Please observe office hours since I shall be very busy teaching three courses, two of them with laboratories and I shall be trying to do some research at the same time. F. Course Description and Objectives This first course in AC and DC circuits covers resistor networks with DC power supplies. It is a study of fundamentals principles of DC circuits using resistors. Emphasis on Ohm's Law, Kirchoff’s law, series and parallel circuits. Magnetism and Electromagnetism shall be covered. Alternating current and voltage and its applications will be introduced. We live in a world that is dependent on electrical power and electronic devices. Electrical power provides artificial light and heat and the energy for doing many kinds of work. Electricity is the basis for radio, television, computers and the entire area of science known as electronics. Electronics is a relatively new science. Even though we can trace electricity back to Franklin, Bell, and Edison, electronics goes back only a few decades to discoveries and developments by such men as Marconi and DeForest. Electronics didn't really become a full-fledged science until radio came 2 into being. World War II brought about the need for rapid technological developments, and longrange radio, radio navigation, radar, and sonar became realities. In the years since World War II, developments in electronics have continued rapidly to robotics and satellite communications. The science of electronics has expanded to such a degree that now it is a combination of specialized technologies such as communications, instrumentation, and controls. At the completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Discuss the history of electricity and electronics and their areas of application. Recognize and use electrical components, measuring instruments, units and symbols. 2. Define basic electrical quantities; voltage current, resistance and power to identify various voltage sources and components required for a basic electrical circuit. 3. Explain Ohm's Law relationship between voltage current resistance and power. Utilize Ohm's Law equations to solve for unknown electrical quantities in a given circuit. 4. Compare/contrast and analyze series and parallel circuit connections and measure or solve for unknown circuit quantities. 5. Utilize schematic diagrams and electrical tools and circuit components to safely and correctly design, test and assemble electrical circuits. 6. Explain the theory and application of voltage sources in series and in parallel, Kirchoff's Voltage Law, Kirchoff's Current Law, voltage divider, current divider and bridge circuits. 7. Explain the principles of magnetic fields, electromagnetism, electromagnetic induction and electrical applications of magnetic devices. 8. Explain basic principles of operation of analog multimeters, digital multimeters and oscilloscopes. 9. Compare and contrast direct current and alternating current and voltage and explain the fundamentals of ac power generation and transmission. 10. Appreciate the importance of working safely and follow all laboratory safety rules. G.

Grading Scale Since class average usually is above 70, there may not be any curving in this course. If not curved, your grade will be assigned to your overall course average as given below: A:90-100; B:80-89.9; C:70-79.9; D:60-69.9; F:Below 60. I. Exams Exams shall be closed notebook and textbook. Equations given at the end of the chapters will be copied and given to you. Exam blue books shall be supplied for the exams. You may be seated in the exams. Preferably, seating charts shall be available on the door of the class room before the exam. If not, I may reseat you before exam starts. If I find it necessary, I may reseat some of you during the exam. Including the textbook and calculators, no exchange of material is allowed. If you need any material, please let me know. Your cell phone must be turned OFF and be inside your bag. You are not allowed to use any resources available (like calculators, internet, etc.) on your phone during exams. About 10 min long, drop quizzes will be given at the beginning of some class and laboratory periods. If you are late to a class or lab, you may miss the quiz. If you come late, no extra time will be given to finish your quiz. If you miss a quiz, your grade for the quiz will be zero. Quizzes will count 5% extra towards your final overall percentile average. J. Make-up Exams No make-up exam shall be given unless it is absolutely necessary. You must contact me and get approval to take the make-up exam before the regular exam starts. Only one make-up exam shall be given for all missed exams on the last day of the final exams. Test shall cover all topics included in all previous exams and may be more difficult than regular exams. 5 K. Home Work Homework is for you to do it at home. You must not solve homework problems together with anyone else since end result may be considered to be cheating. Due hour for the homework sets is on the due date, before class starts. Ten points out of one hundred points shall be deducted for each business day of late submission. If you are late to a class and there is a homework due, your homework will be considered to be one day late. No homework sets shall be accepted and graded after they are returned back to the class or after five working days of the due date, whichever comes first. Homework due on the weeks of exams must be turned in on time. If the school is closed on the homework due date, homework is due on the next business day. Due hour for late homework is on or before 4:30 P.M. Exam re-do homework sets and some other homework sets will be graded based on correct answers only: You will receive no credit if answer is wrong and full credit if answer is correct. A cover page should be attached to each homework set and laboratory report. A copy of cover page is given at the end of syllabus. If you enter any information wrong or leave out some information on the cover page, penalty will be 5 points. If I am left behind in teaching and I did not change the due date of some problems on the set, you are required to submit your homework on time. Please read the material that I did not cover and submit your homework on time. Up to 20% may be deducted if units are not used or incorrectly used. Up to two points out of ten may be deducted if homework sets are not neatly and clearly presented. Submit your homework sets directly to me, just before the class or toss it under my door any time. Homework sets shall be returned to you in about one week's time. Laboratory reports shall be required for all of the experiments. If you miss a laboratory, you can not write the report, therefore, your laboratory report grade will be zero. If you cannot attend a laboratory due to an approved excuse (unless it is a real emergency, I need to approve your excuse before laboratory starts), you need to conduct the lab with the help of a fellow student, under my supervision, within one week of your return to school. Evaluation and Review Questions must be turned in before laboratory starts to receive 10% of the whole report grade. Use the cover sheet prepared for laboratory reports and add "Review Questions" phrase after entering experiment number. Questions requiring results of measurements must be turned in with the laboratory report. If an experiment has “For Further Investigation”, “Application Assignment”, and/or “Checkup”, and you do them, for each, you will receive extra 10%. Extra credit section(s) must be turned in with the laboratory report. Unless it is extended, laboratory reports are due at the end of the class period. You must study the laboratory material before you come to class. There may be a quiz before laboratory starts. L. Attendance Attendance is very important in my courses since I tend to ask questions in exams on the topics I stress on. I shall take attendance from time to time (about once a week). Let me know if you have any serious reasons not to attend a class. Percentage of classes you miss will be calculated using "number of classes missed divided by the number of attendances taken". Two late-comings to a class, early departures from a class or leaving the classroom during the class and coming back will count as one class-day missed. If you have any medical condition that will require you to go 6 to bathroom often, I would like to know it before class starts. Otherwise you will be considered absent. If you sleep in class you will be considered absent. You are late to a class if you comein to the classroom after class start time and you see me inside. Your bag being on the desk or on the chair or just being outside of the classroom does not make you present for the class. If I give you a break between classes, the break is only 10 minutes long. If you are not back in 10 minutes you will be considered absent. If you are late to a class, you must see me during break or after class so that I can convert your “absence” to “being late”. M. Policy on W-Grades Due to very strong correlation between the Midterm grade and the course grade, I am recommending you to drop the course if you end up receiving an “F” Midterm Grade and you do not have very good reasons for failing through the end of midterm exam. “W” grade can only be received if you drop the course before the end of Withdrawal Period. N. Policy on Incomplete Grades No incomplete grade will be passed unless there is an emergency on your part which will not let you complete the course. In order to receive an incomplete grade you must be passing the course at the time of the emergency and you must have completed major portion of the course. O. Accommodating Students with Special Needs All learners have different learning styles. If you have a particular handicapping condition that I should know about, please let me know so that appropriate accommodations may be made. P. Cheating Any cheating shall be penalized severely. Severeness of penalty shall depend on how much evidence is collected for cheating. I want to make it sure that only those who take the time and do their work will receive the grade. Any student who CHEATs will receive, as a minimum, zero in the exam or in the homework. Depending on the severity of cheating, student may be reported to campus academic authorities for proper penalty. If cheating in any homework set or in any laboratory report is repeated, your homework privileges may be suspended. In this situation weight of the homework sets shall be moved to the exams. Laboratory reports and any home assignments are considered to be homework. To avoid any possible cheating problems, you must not do homework or home assignments, or write laboratory reports with any one else. Not limited to, but, any of the following constitute cheating: 1. Giving or receiving any written information about solution of any home assignment, 2. Transcribing solution of an assignment, 3. Using solutions of home assignments which were not done by the user (like last year's homework solutions or laboratory reports done by someone else), 4. Giving or receiving any information or materials during exams, including printed 7 materials, pencils, calculators, erasers, etc., 5. Talking in the exams, even if it is not related with the exam, 6. Looking over someone else's exam paper during exams, 7. Using any materials that are not allowed in an exam, 8. Any other acts considered to be cheating, plagiarism or falsification by the University regulations. Some of these acts are given in the university catalog. It is your responsibility to know and understand these acts. To deter and prevent cheating during exams, open or hidden video and/or tape recorders may be used. You will not be told whether or not the exam is being recorded and/or taped. Q. Cell Phone Use Cell phone use is not allowed in class rooms. You must turn your cell phone OFF unless you are expecting an emergency call. You need to get my permission to leave your phone ON (vibrate only). One point shall be deducted from your overall percentile average for each disturbing call you receive or each time I see you playing with your phone. R. UMES Zero Tolerance Policy The University of Maryland Eastern Shore maintains and strictly enforces a policy of zero tolerance with regards to fighting, the use, possession and/or distribution of illicit drugs, and the possession of dangerous weapons, firearms, and explosives. If a student is found guilty of using, possessing, selling or distributing illegal drugs; initiating a fight, or using any object (weapon) with the intent to cause harm, the minimum sanction will be suspension from the University for one (1) academic semester, and where appropriate will be referred to local policing authorities for criminal prosecution. Suspension from the University for a violation of the zero tolerance policy will result in the cancellation of the accused student’s housing contract, lost of tuition and fees, grades attempted, and denial of a housing contract in the future. If a student is found guilty of drug distribution or the possession of dangerous weapons, firearms, or explosives, the maximum sanction may result in expulsion from the University. 8 STANDARDS FOR HOMEWORK, PROJECTS AND TESTS Effective communication is an important part of engineering. A correct technical result that is poorly communicated is often no better than one which is incorrect. To emphasize this fact, consideration of effective communication will be given in grading homework, projects and tests. Anything, which seriously detracts from ease of understanding of your work, can result in a loss of points. Illegibility will be considered as serious fault for which points will be deducted. Homework and Project Standards Your written homework and projects will be judged according to a recommended standard. Each homework problem will be treated as a formal engineering assignment. Give table or/and figure numbers when data is taken from them. Interpolate approximately on tables unless exact interpolation is required by the problem statement. Write, as clearly and as explicitly as possible, results and solutions shall not be guessed. Use only one 8.5 x 11 in size paper, and put your initials on each page. A title page should be added to each assignment. Title page should contain: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) (h) course number and name homework set number problems submitted due date submission date days late your full name and grade Staple your assignment at the left hand upper corner and DO NOT FOLD IT. You may use files for the projects. A sample title page is enclosed you may copy and use it. The solution for each problem should contain: (a) (b) (c) (d) Problem statement Sketch and/or diagram Analysis and results (if lengthy, summarize results in body of report, with details in appendix) Discussion and conclusions when applicable. For table and figure notations follow the same form given for the figures and tables in your textbook (i.e. table number and title at top for tables, figure number and title at bottom for figures). Test Standards No specific form standard can be given for tests since they may vary greatly and the student is under time pressure. For this reason it may be necessary, also, to overlook minor errors in spelling, punctuation, or grammar. It is to your own benefit, however, to communicate your knowledge to the grader as well as you can. With this in mind, you should practice effective communication techniques during tests. Occasionally points may be deducted for unnecessarily poor communication. To avoid this, you should follow the following rules: 9 (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) (h) (i) (j) (k) (l) Small size blue books shall be supplied. Put problem solutions in numerical order. Put problem numbers on every other or three pages (depending on the number of problems in the test) of your blue book. Start with the first one and go on in increasing order. Now you are ready to start answering any problem you like. Write the answers in the reserved section of your blue book for the problem you have started. Bring the supplemental materials (tables, charts, etc.) distributed in the class. No charts, tables, equations etc. shall be supplied during exams. Always use more detailed charts and tables. Most of the time distributed charts and tables are more detailed. Write your name and course name on the blue book. If there are any loose sheets, put your names on each of them. Write clearly and legibly, no guessing is allowed when grading the exams State important assumptions clearly Flag important results by underling or boxing If the solutions should be excluded from grading, cross it out clearly and completely. Give only one solution. Otherwise, first solution shall be accepted as the answer to the question. Use the closest entry on the tables, do not interpolate unless it asked to interpolate, Be as accurate as possible when reading charts. 10 LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS AND ELECTRONICS DESIGN PROJECT Introduction Laboratory activities are specifically designed to facilitate the student in gaining insight on the operation of various types of electronic circuits. Laboratory experiments will be assigned in accordance with the material covered during the lecture. Although most laboratory experiments will be done on a group basis (two or three students will work together), each student is expected to put forth his/her fair share of the effort required to complete the experiment. Otherwise, you may be removed from the group and may be forced to work alone. Ideally students should work in groups of two; however, at NO TIME WILL GROUPS EXCEED THREE. All laboratory experiments should be completed as required in each unit. In addition, one (1) electronic assembly project must be completed. A 25-watt soldering iron and tool kit is required for project assembly, which is to be completed as a home/dormitory assignment. Students who consistently fail to attend laboratory (or leave early) will be penalized and may fail the course. No extra time shall be given to complete the laboratory experiments outside of class time unless it is absolutely necessary. Because of safety reasons, students shall not be allowed to work alone in the laboratory. If an experiment has “For Further Investigation”, “Application Assignment”, and/or “Checkup”, and you do them, for each, you will receive extra 10% . You MUST do and turn in “Evaluation and Review Questions” of each experiment before laboratory starts. Questions requiring results of measurements should be turned in with the laboratory report. The weight of this section is 10%. You will not get any credit if you turn it in late. You must study the laboratory material before you come to class. There may be a quiz before laboratory starts. Project assembly provides an opportunity for you to “learn-by-doing”. Knowledge and skills learned and practiced through project construction such as soldering, connecting components of printed circuit boards, testing circuits and troubleshooting circuits are essential sills required of Electronic Technicians. Project will weigh as three experiment reports. You will be allowed to use the electronics laboratory for project assembly and testing. Objectives 1. The student will be able to use schematic diagrams as guides to assemble electronic devices in an orderly manner. 2. The student will be able to properly and safely use electrical tools and equipment to assemble and test electronic devices. 3. The student will demonstrate all safety precautions designated as laboratory safety rules. 4. The student will be able to explain operational theory of electronic devices assembled. 11 Recommended Projects 1. 2. 3. 4.

Planned orderly procedures must be followed during project assembly. Tools and equipment must be used properly and safely. Assembled project must be wired neatly and perform its intended function. Student must be able to summarize operational theory of assembled project. Safety Students are expected to comply with the safety regulations, which have been established by the Technology Department. A copy of safety regulations will be made available to students before any laboratory work is initiated. Additional safety regulations involving the use of the electronic control panel will be covered during class lecture. Failure to comply with safety regulations may affect the final course grade. Clean-up Each student will be responsible for keeping his or her work area clean and in order. The equipment must be turned off at the end of the lab period, and all leads and components put in their proper places. The instructor will inspect the lab throughout the semester and take note of any areas, which are not in order. Clean-up duties are considered part of class participation and therefore, will be considered in evaluation. Diversity The Department of Technology values the diversity of people, including those individuals with special needs and exceptionalities, and those from different ethnic, racial, gender, cultural, language, socioeconomic, and religious backgrounds. All courses are designed to meet the educational needs of a diverse group of students, in addition to teaching them about the importance and influence of diversity in the content of each course. Students will interact with diversity and equity issues through experiential learning activities while in the classroom, technology laboratories, and field experiences. Students will be able to teach from a multicultural and global 12 perspective that draws on the histories and experiences of students from diverse culture backgrounds. Courses are designed to help students confront issues of diversity that affect learning and to develop strategies and materials for improving student achievement and learning. Students will develop the proficiencies to work with students from diverse backgrounds and with disabilities and special needs to ensure that all students have the opportunity to learn and succeed. 13 EDTE 211 - ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS TECHNOLOGY I Homework Sets Unless otherwise changed or modified, the following are the homework sets. Due date for the sets is on Thursday before class starts at 12:30 P.M. You will loose 10 points out of 100 per late-day. No sets will be accepted after one week of its due date or after set is returned back to class, whichever comes first. Sets due on exam days will not be accepted late. Lab reports must be turned in at the end of laboratory period, otherwise no credit will be given. If you miss a lab, your report grade will be zero. Multisim problems are from 7th edition.

Make it sure that you are studying enough. 3. Do a good job in your homework (includes laboratory reports). Homework is for you to do it at home so that you can test yourself and study further. YOU MAY STUDY TOGETHER, BUT, DO NOT SOLVE HOMEWORK PROBLEMS TOGETHER. Preferably, you must receive 75% or above to be successful in a course. If you do have problems in answering questions, seek help (i.e. see your instructor). You may also try to solve easier problems to understand the material and to get used to problem solving. Turn in your assignments on time. 4. Review all of the material covered in class and assigned. Understand all of the examples given in the text book and in class. If you do not understand, seek help. 5. Solve additional problems given in the textbook. Do twice as many problems as the homework set (i.e. if there are 8 problems in the homework, solve 16 additional problems). 6. Read the material to be covered ahead of time. You do not need to understand everything, just be familiar with the material to be covered. If you still do not understand during class, ask questions. REMEMBER, WAITING WILL MAKE YOUR PROBLEM WORSE.
