Students are encouraged to attend classes regularly and punctually. Habitual late-comers may be refused entrance as this tends to disrupt everyone’s concentration. Meeting with the instructor outside of office hours requires an appointment.

Course Requirement:  *Dates and weights are tentative and may be changed.

*Exams will only be given at the scheduled times unless prior arrangements have been made.

Typical Grading Scale: Final grades will be computed statistically by examining the averages of all students enrolled in the course. The highest possible grading curve is shown below:

Computer Usage:

Use of P-Spice and Matlab on a pentium-based windows platform to analyze, stimulate, and design the response of second order systems. Occasionally, we plan to send email to the students updating on immediate class announcements. If you normally use another e-mail account, you need to go to http://iam.memphis.edu to make sure that mail sent to your U of M account is automatically forwarded to the account you do use.

Design Project:

Students work in teams of 2 or 3.  They use components whose manufacturing statistics are known to design systems to given time and frequency domain characteristics.  Analysis and design tools on P-Spice and Matlab may be used.

ABET category content as estimated by coordinator:

Engineering Science:           2 credits or 67%

Engineering Design:             1 credit or 33%

Laboratory:

None

Communication:

Design project requires an oral presentation alongside the required technical report of the project.

Academic Honesty Statement:

All work in this course must be completed in a manner consistent with student code of conduct as described in the University of Memphis students’ handbook. Violation will result in appropriate disciplinary action.

Disabilities Statement:

Any students with disabilities who need accommodations are encouraged to speak with the instructor as soon as possible to make appropriate arrangements for those accommodations. Any student with permit from the students’ disability office will be provided reasonable accommodation. Pl. also see the following regarding policies on this: http://www.people.memphis.edu/~sds/g-ap.htm.

Class Attendance Policy:

Prompt class attendance is the policy and practice of the EECE department. The class instructor reserves the right to refuse entrance to latecomers.
