Objectives:
(1) Reinforce fundamental concepts of current, voltage, power, Kirchhoff's laws, and resistance from general physics. (2) Introduce and practice fundamental DC analysis techniques such as mesh and nodal analysis, linearity and superposition, source transformations, and Thevenin's and Norton's theorems. (3) Introduce time dependent behavior of first- and second-order circuits and the associated mathematical analysis. (4) Introduce and practice the analysis of the steady-state response of circuits to sinusoidal sources through phasor analysis. (5) Gain hands-on laboratory experience with equipment such as power supplies, multimeters, oscilloscopes, and function generators. (6) Develop skills using simulation software.
Outcomes: After successful completion of this course the student should be able to
(1) apply their knowledge and experiences toward follow-up courses such as Signals and Systems, and Analog Electronics, (2) use circuit fundamentals in their job experiences, and (3) successfully complete the electric circuits part of the Fundamentals of Engineering examination.
Laboratory: The laboratory provides students the opportunity to put to practice much of the theory and analysis techniques presented in lecture. It also allows students to gain experience constructing physical circuits and using the lab equipment (computer software, power supplies, multimeters, oscilloscopes, and function generators). See the Laboratory Policies handout for policies and procedures concerning the laboratory.

Course Policies:
· Homework will be assigned daily, and is due at the beginning of class, as it will be the first order of business every class period. No late submissions will be accepted. Homework should be prepared in an organized manner with all answers clearly indicated (either circled or boxed in). You must show all of your work to receive full credit. Please be sure that you write your name on your homework, and that all of the pages are firmly stapled together.
Beginning in about three weeks (date to be announced) you may print "FREE" in large capital letters adjacent to the problem number for any eight (8) homework problems. These eight problems will be marked perfect. Keep count of the number of FREE's you use and stop at eight! These FREE problems are also due at the beginning of the class period.
· A 15-minute quiz will be given at the beginning of class every Thursday. The lowest quiz score will be dropped.
· A comprehensive final exam will be given during finals week.
· Class attendance will be observed, but is not required. However, you are responsible for everything that happens in class. If you miss a quiz or homework submission as a result of an unexcused absence, you will receive a grade of zero on the quiz or homework.
· I will always be available during my designated office hours, but you may stop by my office at any time. If I am free, I will be more than happy to talk with you. However, if you want to be sure that I will be in my office at a time other than my designated office hours, make an appointment with me.
· Your grade for the course will be based entirely on your performance on homework, quizzes, the final exam, and the laboratory exercises. The point breakdown for your final grade is as follows:
Homework 100 Quizzes 300 Final Exam 150 Lab Exercises 100 (See Lab Policies handout) 650
· Your final grade will be determined from your total points as follows:
A 572 - 650 B 507 - 571 C 423 - 506 D 358 - 422 F 0 - 357
You must pass ( > 55% ) both the lecture portion of the course and the lab portion of the course to receive a passing grade for the course.
· Course material (lecture notes, homework/reading assignments, homework/quiz solutions, and laboratory exercises) will be posted on the web using WebCT. Information about WebCT and directions on how to access your WebCT account can be found at http://webct.stcloudstate.edu/.
Note: I am strongly committed to continually improving every course I teach, and student feedback is essential for making improvements. Your feelings about the course (good or bad) are very important to me. Any feedback (e.g., ideas, suggestions, comments) you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
