EEM 211 - Electrical Circuits I

To teach fundamentals of circuit analysis, their applications, circuit elements and Kirchhoff’s laws.

This course provides the ability to define circuit elements, write circuit equations with Kirchhoff's laws, calculate resistive circuits, solve them with circuit analysis techniques, analyze first and second order circuits, while also providing the ability to convert between sinusoids and phasors.

Remarks and Rules

1. Attendance: It is the university policy that attendance is compulsory.  A student missing more than 30% of the total allocated course time and/or more than 20% of the total allocated laboratory time will receive a WF (Withdrawal While Failing).
2. You will be considered absent if you miss the first 15 minutes of the class time.
3. Getting Help: Students are encouraged to consult their instructor during office hours, or by appointment. However, before seeking help, make sure you read your lecture notes and/or textbook. Study the examples similar to the problem in question then try to solve the problem yourself. Students who miss a class without a valid written and/or legitimate excuse will not be offered a one-on-one lecture to substitute the missed class.
4. Academic Misconduct will not be tolerated.  You are expected to submit your own work. Copying, cheating or plagiarism, when detected, will result in an FF grade in the course for all who are involved (i.e. it does not matter if somebody copied your homework, project etc., you are guilty as well).
5. There will be no extra exam or grading for this course.
