have experience with PSPICE or equivalent software for circuit solutions in EET
101.
Some EET lab experience is helpful. The lab course that accompanies this course is
EET 118. Students taking EET 118 must have previous lab experience.
Course orientation, review of basic DC and AC topics covered previously
Capacitors, definitions, transient analysis, series/parallel inductors, stored energy,
capacitors in DC circuits
Magnetic circuit overview
Inductors, definitions, transient analysis, series/parallel inductors, stored energy,
inductors & capacitors in DC circuits

8. Series and parallel resonance
9. Polyphase systems
10. Fourier analysis
11. Non-sinusoidal circuits
Calculator Use:
Extensive calculator use will be required in the analysis of complex AC circuits. Students
will need calculators capable of solving simultaneous equations containing complex numbers.
Many math classes require students to have calculators with graphical capability, such as the
TI-85 or TI-86 calculators. These are suitable for EET 114 and EET 118. TI-83 is not
suitable.
Computer Use:
The course text includes PSPICE and Electronic Workbench solutions for most topics in this
course. This course, along with the accompanying EET 118 lab, requires the use of
computers to analyze the AC and DC circuits covered in the course.

Quizzes:
There will be approximately eleven short (5-10 minute) quizzes throughout the semester.
Generally, quizzes will be administered at the end of a Friday class, but there may be
unannounced quizzes as well. Quizzes cannot be made up after they have been administered.
Your two lowest quiz scores will be automatically dropped.
Exams:
There will be two mid-semester examinations in addition to a comprehensive final exam. The
final exam will be scheduled by the University Registrar, and tentative dates for the midsemester exams are included in the course calendar.
No makeup exams. Failure to show up for an exam will result in a grade of zero unless the
instructor is presented with a legitimate excuse, documented in writing, prior to the
examination. In the event of illness, a doctor’s excuse is required. If extraordinary
circumstances require that an exam must be missed, one of your quiz scores that would
normally be dropped will be used to substitute for the exam score. You must have prior
approval from the course instructor to make this substitution.
Homework
and Computer
Projects:
•
Homework problems will be assigned at regular intervals throughout the semester
(see course calendar for assigned problems and due dates). Solving these problems
is essential to the understanding of the course material, and its importance cannot be
overemphasized. The assigned homework problems are listed on the tentative course
calendar, and it is the responsibility of the student to keep up with the course material
by regularly solving these problems. A subset of the assigned practice problems
will be collected for grade on the dates indicated on the course calendar.

Class
Attendance:
Spring 2006
The computer is required as a tool for solving circuit analysis problems. The course
text offers instruction in PSPICE and Electronics Workbench. There will be several
homework projects involving PSPICE and/or Electronics Workbench.
Homework and Projects that are turned in late will be subject to penalty of 10% per
day up to 50% (max. penalty is 50%).
Attendance is necessary in order to maintain continuity in the course. Students who attend all
classes will gain the maximum benefit from the course. Students who miss classes are
responsible for the material covered during their absence, and are encouraged to contact the
instructor before or after the missed class. Tardiness is disruptive to others in the class and is
not acceptable.
The course calendar included below is only tentative. There may be deviations from the
Tentative
Course Outline: schedule, but the material listed should be covered in essentially the same order as indicated
in the outline.
Academic
Integrity:
Academic integrity is the pursuit of scholarly activity in an open, honest and responsible manner. Academic integrity
is a basic guiding principle for all academic activity at the Pennsylvania State University, and all members of the
University community are expected to act in accordance with this principle. Consistent with this expectation, the
University’s Code of Conduct states that all students should act with personal integrity, respect other student’s
dignity, rights and property, and help create and maintain an environment in which all can succeed through the fruits
of their efforts.
Academic integrity includes a commitment not to engage in or tolerate acts of falsification, misrepresentation, or
deception. Such acts of dishonesty violate the fundamental ethical principles of the University community and
compromise the worth of work completed by others.
Consequences of academic dishonesty: The instructor may assign an academic sanction ranging from failure on the
assignment ot failure in the course. The instructor reports each academic sanction to the Office of Judicial Affairs,
which keeps a record. Students can appeal academic sanctions to the Committee on Academic Integrity through the
Office of Academic Affairs. In more serious cases of academic dishonesty, the Office of Judicial Affairs may apply
disciplinary sanctions in addition to the academic sanctions. These may range from automatic failure for the course
to probation, suspension or expulsion from the University. An “XF” grade is a formal University disciplinary
sanction that indicates on the student’s transcript that failure in a course was due to a serious act of academic
dishonesty. (Policies and Rules for Students, Section 49-20)
