Student Learning Outcomes

This course serves Computer Science Engineering students for the purpose of learning the fundamentals of electric circuit theory. At the completion of the course students will have gained the following knowledge and skills:

•           To understand and use Ohm's Law, the Passive Sign Convention and Kirchhoff's laws.

•           To understand the physical nature of the various electric circuit elements, including v-i relationships, energy and power.

•           To perform node voltage analysis and mesh current analysis on electric circuits, including operational amplifiers

•           To perform first-order transient analysis on R-L and R-C circuits.

•           To use the phasor domain to analyze ac circuits.

•           To analyze analog circuits for signal processing.

 

Americans with Disabilities Act

The University of Texas at Arlington is on record as being committed to both the spirit and letter of federal equal opportunity legislation; reference Public Law 93112 ¾ The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended. With the passage of new federal legislation entitled Americans with Disabilities Act ¾ (ADA), pursuant to section 504 of The Rehabilitation Act, there is renewed focus on providing this population with the same opportunities enjoyed by all citizens.

As a faculty member, I am required by law to provide "reasonable accommodation" to students with disabilities, so as not to discriminate on the basis of that disability. Student responsibility primarily rests with informing faculty at the beginning of the semester and in providing authorized documentation through designated administrative channels.

 

Academic Dishonesty

It is the philosophy of The University of Texas at Arlington that academic dishonesty is a completely unacceptable mode of conduct and will not be tolerated in any form. All persons involved in academic dishonesty will be disciplined in accordance with University regulations and procedures. Discipline may include suspension or expulsion from the University.

Scholastic dishonesty includes but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, collusion, the submission for credit of any work or materials that are attributable in whole or in part to another person, taking an examination for another person, any act designed to give unfair advantage to a student or the attempt to commit such acts. (Regents' Rules and Regulations, Part One, Chapter VI, Section 3, Subsection 3.2, Subdivision 3.22).
