The lectures involve the delivery of new material, discussion and example exercises on relevant material. There will be three lecture hours per week. 3 hours of laboratory will be held after the first half of the semester, during which students will have the opportunity to put in practice the theory delivered in class. Laboratory Work: Use of breadboards, electrical components and measuring equipment in order to put in practice the theory delivered in class relating to Voltage and Current measuring.. 1 ASSESMENT Final Exam: 60% Coursework: 40% COURSEWORK A Number of tests will be given during the semester. In addition, students will be expected to carry out at least one assignment and will also be assessed on the practical work during the laboratory session. MAIN TEXTBOOKS Hughes E, Smith I M, Hiley J, Brown K, Electrical and Electronic Technology, 9th Edition, Prentice Hall, 2005 Hambley AR, Electrical Engineering: Principles & Applications, Third Edition, Prentice-Hall, 2005 OTHER INFORMATION Mobile phones: All mobile phones must be switched off before entering the class. In case a mobile phone rings during a class session, the student will be asked to leave the lecture room. Class Attendance: Students are expected to attend classes regularly so that new material can be delivered to all students without delays, without having to repeat newly delivered material and without disturbing the smooth running of the course schedule. Attending classes assures that all students receive equal attention and everyone is up to date with the course. Office hours and humanitarian matters: Students are encouraged to visit their advisor or course instructor for any matter whether personal or academic. Instructors are here not only to teach in classrooms but also to advise students on any matters they need advise for or face difficulties with. Library: You are advised to visit regularly the library of the Institute. Do not hesitate to ask the librarian to inform you about the facilities offered by the library and how you will use them in a productive way. 2
