Course Description: This course is an introduction to electronic
circuits. It applies concepts from EE-201 to circuits with active devices
(transistors). The important concept of an equivalent circuit model is
stressed, and students are introduced to silicon microelectronics. In
addition to analysis of electronic circuits, the course stresses design,
solving open-ended problems and the use of computer tools in the design
process. Homework: Homework will be assigned weekly and is due on Friday
with your name and student ID number on each page. (If you prefer more
privacy, just write the first letter of your last name followed by the last
four digits of your student ID number.) Homework will be returned to you in
class a week later. Be sure to clearly identify the final answer in each
problem by
drawing a box around it. Include units in your answers and only the
appropriate number of significant digits. For SPICE homework problems, no
credit will be given for simply handing in the printed output. Instead,
submit the input file listing, a sketch of the circuit with the nodes
labeled, and the most relevant data and plots from the output. The final
answers should be clearly marked, and the output should be annotated with
comments. Grading: Homework, SPICE Designs (Required), and Quizzes 100 pts Exam 1 Tue Sept 22 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm EE 170 100 pts Exam 2 Mon Oct 26 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm PHYS 112 100 pts Exam 3 Thur Nov 19 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm PHYS 112 100 pts Final Exam Time and location TBD 150 pts Course Policies: ·
Cheating on exams or assignments will result in a grade of zero for
that exam or assignment. All cases of cheating will be reported to the Assistant
Head of the ·
All EE-255 course work must be done individually. I encourage you to
discuss and collaborate on ideas for doing the homework, but what you hand in
should be your own work. Do not read another student's solution or allow
yours to be read. ·
Homework solutions will be placed on the EE-255 web page. ·
There will be NO written make-up exams. If you cannot avoid missing
an exam (and have supporting documentation), contact me BEFORE the exam and
we’ll work something out (e.g. an oral exam). ·
I will assume that you have read the assignments BEFORE coming to
class (see the schedule posted on the website). ·
Come to class ON TIME. ·
I encourage you to use e-mail to communicate with me. You’ll
probably find it easier to get short questions answered by e-mail rather than
during office hours. ·
Constructive comments are always welcome on how the course can be
improved. Brief Course Outline
Ethics in EE-255 Along with the rest of the ECE faculty, I expect every
member of the Purdue community to practice honorable and ethical behavior
both inside and outside the classroom. Any actions that might unfairly
improve a student's score on homework, or examinations will be considered
cheating and will not be tolerated. Examples of cheating include (but are not
limited to): · Sharing results or other information during an examination. · Bringing forbidden material or devices to an examination. ·
Working on an exam before or after the official time allowed. ·
Requesting a regrade of answers or work that has been altered. ·
Submitting homework that is not your own work. ·
Reading another student's homework solution before is it due. ·
Allowing someone else to read your homework solution. Cheating on an assignment or examination will result in
a reduced score, a zero score, or a failing grade for the course - at my
discretion depending on how I judge the severity of the incident. All
occurrences of academic dishonesty will be reported to the Assistant Dean of
Students and copied to the ECE Assistant Head for Education. If there is any
question as to whether a given action might be construed as cheating, see me
before you engage in any such action. |
