COURSE OBJECTIVES: The objective of this course is to provide the fundamentals of electricity and electronics. This includes electrical quantities, meters, symbols, components, circuits and drawings. Calculation and measurement of voltage, current, resistance, and power are included. Also covered will be the operation of AC motors, lighting, heating, industrial solid-state devices and controls, single-phase and three-phase principles and other applications of electricity. TESTS AND QUIZZES: Tests will cover reading assignments, in-class handouts, lectures, lab work, worksheets and reading assigned from your textbook. There will be nine quizzes, Digital meter certification, one mid-term and one final exam. Test dates are listed in attached list of weekly assignments. Tests that are not taken will be recorded as a zero (0). ALL QUIZZES AND TEST INCLUDING MID-TERM AND FINAL EXAM ARE OPEN BOOK AND OPEN NOTES! Muddiest Moment (Optional Extra Credit): "What was the muddiest moment? What was difficult to understand?" Students may submit a response at the end of a class (or series of classes). The entries submitted (either in electronic or written form) will be discussed the following week. Students are welcome to submit unlimited entries but they will only to earn up to 5 extra credit quiz. LABS: You will have 8 required lab assignments to complete including the activities assigned in the DMM Workbook. Labs will cover material from the worksheets, textbook, and lecture. The lab work will give you hands-on experience in electricity and electronics. Labs must be completed the week they are assigned and must be turned in the following week. Labs 2, 3, 6, 7 and 8 will require an additional lab report as they will be used in the portfolio. Lab Portfolio: Students are required to create a portfolio of the practical electrical work completed in the Automated System program. They are encouraged to add to the portfolio as they continue their electrical career/courses at JJC. The EEAS 101 Portfolio will include a resume, lab reports for labs 2, 3, 6, 7 and 8. This lab will be a summary of your electrical experience as it relates to EEAS 101. A resume workshop will be included in the lectures. LAB GRADING: You will be graded on each of the following per lab: 1. COMPLETING lab, instructor verification (40% of total lab points) 2. NEATNESS of the drawings (30% of total lab points). Neatness means that your drawings will be as clean and well drawn as you can make them. However, any required drawing that is not included cannot be graded and points will not be given for missed work. Neatness also means that all labs are properly organized and presented, and all lines are straight, etc. See Chapter 7 and the Appendix for proper symbols. 3. Technical ACCURACY of the drawing and information must be provided (30% of total lab points). Technical accuracy means that your drawings will include the correct symbols, colors (when used), and all technical information that is required to show the operation of the circuit (voltages, relay pin numbers, terminal post numbers, etc.) Technical accuracy also means that you have included all circuits and information required.

CLASS ASSIGNMENTS: This class is divided into several assignments. Each assignment will cover several related units. After completing each of the assignments, you will have an understanding of one of the many areas in the electrical and electronic field. Each of the assignments is based on some chapter sections and several worksheets from the workbook. All assigned worksheets will be graded, and must be turned in on time. Worksheets not completed on time will be recorded as a zero (0). The textbook and worksheets will provide you with many important fundamentals, but will not provide you with all the required material. Additional material, such as using test equipment and connecting equipment, will be given in lecture and lab. For this reason, attendance is VERY important. In addition to attending class, you must allow time for homework and drawing your labs. EEAS 101 Reading homework will take about 6 hours per week. Worksheets will take about 6 hours per week, preparing for and drawing up your labs will take about 1 hour per week. Allow yourself time and USE it. WEEKLY ASSIGNMENTS 1. Reading assignments are given each week. 2. We are going to start with residential circuits. Residential circuits are a good point to start connecting labs, and you will be able to recognize the circuits better. As we move through EEAS 101, we will be covering several hands-on type chapters at the same time we are covering theory type chapters. This will allow you to get as much hands-on laboratory work as possible. In general, the theory type chapters are in the front part of the book and the hands-on type chapters are in the back part of the book. If you follow the weekly assignments, you will learn both the fundamental principles and how to connect circuits. 3. ALWAYS do the worksheets on a separate sheet of paper first. Bring this sheet of paper to class and ASK QUESTIONS! Then complete the weekly assigned worksheets that will be turned in. NOTE: You are not expected to complete every worksheet on your own (by using only the textbook); some worksheets will have to be gone over in class. It is critical that you ASK QUESTIONS!! 4. In the electrical/electronic fields, troubleshooting is very important. To troubleshoot, a meter must be used. As a part of EEAS 101, you will learn how to use a digital multimeter (DMM). ALWAYS bring your Digital Multimeter Principles book with you when you come to class. GRADING: All worksheets, quizzes, labs, and tests will be graded. You will be given the amount of points you received and the amount of possible points on all graded work. Your grade will be determined using the weighted scale method. Following is the final letter grade that will be given: Homework = 15 % A=92%-100% Quizzes (9) = 15 % B=84%-91% Labs = 10 % C=76%-83% Portfolio = 5% D=68%-75% DMM Certification = 5% F= 68% Midterm exam = 15 % Midterm Hands-on= 10 % Final exam = 15 % Final Hands-on = 10 % Page 3 of 5
Computer Use: Students are required to abide by the posted rules for computer use posted in the front of this classroom and in the Student Handbook. Web surfing during the class lecture is prohibited. Cell Phones/Pagers: Please turn off all cell phones/pagers when in class or put them on vibrate. If you phone needs to be answered, please step out into the hall to do so. Special Accommodations: Students with a documented disability, including a learning disability, who would like to discuss accommodations such as testing accommodations or taping my class lectures, should contact your instructor for an appointment during the first two weeks of the semester. At the appointment we can discuss your needs and potential accommodations. The EEAS Program relies on Student Accommodations and Resources to verify the need for accommodations. Sexual Harassment: Joliet Junior College has a strong policy prohibiting sexual harassment.
