Web site: Class information will be posed on Blackboard. Point your web browser to my.oregonstate.edu and select ENGR_202_001_S2008 ABET Course Learning Objectives: Students must demonstrate the ability to: 1. Apply circuit analysis techniques to single-phase AC circuits using phasors to calculate real power, reactive power and apparent power. (ABET Outcomes a, k) 2. Apply circuit analysis techniques to three-phase circuits to calculate line- and phasevoltages and currents, and real, reactive and apparent power. (ABET Outcomes a, k) 3. Apply the principles of frequency dependence of inductive and capacitive components for the analysis of passive filters. (ABET Outcomes a, c, k) 4. Perform laboratory experiments utilizing the above concepts. (ABET Outcomes a, b) Communication: Please restrict office visits to office hours or by appointment. Be prepared. If the question is with regard to a particular circuit, be sure to bring the circuit diagram. E-mail communication must include "ENGR202" in the subject line or it will be routed to my junk mail folder. Well-phrased e-mails that look like you have given your problem some thought are more likely to receive a response.
Policies: 1.Reading assignments: You are expected to read the relevant book chapters BEFORE the topics are covered in class. If you are prepared then we can have a discussion at a higher level. Come to class armed with questions. 2.Attendance: Attendance at class is optional but you wont get your (or your parents') money's worth if you don't attend. 3.Questions: Please ask questions in class. If you have trouble understanding something, chances are that someone is else having the same problem. Don't be shy! Being shy doesn't get you anywhere in this business. 4.Quizzes. There will occasionally be a short in-class pop quiz for those who are awake. The quiz may cover material in the reading assignments not yet covered in class. BE PREPARED. No make-ups, no exceptions! 5.Homework: You are encouraged to discuss homework solutions with your fellow students and the TAs. 6.Late homework: 20% off plus additional 10% per day late. No credit after graded homeworks have been returned. 7.Exams: Exams are closed book, one pages of notes allowed. Calculators allowed. No computers. No devices may receive external signals (transmission OK ). 8.Make-up exams: The only valid excuses for missing exams fall under the "death or dismemberment" category. "My alarm didn't go off" or "I got a flat tire" don't count. I will not give make-up exams except for documented medical emergencies. 9.If caught cheating you will be subject to the maximum penalty allowed by the university. Please review http://oregonstate.edu/admin/stucon/achon.htm for university policy. Just don't do it! It's not worth ruining the rest of your career. Grading percentages: Laboratory Homework Quizzes Midterm exam Final exam What you should already know: Basic dc circuit analysis (KCL, KVL, mesh/node analysis, Thevenin, etc.) Complex arithmetic Calculus Units are important!
"On September 23, 1999 the Mars Climate Orbiter was lost during an orbit injection maneuver when the spacecraft crashed onto the surface of Mars. The principal cause of the mishap was traced to a thruster calibration table, in which British units instead of metric units were used. The software for celestial navigation at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory expected the thruster impulse data to be expressed in newton seconds, but Lockheed Martin Astronautics in Denver, which built the orbiter, provided the values in pound-force seconds, causing the impulse to be interpreted as roughly one-fourth its actual value." -- http://www.aticourses.com/international_system_units.htm In this class you must express all numerical answers in the proper SI (System International) units, e.g. volt, amp, ohm, joule, watt, etc. Do not be surprised if you lose points for not having units!!!!
