Texts: Donald A. Neamen,
Electronic Circuit Analysis and Design, 2nd Edition McGrawHill.
Kit: All students will need an EE Kit for parts.
Assignments: Homework shall be assigned weekly and is to be turned in at the end of class as announced. Solutions will be posted in the library. Laboratory work is to be documented in a manner consistent with good engineering practice. You will need to complete the reading assignments and examples before class to best participate and understand the material presented. All material submitted for grading should be presented in neat and professional form.
Grading: The weighting
of each component of your work is shown as follows:
· Laboratory 25% (7 labs)
· Homework (plus in-class exercises) 15% (~12)
· Two hour exams 20% each
· Final 20%
The decision of your grade will
be based upon the following criteria as demonstrated by your performance on
the exams, homework, classroom participation and lab:
A: Complete mastery of all presented material and reading
B: Good mastery of the presented material and reading
C: Marginal understanding and mastery of the presented material
D: Sub-marginal understanding of the course material
Make-ups for exams, homework and laboratories will be held only at the discretion of the instructor and need to be arranged on an individual basis.
