COURSE DESCRIPTION
Prerequisite: MAT 1033, or appropriate score on the SPC Placement test, or permission of the program director. This course will
cover the direct current (DC) characteristics of electric and magnetic circuits, using Ohm’s and Kirchhoff’s laws, with the use of
related theorems, including Thevenin, Norton, superposition, nodal and mesh equations, for solving DC circuits. The laboratory
exercises cover the measurement and analysis of direct current (DC) circuits, including the verification of the related network
theorems. 62 contact hours

COURSE REQUIREMENTS
TESTING
There will be four (4) tests. The lowest grade on any of the four tests will be dropped and the lowest lab
score. There will also be a Final Cumulative Exam which can’t be dropped. All tests are timed.
As more tests are taken, labs handed in, and scores entered into MyCourses, the system will in real time
determine your overall grade average. At the end of the semester, I will drop your lowest test & lab score.
Make-up tests will be given in only extreme circumstances (i.e. family emergencies, injury, etc.).
If an exam is missed without prior consultation the score for that exam is a “0.”
(Exceptions being the reasons listed above)
ATTENDANCE AND WITHDRAWAL POLICY
The college-wide attendance policy is included in the Syllabus Addendum http://www.spcollege.edu/webcentral/policies.htm. The
policy notes that each instructor is to exercise professional judgment and define “active participation” in class (and therefore
“attendance”), and publish that definition in each syllabus. For this class, attendance is defined as arriving to class on time and
participating in classroom activities (lectures, exams, labs, etc.) 60% of the class time, by 60% semester reporting attendance date.
If a student fails to participate as defined above, they will be automatically dropped from the class and receive a WF for the grade.
HOMEWORK
Homework will be assigned for each section but it’s not graded or collected. Homework questions will be reviewed the first 15
minutes of class.
GRADING POLICY
The average of the 3 highest tests will count for 46% of the grade and the Final Exam will count for 18% of the grade. The labs
will count for 36% of the grade.
90% – 100% = A
80% – 89% = B
70% – 79% = C
60% – 69% = D
Below 60% = F
LABORATORY GRADING
Laboratory reports are due one week from assigned date
Laboratory reports will be downgraded one letter grade for each week late.
BASIC SCIENTIFIC CALCULATOR: Needed. Ex. Sharp, Casio, TI-30, etc. (under $20)
SCANTRON FORM NO. 882-E is used for the quizzes and tests. Please purchase at least six (6) of these forms

STUDENT’S EXPECTATIONS AND INSTRUCTOR’S EXPECTATIONS
College-wide student expectations are located in the Syllabus Addendum: http://www.spcollege.edu/webcentral/policies.htm..
STUDENT SURVEY OF INSTRUCTION (SSI)
The student survey of instruction is administered in courses each semester. It is designed to improve the quality of instruction at St.
Petersburg College. All student responses are confidential and anonymous and will be used solely for the purpose of performance
improvement. The survey will be available on MyCourses under the Lessons tab. It will be active towards the end of the semester.
HURRICANE EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
In the event that a hurricane or other natural disaster causes significant damage to St. Petersburg College facilities, you may be
provided the opportunity to complete your course work online. Following the event, please visit the college web site for an
announcement of the College’s plan to resume operations.
SYLLABUS
This Syllabus is currently available in MyCourses for your convenience. Log in to MyCourses to confirm that you have access,

EET 1015C DC Circuit Analysis Experiment Platform Example
1. Solderless Breadboard
At right is a typical breadboard. There are several rows of holes for
components. The holes on the breadboard are separated by 0.1-inch
spaces, and are organized in many short rows in the center, and in two
long columns down each side of the board. The short horizontal rows in
the middle are separated by a center divider. On each side of the board
are two long columns of holes, with a blue or a red line next to each
column. The column of vertical holes next to the red line lines are
connected together with a strip of metal in the back. The same is true
for the column of vertical holes next to the blue lines. In the center are
several short rows of holes separated by a central divider. All of the five
holes in each row in the center are connected with a metal strip as
well. For Ex holes: a, b, c, d, & e in row 1 are all connected together.
Holes f, g, h, I & j in row 1 are also connected together but they are
isolated from the a-b-c-d-e connection. This allows you to use the holes
in any given row to connect components together. To see which holes are
connected to which, take a multimeter and a couple of wires, set the
multimeter to measure continuity, stick the two wires in two holes, and
measure them with the multimeter. If the meter indicates continuity, then
the two holes in question are connected.

2. Back of Solderless Breadboard
On each side of the board are two long rows of holes, with a blue or a red line next to each row. All the
holes in each of these lines are connected together with a strip of metal in the back. In the center are
several short rows of holes separated by a central divider. All of the five holes in each row in the center
are connected with a metal strip as well. This allows you to use the holes in any given row to connect
components together.

3. Solderless 2-Panel Breadboard with Binding Posts
There are 3 binding posts for convenient attachment of power sources, or input or output signals. Premium
quality, this breadboard has a non-warping base, aluminum ground plates for high speed and low noise, and
features a color coding Letter/Number labeling scheme to assist in circuit layout and debugging.
