Course Outcomes Students who successfully complete this course are expected to meet the following course outcomes: • • • • • • By defining parameters and the corresponding models for the power system components, students can expand their knowledge in the area of electromagnetic field theory, one field of electrical engineering. (Student Outcome # a). By solving homework assignments, that implies an optimal selection of a power system’s components and detailed analysis of the system steady-state and fault state operation, students can develop their ability to understand and apply the technical requirements and constraints. (Student Outcome # c). By performing high technical and environmental requirement tasks with multiple constraints, students can develop the ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems. (Student Outcome # e). By satisfying the detailed requirements specified in the project guide, students can improve their ability to technically communicate effectively. (Student Outcome # g). By considering the economic and social issues along with the technical issues related to power system operation and protection, students can understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global economic and environmental context. (Student Outcome # h). Regarding each subject, students can obtain the most up-to-date issues that require needed for engineering practice in the power and energy area. (Student Outcome # k).

Grading Policy • • • • Homework: 30% Quizzes: 15% Two Exams: 30% Final: 25% Tentative Exam Dates: February 27th and April 3rd During the semester, grades will be posted on Blackboard in a secure manner, i.e., so that only you will have access to your grades. The final grades will be officially reported on PeopleSoft, not on the Blackboard. The instructor is not allowed to give out grades over the phone or by email. Homework All homework assignments must be submitted through Blackboard by the due date (Central Time Zone). Instructions for submitting homework are posted in Blackboard under “Course Information”. Those who copy their homework from a fellow student obviously defeat the purpose of doing homework. So if identical text, calculations, derivations, figures, plots, or tables are found, it will be considered a violation of the academic honesty policy and strictly penalized. Late homework will not be accepted. Technology failures will not be accepted as an excuse for late homework submissions – do not wait until the last minute to submit your homework. Quizzes All quizzes will be given online with advance notice. Each quiz requires no calculator; it is a set of questions designed to cover key concepts in preparation for the following exams. Missed quizzes will be given a score of zero except in the case of illness or by arrangement in advance with the instructor. Makeup quizzes will not be accepted. Exams There will be two 90 minute midterm examinations on the designated date by the instructor. Exams are closed book, closed notes, unless otherwise announced. Students may bring one letter-size (8.5” by 11”) equation sheet to each exam; students are allowed two sheets for the final exam. Both sides of the paper can be filled with equations but anything other than equations (e.g.: figures, graphs, or solutions) is not allowed. Students may also bring a regular The information contained in this class syllabus is subject to change without notice. Students are expected to be aware of any additional course policies presented by the instructor during the course. engineering calculator but the use of any internet-connected device such as a smartphone, a tablet or a PC is not allowed during the test. No makeup examinations will be given. Students who cannot take the examination on the scheduled date due to his/her significant emergency must contact the instructor as soon as possible, preferably before the examination. Documentary evidence must be submitted in all such emergency cases. All students (online, face-to-face, and off-campus) enrolled in this course must come to campus for exams. Online students who reside outside the Houston metro area or any student who will be on travel due to work at the time of a scheduled quiz/exam, must contact the instructor as soon as possible for permission to take the quiz/exam at another proctored location. Once permission is granted, students must contact the Office of Distance Education to arrange to take the quiz/exam off-site. Please go to https://www.uh.edu/online/students/proctoringstudents.php for more information and to complete the “Proctoring Request Form” (see link under #6 on this website).
