DESCRIPTION
Analysis of sinusoidal steady-state systems. Frequency response and Bode plots. Circuit analysis
using mathematical transforms, convolution integrals, state variable methods, and transfer functions.
Simulation software applications.

LEARNING OUTCOMES
Upon completion of this course students will be able to:

1. Perform Laplace and Fourier transforms, and convolution integrals to analyze electrical
circuit response
2. Find steady-state response, impulse and step responses of electrical circuits. Derive transfer
functions and frequency response of filters
3. Conduct laboratory experiments using power supplies, function generators, multimeters,
and oscilloscopes to verify the response of electric circuits
4. Work in groups to perform experiments, collect and interpret data
5. Communicate, through proper technical language, the function and characteristics of
electrical circuits. Write technical reports to summarize lab experiments
6. Utilize software tools to predict circuit behavior, analyze and plot frequency response

COURSE REQUIREMENTS

Homework - Homework and/or lab reports are to be handed in at the beginning of the
session on the due date.
- Late homework and reports will NOT be accepted.
- Each homework grade can be one of the followings:
2 mostly correct answers
1 a few mistakes or some missing answers
0 too many mistakes
- Homework must be neatly written and logically organized.
- Each submitted homework must have a COVER PAGE. The cover page
includes the name of student and a summary of the final answers to each
problem. In the following pages where the derivations are given, the final
result of each problem must be put in a box.
- Unstapled homework or homework with no cover page will lose 1 point
(50%) of the grade.
- Working in groups for the purpose of solving homework problems is
encouraged; however, you must ultimately submit your own personal
solution to the problem sets. It is essential that you understand the
methods that you use in solving the homework problems.
Laboratory A series of lab experiments are conducted to support the course
content. Please see the lab syllabus for additional information.
Exams Exams will be given during regular class time. If a student has a
legitimate excuse for missing an exam, he/she must notify the
instructor in advance. The final will be given during exam week and will
be comprehensive.

Note: To obtain a W grade, students must withdraw from the course prior to week 9 for Fall and
Spring semesters or before the end of the week 4 for the Summer term. After this date, it is not possible
to withdraw from the course.

ACADEMIC POLICIES
Academic Integrity
Academic honesty is of utmost importance at AUD, as described in the Student Handbook. Students are
expected to demonstrate academic integrity by completing their own work, assignments and other
assessment exercises. Submission of work from another person, whether it is from printed sources or
someone other than the student; previously graded papers; papers submitted without proper citations; or
submitting the same paper to multiple courses without the knowledge of all instructors involved can result in
a failing grade. Incidents involving academic dishonesty will be reported to university officials for appropriate
sanctions.

Furthermore, students must always submit work that represents their original words or ideas. If any words
or ideas used in a class posting or assignment submission do not represent the student’s original words or
ideas, all relevant sources must be cited along with the extent to which such sources were used. Words or
ideas that require citation include, but are not limited to, all hard copy or electronic publications, whether
copyrighted or not, and all verbal or visual communication when the content of such communication clearly
originates from an identifiable source.

Classroom Atmosphere
As a courtesy to the class, mobile phones and pagers must be silenced or turned off so that they will not
disturb the class. Possession of active cell phones or communication devices during exams is unacceptable
and will result in assignment of an (F) grade in the exam.

Attendance
Due to the nature of the course, attendance and class participation are both important aspects of the
learning experience. For this reason, students are expected to arrive to class on-time, to attend all classes,
and actively participate in class discussions. Students are required to abide by the university policy on
attendance published in the Undergraduate Catalog and the Student Handbook.

Make-up
Some scheduled class meetings that do not take place because of declared holidays, instructor illness or any
unforeseen circumstances may be rescheduled by the University or the instructor. These make up class
session will be scheduled during the Study/Make-up period allotted at the end of the semester. Any class
activity (lecture, exam, class presentation, etc.) that cannot be performed because of such class cancellations
will take place during the first class meeting held after reconvening, in order to preserve the order of the
class schedule as much as possible.
