EET 213W – Fundamentals of Electrical Machines Using Writing Skills
Standard Course Outline (Updated – Fall 2005)
Catalog Description:
213W: Fundamentals of Electrical Machines Using Writing Skills
(5 credits). AC and DC machinery principles and applications; introduction to magnetic circuits,
transformers, and electrical machines, including laboratory applications. Prerequisites: Engl
015, EET114.
Goals of the Course:
Fundamentals of Electrical Machines Using Writing Skills is a required course for
sophomore-level students in the Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) associate degree
program. The purpose of the course is to teach principles of AC and DC motors and generators,
and AC transformers and how they work. Basic concepts of electromagnetic circuits as they
relate to voltages, currents, and physical forces induced in conductors are covered, including
application to practical problems of machine design. Practical analytical models for most types
of motors, generators, and transformers commonly used in industry are developed, and the
models are used to analyze power requirements, power capability, efficiency, operating
characteristics, control requirements, and electrical demands of these machines. EET 213W is
also a "writing-intensive" course that teaches students to prepare formal, written technical
documents. This goal is accomplished through extensive writing exercises performed in the
context of laboratory exercises that accompany the course.

Course grading policies are left to the discretion of the individual instructor with the stipulation
that at least 25% of the course grade must be determined from the writing component (see
following item).
Communication Skills: The "W" designation on this course means that writing assignments must be a fundamental part
of the course. This goal is most easily met by requiring lab reports to be formal, written reports.
The reports must follow an accepted technical writing style and must be concise, technically
correct, and grammatically sound. Reports must be prepared using a word processor and printed
in an accepted professional format. As required by the University "W" designation, (1) grading
of written exercises will give comparable weight to grammatical quality and technical merit, and
(2) grades on written material will represent at least 25% of the class grade.
The "W" designation also requires that this course teach students good oral communication
skills. Therefore, the course also requires students to prepare and present oral reports of their
technical work. Reports are graded, and these grades are included in the overall class grade.

Rev 2
Outcomes 1 & 3: Traditional exams and out-of-class problem assignments covering
lecture materials generally can be used to assess these outcomes.
Outcomes 5, 6 & 11: Formal laboratory reports and/or comprehensive research-based
projects, created using any of a variety of typical professional formats (research/test
report, business letter, technical memo, lab notebook, etc.), accompanied by oral
presentation of results, are effective methods of demonstrating achievement of this
outcome.
Outcome 7: Team-based assignments (viz. in lab exercises) in which success (i.e.,
team-based rather than individually-based grades) requires are effective student
interaction and effective work-load sharing can be useful for assessing success with
respect to this outcome.
