Policies

  • No laptops, Internet appliances (e.g. Kindle, Nook, Ipad, etc.), smart phones, can be used during lectures or exams.
  • If an exam or quiz is open book then only the course textbook can be used (no ebooks, Kindle, Nook, etc., newer/international editions, or photocopies).
  • No late work accepted. All assigned work is due at the beginning of class.
  • The final exam will not be returned at the end of the semester, not even temporarily for you to review.
  • Regularly being tardy for lectures, leaving in the middle of lectures, or earlier from lectures is unacceptable without prior consent of the instructor.
  • Cheating or plagiarism will result in an automatic F grade in the course (so do your own homework and projects!)
  • Questions for the instructor (only) should be asked in person (not via email).

 

Course Outcomes

After completing EE 220 students will be able to:

1.

Analyze simple resistive circuits including those containing independent sources with mesh and nodal analysis (1.b, 1.c, 1.f, 1.g, 1.i, 1.j)

2.

Derive simplified resistor networks (1.c, 1.f, 1.g, 1.i, 1.j)

3.

Derive Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuits (1.b, 1.c, 1.f, 1.g, 1.i, 1.j)

4.

Apply circuit theorems (Ohms Law, Superposition, Source transformation) to simplify the analysis of electrical circuits (1.b, 1.c, 1.f, 1.g, 1.i, 1.j)

5.

Analyze of operational amplifiers circuits (1.c, 1.c, 1.g, 1.i, 1.j)

6.

Analyze first- and second-order RL, RC circuits containing switches, independent sources, dependent sources, resistors, capacitors, inductors for transient response (1.a,1.b, 1.c, 1.f, 1.g, 1.i, 1.j)
