Course Number: ELM 1064 II. III. IV. Course Title: Industrial Electricity Credit Hours: 4 Credit Hours (2 Theory 6 Lab) Course Description: This course is a study of direct and alternating current fundamentals involving series, parallel and combination circuits, capacitance, ohm s law, inductance, magnetic properties, and parallel test instruments. Also covered are symbols, schematics, transformer principles, and generator principles. V. Course Prerequisite: MAT 2214 Advanced Industrial Math or approval of administration VI. Course Text: Glen A. Mazur, Electrical Principles and Practices (4th Edition), 2013, ATP publication. (ISBN# ) Other Required Training Items: 1. A basic calculator 2. Electrical Controls Template #TD Pentel OE517 twist erase mechanical pencil 4. Pad of drafting paper 5. Amprobe 15XP-B Multi-Meter 6. Safety glasses 7.

2 VII. Student Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion of this course the student should be able to: 1. measure current, voltage, resistance, and power DC circuits, 2. compute math problems necessary to calculate energy in DC circuits, 3. read schematics diagrams and construct electric circuits, and 4. Compute math problems necessary to calculate voltage, current, impedance, power factor, and resonance in AC circuits. VIII. Evaluation: Grades will be determined as follows. Written Exams, Lab tests, Homework, Quizzes 50% Final exam (which may consist of a lab final) 50% Daily participation, tours, guest speakers, oral reports, written reports or articles, research, etc. may also be utilized from time to time. Tests will cover conceptual units of related material. Material covered will be from the text, notes given by the instructor, labs, and any other materials assigned to the class as being pertinent to the course. Most activities will be fewer points. No individual bonus work will be allowed. Pop-tests will be unannounced. As this class covers a body of knowledge that is built up step-by-step, attendance and doing every day's work is extremely important. Arrangements with the instructor to make up any work missed due to an absence must be made with-in one week upon your return to class. Labs, tours, guest lectures, etc. may not be made up due to the nonavailability of time and/or resources. Grading Scale: A = B = C = D = F = 59 and below I = Incomplete C/R Credit Received W - Withdrew C/R and W are not used in computing a student's GPA. Students who stop attending a course but who do not officially withdraw by the day of official withdrawal date will receive an "F" in the course. IX. Grade Mailing Policy: UAM will no longer mail grade reports to all students. You may access your grades through Campus Connect on the UAM homepage, To have your grades mailed to you, complete the grade request form available in the Registrar s Office in Monticello or the Student Services offices in Crossett and McGehee. X. Students Disability Policy: It is the policy of the University of Arkansas- 2

3 Monticello to accommodate individuals with disabilities pursuant to federal law and the University's commitment to equal educational opportunities. It is the responsibility of the student to inform the instructor of any necessary accommodations at the beginning of the course. Any student requiring accommodations should contact the Office of Special Students representative on campus at ; fax , toll free ) XI. Cheating/Plagiarism: Cheating of any type or by any means will not be tolerated and will be subject to appropriate discipline. XII. Disruptive Behavior: The following action is prohibited under the Student Conduct Code: Disorderly Conduct: Any behavior which disrupts the regular or normal functions of the University community, including behavior which breaches the peace or violates the right of others. If you wish to talk, sleep, play games, pass notes, look at pictures, work on homework, or anything else that is not related to the class and/or lecture, don t come to class. No cell phones or other electronic devices allowed in class, except for approved basic calculators. Students must use their own calculator and may not share calculators. XIII. ATTENDANCE POLICY FOR TECHNICAL COURSES ( ) Regular and prompt attendance is expected of all students enrolled at UAM CTC and is necessary to maintain satisfactory progress. In technical courses, attendance will be recorded for each student by course. A student will be placed on attendance probation in technical courses once he/she has been absent 15% of the total scheduled hours of a course. When the student is absent 20% of the total scheduled hours of a course, the student will be officially notified in writing and dropped from the course. A letter grade of F will be recorded for the course unless official withdrawal by the student has been accomplished (see Withdrawal). The student will be notified of attendance probation in writing provided he/she has returned to school before reaching 20% absences. A student terminated for poor attendance may be considered for reenrollment in the course at its next offering with the consultation and approval of the instructor and school administration. A student cannot use make-up time to reduce hours of absence any time during the school year. Each time a student is late for class or leaves early, the student will be charged a full hour or hours of absence (rounded up to the larger hour of time). In a case of extreme emergency, a student may request a leave of absence in technical courses. A leave of absence must be requested in writing and may be granted or denied by the Student Services Coordinator. Written documentation 3

4 supporting the request for a leave of absence must be provided prior to the granting of the leave or the first day back in class after the leave. The leave of absence must be for no less than seven (7) calendar days and for no more than 21 calendar days during a fall or spring semester or 10 calendar days during a summer term. If a student s absences reach 20% of the total class hours and the student has not been approved for a leave of absence, the student will be dropped. No more than one such leave of absence can be granted in a twelve-month period. Upon receipt of proper documentation, absences caused by court subpoena, jury duty, military orders, or other government ordered visit(s) will be recorded but not included in the total cumulative hours of absence per course. The documentation must be submitted on the first day the student returns to school. Also, absences because of a natural disaster (as determined by the administration) will not be counted in the hours of absence. Agencies granting financial assistance will be notified as required of all absences of those students receiving financial aid. The policy of each agency regarding payment when a student is absent will apply in each case. XIV.
