Description:
This course is an introduction to the basic concepts and
terminology of electronics intended for the non-electronics major. Topics start
with electricity and continue through everyday commercial and home applications. Course
Objectives:
Required
Text: Essentials
of Electronics – 2e,
Frank D. Petruzella Also
Available is Student Activities Manual to Accompany Essentials of Electronics
– this is optional for this course. Grading: Graded
work will have the following weights.
All
work must be submitted on time, with cover sheet and in the proper format.
Factors included in grades will include spelling, grammar, neatness and format
as well as the nature of the work. Attendance: As
with most college level courses, attendance is left up to the student, however,
any work missed as a result of an absence is the responsibility of the student.
In the case of a quiz, a makeup will be allowed only in the case where the
student has made arrangements PRIOR to the absence.
Lab
Reports: Labs
will be taken substantially from the lab manual. Students are expected to
prepare for the experiment before coming to class. Parts needed for an
experiment may need to be ordered over a week in advance. Students must plan in
advance for experiments. Lab
reports must include a cover page, record of data acquired during the
experiment, analysis of data, summary of procedure and conclusions. Students are
encouraged to prepare appropriate portions of the lab report using a word
processor. Clarity and brevity play a major role in the grading of lab
write-ups. Grading
criteria for lab reports are as shown on the sample cover sheet included as the
last page of this syllabus. Homework: Homework
is due as announced when the work is assigned. Students should be prepared to
present the work in class when the work is due. Work will be collected at the end
of class to allow discussion on the work. As with all graded work, homework must
include a cover page. Examinations: Currently
there are three exams planned - two during the term and a comprehensive final
exam. Quizzes: The
instructor reserves the right to give quizzes, in either lab or lecture sessions
on any topic. This will include both announced and 'Pop' quizzes. Quizzes will
be conducted on-line, and the period allowed to complete the quiz will be
limited. Term
Papers: A
term paper may be assigned which will require research using library and
Internet resources. Standard format and footnote requirements are required. Web
Page: An
Internet web page for the course will be made available which will provide the
current schedule, a listing of all assignments, access to the online Grade
Server and other useful information. This page can be accessed through the
instructor's home page at URL - http://frodo.msun.edu/~strizich - a link to the
page for EET 110 is available from that point. Schedule: A
complete schedule detailing the chapters covered during each week, exam
schedules and Lab Experiment schedules, will be published on the Web site and
updated as changes occur.
