Calculator
You will need a calculator for this class. It should be able perform arithmetic operations on complex
numbers, including conversion form polar to rectangular form, and calculate sine and cosine functions in
degrees and radians. The TI-89 is an example of the type of calculator that you will need for this class.
The TI-83/84 will also work, but requires more keystrokes than the TI-89.
Course web page
The course web page is located at http://www2.nau.edu/~sh295/EE188. Homework assignments and practice
problems will be listed on the course web page. The Vista web page will also contain this information, but the
course webpage will be updated first.
Course Description:
Introduces electrical engineering including DC and AC circuit analysis, operational amplifiers, and AC power.
Course Objectives
The student is able to:
1. Understand fundamental electrical circuit concepts of voltage, charge, current, power and energy and
their interrelationships.
2. Solve problems associated with dc and ac linear circuits that include independent and dependent sources,
resistors, capacitors, inductors, and operational amplifiers.
3. Use mathematical analysis to solve real and complex simultaneous equations.
4. Have an appreciation for electrical engineering and the impact on one’s personal and professional lives.

Homework
Assignments will be given on a near-weekly basis, generally due two class periods hence. The homework
problems will be based on the class lectures and the textbook materials. The assignments will be posted on the
course website and in Vista and will be problems from the book, handouts or problems posted in WebWorks.
Late homework will not be accepted. Your lowest homework score will be dropped.
The point values of each homework assignment may vary. However, each homework will be calculated as a
percentage of points possible on that assignment when determining total homework points.
The total points on the homework will be worth 15% of your grade
The login for the WebWorks site is your NAU ID, the initial password is the last five digits of your student ID
number. You may change the password if you want.

Quizzes
Short quizzes will be occasionally be given in class covering previous material. You will be given 10-15 minutes
for the quiz. The quiz grades will be worth a total of 10% of the final grade. There will be no makeup quizzes.
Attendance & Class Participation
Students are expected to attend classes. Please be on time - quizzes may be given at the beginning of class
and no extra time will be allowed for tardy students
An excused absence will be given to students with a documented excuse. Please notify me ahead of time if you
will be missing a class.
Makeup homework/exams will be given only for excused absences.
Academic Integrity
Cheating - claiming another student's work as your own or permitting another student to claim your work.
Plagiarism - claiming another person's writing as your own.
Students are encouraged to work together to solve the homework problems and to study for the exams. Working
together does not mean “copying” another person’s work.
Students who are caught cheating will be disciplined according to the NAU Academic Policy.
Policy Statements
These NAU policies will be followed in this class. You may obtain a copy of these policies from
http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/academicadmin/policy1.html
SAFE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW BOARD
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
ACADEMIC CONTACT HOUR POLICY
The Arizona Board of Regents Academic Contact Hour Policy (ABOR Handbook, 2-206, Academic
Credit) states: “an hour of work is the equivalent of 50 minutes of class time…at least 15 contact hours of
2
recitation, lecture, discussion, testing or evaluation, seminar, or colloquium as well as a minimum of 30 hours of
student homework is required for each unit of credit.”
The reasonable interpretation of this policy is that for every credit hour, a student should expect, on average, to
do a minimum of two additional hours of work per week; e.g., preparation, homework, studying.
CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT
Membership in the academic community places a special obligation on all members to preserve an
atmosphere conducive to a safe and positive learning environment. Part of that obligation implies the
responsibility of each member of the NAU community to maintain an environment in which the behavior of any
individual is not disruptive.
It is the responsibility of each student to behave in a manner which does not interrupt or disrupt the
delivery of education by faculty members or receipt of education by students, within or outside the classroom.
The determination of whether such interruption or disruption has occurred has to be made by the faculty member
at the time the behavior occurs. It becomes the responsibility of the individual faculty member to maintain and
enforce the standards of behavior acceptable to preserving an atmosphere for teaching and learning in accordance
with University regulations and the course syllabus.
At a minimum, students will be warned if their behavior is evaluated by the faculty member as
disruptive. Serious disruptions, as determined by the faculty member, may result in immediate removal of the
student from the instructional environment. Significant and/or continued violations may result in an
administrative withdrawal from the class. Additional responses by the faculty member to disruptive behavior
may include a range of actions from discussing the disruptive behavior with the student to referral to the
appropriate academic unit and/or the Office of Student Life for administrative review, with a view to implement
corrective action up to and including suspension or expulsion.
PROFESSIONAL ETHICS AND CODE OF CONDUCT
Exceptionally high standards of honor and integrity are fundamental and essential to the study and
practice of engineering. Academic preparation for the profession must be conducted in an atmosphere which
fosters these values.
In addition, to compliance with the Student Code of Conduct and Policy that applies to all students at
NAU, engineering students are expected to conduct themselves professionally. Violation of the National Society
of Professional Engineers (NSPE) Code of Ethics found at http://www.nspe.org/ethics/eh1-code.asp or the
Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct at
http://www.acm.org/constitution/code.html may lead to dismissal from the College’s academic programs. Copies
of these codes are also available in the Office of the Dean.
Violations of any of these codes will be handled as detailed in the publications listed above, and will be
documented in the student’s advisement file.
Faculty members may ask students to affirm in writing that they have neither given nor received
unauthorized aid on an examination or assignment.
COURSE LECTURE SCHEDULE
The following course lecture schedule is only a suggestion; as needed, more time may be spent on certain
topics and less on other topics. Note that the scheduled exam times (other than the final exam time) are also
tentative. At the instructor’s discretion, material outside the book may also be presented. You are responsible
for all material presented during lecture.
