Nilsson, Electric Circuits, 10 th Edition, 2015, Prentice Hall. Class I will set up a class list which I will use to communicate with the class. You should check your daily, since important information and reminders will be delivered this way. The listserv will use your clemson.edu address. Any messages you send to the list will be delivered to every student in the class as well as me. To contact only me, please use my address listed above. Canvas Canvas ( is an electronic course management system that will be used to post videos, class notes, assignments, homework clarifications and hints, supplemental readings, links to other resources, and grades. Canvas will also be used to collect homework assignments and take exams. Course Description The goals for this course are to provide the student with an understanding of, and a proficiency in the analysis of, electrical circuits containing both active and passive components under both steady state and dynamic (time varying) conditions. These goals will be accomplished by studying and applying the topics found in the topical outline below. ECE 2620 is a core (fundamental, essential) course for all electrical and computer engineering majors. It is the second of two courses on basic electrical circuit analysis, the first course being ECE 2020 Electric Circuits I. These two courses are among the most fundamental and important courses you will take in the ECE curriculum. Many future courses, both lecture and laboratory, are built on this material. Success in the junior level coursework requires mastery of this material, not only solving circuit problems but also understanding why the methods work and when they should be applied. Mastering the material will require study of the text and class notes, participation in the classroom, and especially diligent practice of the homework problems. 1/4

2 Topical Outline 1. Sinusoidal Steady-State Circuit Analysis ( 9 hours) 2. Sinusoidal Power Calculation ( 6 hours) 3. Introduction to Three- Phase Networks ( 3 hours) 4. Laplace Transforms ( 6 hours) 5. Laplace-Domain Circuit Analysis ( 6 hours) 6. Frequency-Selective Circuits (Filters) ( 4 hours) 7. Two-Port Circuits ( 2 hours) 8. Ideal Op Amps ( 2 hours) 9. Tests ( 3 hours) Calculator For this course you will need a scientific calculator, such as the TI-89 Titanium or TI-Nspire CX CAS, that is capable of solving simultaneous equations and inverting matrices with both complex numbers and symbolic quantities and performing partial fraction expansion. (The TI-84 does not easily support matrices of complex numbers or symbolic computation. The TI-Nspire CX, without the CAS, does not support symbolic computation.) A cell phone or tablet may NOT be used as a calculator. More information on calculators is available on Canvas. It is your responsibility to learn how to use your calculator! Note: Use of stored equations or other course material during an exam will be considered a violation of academic integrity. Grading Grading will be based on homework, three midterm exams, and a final exam. The expected weights and scale are : Homework 10% A 90% - 100% Midterm Exams (18% each) 54% B 80% - 89% Final Exam 36% C 70% - 79% D 60% - 69% Exams There will be three midterm exams and a final exam. The dates for the midterms and final (as well as times and locations, for those taking exams on site) will be posted on Canvas. Midterms and the final MUST be taken on the day specified in the schedule. Exams must either be taken on site at Clemson University or remotely with a proctor. Students who live or work within 60 miles of Clemson University are required to take exams on site. Students taking the exam remotely will need to find a proctor to supervise and monitor the student during exams, ensuring a secure environment free of distractions and/or resources that might compromise the integrity of the exam. Acceptable proctors are those who have an appropriate level of credentials to administer a college-level exam. (The proctor does not need to be familiar with the content of the course.) Your professor will make the final decision on whether your proctor is acceptable. Examples of preferred proctors include librarians, testing center staff, professors or teachers, supervisors, and human resources representatives. Further information about proctors and the approval process is provided in the Proctor Approval/Agreement Form, available on Canvas. All exams are closed book and closed notes. You are permitted a handwritten one-page (front and back, 8.5 x11 ) note sheet of diagrams and formulas. The note sheet may 2/4

3 NOT contain worked problems. The note sheet may contain diagrams and formulas for standard circuits, such as parallel and series combinations of impedances and the standard linear transformer circuit. Your name should be printed in the upper right corner of the note sheet. The exam format is multiple choice with answers collected using Canvas. The proctor will provide you with a printed version of the exam which you use to work the problems. The proctor will collect your formula sheet and worked exam. The formula sheet and exam may be returned after grades for the exam are posted. For all midterm exams and the final exam, students are permitted 1) a number 2 pencil, 2) a scientific calculator, and 3) note sheet as described above. If you cannot take an exam at the scheduled time for any reason, the instructor should be notified in advance if possible, otherwise at least on the day of the exam. Except under very unusual circumstances, no makeup will be given without appropriate notification. For an excused absence, the missed midterm grade will be replaced by the grade on the final exam. Homework Homework provides the necessary practice for mastering the concepts of the course. An important component of homework is learning how to start the problem given the material you have seen in lecture. That skill, developed only through repeated practice, will prepare you for subsequent courses that build on the material from this course. You should attempt every problem on your own. You are encouraged to discuss homework with your peers, in person or on the discussion boards, but you should start and finish problems yourself. All submitted work must be completed by you individually. You may use appropriately cited online resources, but not solutions to the assigned problems. Homework problems will be assigned daily and collected via Canvas for credit. Answers (not solutions) will be posted with the problems. Problems will be due a few days after they are assigned. To prepare homework for submission: In the top right corner of the first page, write your first and last name, student ID number, and the homework number (e.g. HW11). In the top right corner of EVERY subsequent page, write your last name and homework number. Order problems in the order they were assigned. Write up your solutions to each assignment neatly and box the answers to all problems/subproblems. Assignments must be submitted as a SINGLE PDF file with excellent legibility. Other file formats or multiple pdf files will receive a zero. See Canvas for suggestions on converting to high quality pdf. Name the single pdf file ECE2620- HWxx-LastName-UserID.pdf If Dr. Groff was submitting homework #11, the file would be ECE2620-HW11-Groff-regroff.pdf. Please note the use of dashes to separate items in the filename. Upload the pdf file to the submission location on Canvas. Note that since homework is assigned daily, several homework assignments will be open simultaneously. Be sure to submit the correct problems to the correct submission location. Late homework will be penalized 25% per 12 hour period after the Homework Deadline. Online Course Procedures ECE-2020 is an online course this summer. All materials, except for the textbook, will be provided on Canvas. Homework due dates and procedures for submission will be posted on 3/4

4 Canvas. Procedures for taking online exams will be sent to the class via , as well as being posted on Canvas. In this online course, you will interact with the content, instructor, and classmates on at least a weekly basis through assignments and discussions as indicated in the class syllabus. In addition to the discussion boards, I will be available through , phone, and perhaps other alternative methods to be explored this summer. Details on how to arrange contact will be posted on Canvas. If you are residing on campus this summer, you can make an appointment to see me in my office. A Topical Outline and Schedule, available on Canvas, will list suggested coverage each day, leading up to each of the three exams. This will hopefully help you manage your time, which is crucial in a summer class. Academic Integrity Collaboration between students on homework assignments is allowed under the guidelines presented above. Keep in mind that the tests will draw from the homework, thus it is advantageous for each student to understand every homework assignment. Absolutely no collaboration is permitted on exams. Any suspected violation of academic integrity will be reported in writing to the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Studies. The official statement on Academic Integrity is as follows: As members of the Clemson University community, we have inherited Thomas Green Clemson's vision of this institution as a 'high seminary of learning.' Fundamental to this vision is a mutual commitment to truthfulness, honor and responsibility, without which we cannot earn the trust and respect of others. Furthermore, we recognize that academic dishonesty detracts from the value of a Clemson degree. Therefore, we shall not tolerate lying, cheating, or stealing in any form." Student Disability Service Students with disabilities requesting accommodations should make an appointment with Dr. Margaret Camp ( ), Director of Disability Services, to discuss specific needs within the first month of classes. Students should present a Faculty Accommodation Letter from Student Disability Services when they meet with instructors. Accommodations are not retroactive and new Faculty Accommodation Letters must be presented each semester. In order to receive accommodations on an exam, the letter must be submitted to the instructor at least one week before the exam date.
