Lectures:Lectures will be given every Tuesday and Thursday. Weekly homework problems will be assigned each Thursday and due the following Thursday. Homework questions can be addressed during office hours or during the weekly Monday discussion session. The homework will not be collected. However, on Thursday one of the homework problems will be selected at random and a modified version will be given as a short in-class quiz. The total quiz grade will be worth the same as one exam.

Course Material:

Required: You will be required to purchase :(1) Textbook: Engineering Circuit Analysis (Eighth Edition), William Hayt, Jack Kemmerly and Steven Durbin

Optional:

(1) Digital Multimeter: It is optional (but highly recommended) that you also purchase a digital multimeter (DMM). The multimeter will be needed to complete most, if not all, of the laboratory exercises. A multimeter is one of the most utilized instruments an electrical engineer owns and will be useful for your entire time at UD (and hopefully well beyond!). There are many good multimeters that you can purchase on-line or at numerous stores (e.g. Radioshack, Sears, Homedepot ….) . The DMM sold by Digilent (MS8217) we have found to be a well made product at a reasonable cost:http://www.digilentinc.com/Products/Detail.cfm?NavPath=2,842,882&Prod=MULTIMETER-MS8217If you choose not to purchase a DMM you can use the meters available in the Evans 134 laboratory.

(2) Computer: To use the Digilent Explorer Breadboards you will have to connect the boards (via USB) to a computer running the Digilent WaveForms software interface. The software can be downloaded at no cost from Digilent(http://www.digilentinc.com/Products/Catalog.cfm?NavPath=2,842&Cat=17). If you do not have a computer you will have access to the computers in the Evans 134 laboratory.

Borrowed: You will need to check out a Digilent Explorer Breadboard from the ECE Department. You will be responsible for returning the breadboards in good condition at the end of the semester.

Laboratory Exercises:

There will be five different laboratory exercises plus one bonus design problem.

You will also be required to sign up for a weekly 5 minute time-slot to demonstrate your laboratory exercise to one of the TAs (Note: onceyou pick a time-slot you will be required to keep that same time slot throughout the semester unless the TAs agree to a rare exception).During your time slot you will be asked to; (1) turn in the laboratory worksheet, (2) demonstrate your circuit to the TA and (3) answer a fewspecific questions. The TAs will then assign you a laboratory grade based on your worksheets, how well you demonstrated your circuit aswell as how well you answer their questions. No late laboratories will be allowed (i.e. zeroes will be given for any weekly laboratory exercisenot presented to the TA by your scheduled time slot).

To conduct the exercises students are required to first check out a Digilent Explorer Breadboard from the ECE Department and StarterParts Kit (note that this part kit will also be used in ELEG 309). Using the Digilent breadboard you can work on the laboratories at homeor in the ECE Lab (Evans 134).

Board check-out will occur as follows:

Tuesday, 29th August 2017. 10:00am to 12:00 noon, 1:00pm to 6:00pm. Last name beginning with A thru H. Thursday, 29th August 2017. 10:00am to 12:00 noon, 12:00 noon to 5:00pm. Last name beginning with I thru P. Tuesday, 5th September 2017. 10:00am to 12:00 noon, 12:00 noon to 5:00pm. Last name beginning with Q thru Z.

If you drop the class during the course of the semester, you must return their board ASAP.

Optional Bonus Design Challenge: I will assign a design challenge sometime early in the semester. If you chose toattempt the design challenge you will need to; (1) design a circuit (of your own), (2) visit Dr. Mirotznik during office hoursand show him a paper design prior to building it, (3) demonstrate a working version of your design to the TAs and Dr.Mirotznik by the last day of class. If your design works AND it is clear to Dr. Mirotznik that you did this on your own andunderstand how it works you will get a bump of one letter grade on your final grade (e.g. “C” to a “B” or “B” to an “A” …). However, it must work! No partial credit will be given to non-working circuits. Also, while you are allowed to lookthrough books and on the WEB to get ideas of how to build specific portions of your design you are not allowed to copy theentire circuit directly from these sources or from someone else in the class. If I find you did not do this project on your ownyou will not receive any additional credit and may be reported to the university for an academic honesty violation.

Please be warned that the time you will spend designing, building and testing will almost certainly be greater than the timeyou will spend improving your grade by extra studying for exams. However, there is no better way to learn this subject thanto do it! So I encourage anyone interested to give it a try. The department will pay for your components (as long as they arereasonable in cost).

NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE AT LEAST A “C-” AVERAGE ON THE PREVIOUS 2 EXAMS (70% or above) TO PARTICIPATE IN THE DESIGN CHALLENGE

Homework Assignment

Homework will be assigned each Thursday and due the following Thursday. It will not be collected! Instead, one of the homeworkproblems will be picked randomly, modified slightly and given as an in-class quiz.

Class Attendance and Excused AbsencesStudents are HIGHLY encouraged to attend all lectures and discussion sessions. For missed quizzes, laboratories and exams I follow theuniversity’s policy on “Student Class Attendance and Excused Absences”,http://facultyhandbook.udel.edu/handbook/3113-student-class-attendance-and-excused-absences. Specifically;

(1) Absences due to religious holidays not listed in University calendars, as well as absences due to athletic participation or otherextracurricular activities in which students are official representatives of the University are recognized as excused absences. However, itis the student’s responsibility to inform me in writing during the first two weeks of the semester of these planned absences for thesemester.(2) Absences due to serious illness or death within a student's family, or other serious family emergency, are recognized as excusedabsences. To validate such absences, the student must present evidence to the Dean's Office of the College of Engineering. The Dean'sOffice will then provide a letter of verification to me.(3) Absences due to personal illness is also recognized as an excused absence. However, it is the student’s responsibility to validate suchabsences. To do so the student must present evidence of the illness to the Dean's Office of his the College of Engineering. Supportiveevidence will be provided on the student's request by the Student Health Service directly to the respective Dean. The Dean's Office willthen provide a letter of verification to me.

NOTE: That if you do not provide evidence to the Dean’s office that validates an absence it will be recognized as an unexcusedabsence and any missed graded material (quizzes, laboratories and exams) will be given a failing 0/100 grade. I do not makeexceptions to this policy!

Dr. M’s Policies, Pet Peeves and Class Philosophy No cell phones, laptops, tablets or other electronic gadgets out during class. You are way better off listening to me and

writing down notes by hand. More importantly, I find it distracting and rude when folks are texting or surfing during my lectures. Please just don’t do it!

Class is optional but highly recommended!

Do not think you can blow off class and get by reading the book and cramming before exams. That simply does not work in this class!

This is not a course, and I am not an instructor, that requires much memorization. This is a class that requires you to learn and apply concepts. My exams are not tricky but do stress your basic knowledge of concepts.

Do not get off to a bad start! This course starts out rather slow and the beginning material is pretty easy. However, it snowballs very quickly and if you did not fully grasp the concepts from the beginning of the course you will struggle as things get more complicated.

Attending the discussion session is a really good idea. I will show you how to do the homework problems and often give hints on problems you might see on exams.

Ask lots of questions! I really like an interactive class. If there are no questions I will likely pick on folks randomly to ask questions. I am not trying to be mean! I am usually trying to figure out if I am going too quickly. Unless I catch you with your phone out (or you have a green bay packer shirt on) and then, yes, I am trying to be mean.

This is called an open circuit.No current flows in an open circuit.(electrons do not shoot out the end of the wire)

Some things to keep in mind about voltage1. Voltage is always measured between two points in a circuit. Saying the

voltage at point A is 100 Volts is meaningless unless you tell me what it is measured with respect to.

2. We normally identify a point in the circuit as the reference. This is typically given the symbol of “ground”

3. Voltage has a polarity (+ and -) that tells us which side has the higher voltage with respect to the other side. The + is the high side and the – is the low side.

• When describing voltage please DO NOT use terms like:• The voltage through ….• The voltage flowing …
