2. Course Objective:
Design, analysis, simulation, construction and evaluation of electric circuits. Basic concepts of
electrical engineering such as terminal relationships; applications of Kirchhoff’s laws to simple
resistive circuits; solution of resistor networks using mesh and node analysis and Thevenin and
Norton’s theorems; transient analysis of first and second-order circuits; DC and AC steady state
analysis; frequency response and transfer functions; ideal op-amp circuits and diode and
transistor circuits. PREREQUISITE: PHYS262. PRE- or COREQUISITE: MATH282. Three
hours lecture, two hour laboratory each week.
3. Course Structure:
The course will consist of class lectures, homework assignments, in-class quizzes, exams, and
weekly labs. Quizzes will be given randomly in the beginning of a class without advance notice.
The lowest score of the quizzes will be dropped. Students have to bring the calculator every
class. Students are highly recommended to review the materials right after each lecture.
The lecture period will be followed by a laboratory period where the students will implement and
test their designs of the experiment. Each experiment may require the student to create the
design, simulate the design, construct the circuit and measure the performances of the circuit.

NOTES:
1. Late Policy: No make-up for in-class quizzes if missed. If a student has any documented
excused lateness or absence, please talk to the instructor within 24 hours for special arrangement.
Make-up exams will be allowed ONLY for documented excused absences and with prior
permission from the instructor. Late homework and prelab will NOT be accepted!
2. Lab/Materials:
• Each student is required to purchase a kit from the bookstore that contains a Breadboard
and a Jumper Wire Kit. The kit is also used in ENEE245.
• Each student is responsible for the proper care of equipment/materials issued. Any
damage to, or loss of, equipment/materials should be reported to the instructor/lab staff
immediately. At the end of a lab, you MUST clean up your work area and return all
equipment/materials to its original location. All the equipment must be shut down when
you finish with it.
3. Support Services: Any student who may need an accommodation due to a disability, please
make an appointment to see me during my office hour. A letter from Disability Support Services
authorizing your accommodations will be needed. Any student who may need assistance in the
event of an emergency evacuation must identify to the Disability Support Services Office;
guidelines for emergency evacuations for individuals with disabilities are found at
http://www.montgomerycollege.edu/dss/evacprocedures.htm
3. Academic Honesty: All homework, quizzes, labs, and examinations are to be the results of a
student's own efforts. Any cheating, copying, or academic dishonesty could result in a failing
grade for the assignment and the course. You may discuss the homework problems and labs
with classmates to the point of exchanging general ideas, but you may not copy from one
another. You may also not give any paper or electronic copies of any parts of your homework or
lab to other students to look at.
In addition to course requirements and objectives that are in this syllabus, Montgomery College
has information on its web site (see link below) to assist you in having a successful experience
both inside and outside of the classroom. It is important that you read and understand this
information. The link below provides information and other resources to areas that pertain to
Student Success such as: Student Behavior (Student Code of Conduct); Student e-mail, College
Tobacco Free Policy; Course Withdrawal and Refund Information; Resources for Military
Service Members, Veterans and Dependents; how to access information on delayed openings and
closings; how to register for Montgomery College’s Alert System and how closings and delays
can impact your classes.
