studentconduct/Student%20Code%20of%20Conduct.htm#Article%202--Definitions
2. Students are responsible for reading assignments before each class. WileyPlus assignments will be
given approximately once per week using BlackBoard (BB). These assignments are due Mondays by
3:00 PM. [NO CREDIT IS GIVEN FOR LATE WileyPlus ASSIGMENTS]
3. Written Homework Assignments and Projects are to be turned in at the beginning of the class or
uploaded to BlackBoard before the beginning of class on the due date. Any late homework will get no
credit will be given.
4. Homework will be considered when making final decisions on grades. Notify me in advance when
possible if you will miss an exam or homework due date. THERE IS NO EXTRA CREDIT GIVEN
Course Objectives:
1. Understand the basic principles of electrical circuits including some of the software tools of Electrical
Engineers (LTSpice and MATLAB).
2. Develop the skills to study engineering material from course lectures, textbooks, and example
problems. Learn how to study and understand engineering material.
3. Learn how to compose and present solutions to engineering problems in a concise yet understandable
fashion including the use of diagrams, notation, equations, and units.
4. Develop problem solving skills, not just an ability to put numbers into equations.
