   9a. Class attendance: Class
  attendance is compulsory. The  9b. Absence from examinations: Students
  are required to attend all examinations. If a student is absent from an
  examination for a justifiable reason acceptable to the professor, he or she
  will be given a special examination. Otherwise, he or she will receive a
  grade of zero of "F" in the examination missed. (Bulletin of
  Information Undergraduate Studies, pp. 39, 1995-96) 9c. Final examinations: Final
  written examinations must be given in all courses unless, in the judgment of
  the Dean, the nature of the subject makes it impracticable. Final

  2. Course Description: 
   | 
 |
| 
   Course Number:        INEL 4075 Course Title: Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering-- See item
  number 2 in Course Syllabus Section for Course Description.  | 
 |
  3. Purpose:
   | 
 |
| 
   The purpose of the course is to introduce engineering students other than electrical engineering students to the basic concepts needed to analyze electric circuits.  | 
 |
  4. Course Goals:
   | 
 |
| 
   After completing the course, each student should be able
  to analyze a DC or an AC electric circuit using the techniques learned in
  class. In addition, the student should be able to solve circuit problem
  containing components such as operational amplifiers and ideal transformers.
  The student should be able to perform sinusoidal steady-state power calculations
  and to analyze a three-phase balanced circuit.  | 
 |
  5. Requirements:
   | 
 |
| 
   All students are expected to: Complete all lessons. Do all assigned readings and related homework. Come to class all the time and on time. Pass all tests and quizzes to receive credit for the
  course.  | 
 |
  6. Laboratory/Field Work (If applicable),
  General Rules:
   | 
 |
| 
   No laboratory project of fieldwork
  is required. Radios, tape recorders, and other
  audio or video equipment are not permitted in the classroom at any time. Cellular Phones and pagers should
  be in quiet mode in the classroom and OFF during exams. Smoking
  is not permitted in any area other than those areas designated for smoking. 
  | 
 |
  7. Instructional Strategy:
   | 
 |
| 
   The course will consist mainly of
  lectures. Students will be assigned problems as homework to be individually
  solved for their own benefit. Students should have a problem notebook to
  solve all assigned problems. Not all problems will be collected for grading,
  however, failure to complete homework problems will adversely affect students
  skills to master the material. Quizzes will test the student ability to solve
  the problems. There will also be homeworks to collect in class. These will
  count towards the final grade.   | 
 |
  8. Evaluation/Grade Reporting:
   | 
 |
| 
   Evaluation will be based on three
  midterm exams, a set of quizzes, and a final exam weighted as indicated below: Midterm
  1:                             20% Midterm
  2:                             20% Midterm
  3:                             20% Quizzes
  & Hwks                   20% Final Exam:                           20%                                         -------------- Total:                                     100%   Midterm
  1:                            25% Midterm
  2:                            25% Midterm
  3:                            25% Quizzes
  & Hwks                  25%                                          -------------- Total:                                    100% Quizzes and homeworks will count towards one grade.
  The lowest grade in a quiz will be dropped and others will count towards the
  grade. We will not have makeup quizzes. There will be a quiz evaluating the
  material taught from the date of midterm 3 to the end of class.    Final grades will be assigned according to the
  following scale: 0          -           59        F 60        -           69        D 70        -           79        C 80        -           89        B 90        -           100      A    |

  9. Deadlines:
   | 
 |
| 
   Important dates: Exam 1:            Exam 2:           Thursday,
  March 14, 2002 Exam 3:            Final Exam:      All exams will be held during the class hour.    | 
 |
  10. Attendance and Behavior:
   | 
 |
| 
   ·  
  Attendance
  will be daily monitored in class. ·  
  Students are
  not allowed to leave the classroom during class except in exceptional
  circumstances. ·  
  It
  is the student responsibility to ensure signing-up everyday the attendance list
  to be circulated by the professor at the beginning of each class. ·  
  Approximately,
  every 15 lectures an attendance report will be generated. ·  
  A
  student with more than 3 (three) missed lectures in a reporting period will
  be considered not to be regularly attending class. ·  
  Make-up
  for exams will be furnished only upon “valid excuse”. Your professor reserves
  the right to determine what is a “valid excuse”. ·  
  There will be no make-up for
  quizzes. ·  
  No baseball
  caps allowed during quizzes or exams. ·  
  No “special”
  projects will be given to anyone to improve grades or for any other reason. · Students are not allowed improper behavior. ·   Honesty is expected from all
  students. If a student is caught cheating during an exam, quiz or homework,
  this clearly demonstrates that he or she is not capable of producing
  individual intellectual property material. Therefore the student will face
  the following sanctions: ·        
  The grade
  will be zero in the piece of work where cheating was found. ·        
  The department will be notified of the student name
  and evidence of cheating so the department determines if disciplinary action
  should be taken to the “Junta de Disciplina”. If there is a pending case at
  the “Junta de Disciplina”, the student will be awarded an incomplete with F
  until the “Junta de Disciplina” decides the case.    | 
 |
  12. Instructor Responsibilities (If
  applicable):
   | 
 |
| 
   Your instructor
  will provide handouts for material discussed in class not covered in the
  textbook.    |
