  1. Here is another Example Final Exam which includes a two-port and a Bode plot problem as requested. Here are the Solutions.
  2. Here is Formula Sheet for Final Exam that will be attached to the final.
  3. I will hold Review Session for the final on Monday, December 12 12:30-2:00pm in EEB 303.
  4. The Final Exam will be held Tuesday, December 13, 8:00-10:20am in EEB 125 (same room as lectures). The final exam is closed book, but with four sheets of notes. Calculators are OK. Here is an Example Final Exam to give you an idea what to expect. Note that I am likely to ask about complex power in some form. I will not ask you to make a Bode angle plot (as on Problem 4, but may ask for phase angle at any given frequency. Here are the Solutions.
  5. Solutions for Exam 2: Problem 1 Problem 2 Problem 3
  6. The third exam will be in class on Friday December 2 and covers through Homework 8 and Chapter 15 in text. The exam is closed book, but with three sheets of notes. Calculators are OK. Here is a Previous Exam 3 and Solutions to give you an idea what to expect. Note that the topics covered prior to 3rd exam in previous class may not align precisely with this year.
  7. Solutions for Exam 2: Problem 1 Problem 2 Problem 3
  8. The second exam will be in class on Wednesday November 9 and covers through Chapter 13 in text. The exam is closed book, but with two sheets of notes. Calculators are OK. Here is a Previous Exam 2 to give you an idea what to expect. Solutions are provided, but I would suggest that you first try to do the problems without looking at the solutions.
  9. Here is the Laplace Transform Table that will be attached to the Exam 2. You are welcome to add additional pairs to your own notes.
  10. Solutions for Exam 1: Problem 1 Problem 2 Problem 3
  11. The first exam will be in class on Wednesday October 19. The exam is closed book, but with a sheet of notes. Calculators are OK. Here is a Previous First Exam to give you an idea what to expect. Solutions are provided (including alternate solution to 3(a)), but I would suggest that you first try to do the problems without looking at the solutions.
  12. The text for the course is "Electric Circuits, Tenth Edition," by J. W. Nilsson and S. A. Riedel, Prentice Hall, 2015. If you choose to use an earlier version of text, you should be sure to check the 10th edition to ensure you are doing the correct problems. There may also be errors in earlier editions that are corrected in the 10th edition.
  13. College of Engineering Academic Misconduct Policy will be strictly enforced.
    • Homeworks: students are welcome to discuss homework with others, but each student must submit individual homework solution to be graded weekly.
    • Laboratory work and reports: students work on laboratory experiments in teams and also submit lab reports as teams. No individual laboratory report is required. The same score for each lab report is given to all students in each team.
    • Exams (quizzes, final, and laboratory exam): absolutely no cooperation or discussion is permitted. Each student works on an exam individually.
  14. Grading Policy Information as given on the first day of class is posted.
  15. Discussion sections will meet the first week to review material from EE215 and set up lab teams. Sections AA and AC, which don't have discussion sections this week, will meet for lab (for just an hour or so) in order to set up lab groups. Labs for other sections will start the week of Oct. 3.
  16. For the lab, each group needs to purchase at least 2 scope probes, 1 set of function generator leads, one lab kit and one breadboard.
