Software: MATLAB/SIMULINKs are installed on the Lyles College of Engineering's computer network. The student edition of MATLAB/SIMULINK is available at the bookstore or on the internet for your personal copy. The software is extremely flexible, and can be used in many courses for solving differential equations, signal processing, and system modeling. MATLAB/SIMULINK can be purchased directly from MathWorks at http://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab/pricing_licensing.html?tab=student#student_use

Also Powersim will be used extensively during the semester. Free demo download will be available at : http://powersimtech.com/

Grading Grading Components: The course will consist of the following grading components:

1 Homework, Computer Simulations: 300pts (For a graduate student, an individual project

will be assigned)

2.Project: 200 pts

3.Quizzes : 200pts

4.Exams: Mid-term:200pts, and Final: 300pts All quizzes, homework, projects, and exams are mandatory. Failure to take the final exam will result in an F in the course, irrespective of whether or not you currently have a passing grade. Please note that I do not

3

anticipate scheduling any make-up exams. If you realize that you will miss an exam as a result of a serious illness or another emergency, I must be informed as quickly as possible After your homework, or quiz or exam is initially handed back, you have a week to challenge for the grading. Besides it is not my responsibility of keeping your works after this period. Up to 2 wks l keep your work after returned and then it will be discarded. To help facilitate attendance during the semester, unannounced quizzes may be given, but biweekly basis quizzes will be expected. The total points are divided by twelve. (In case of not assigning the project, it will be announced in the middle of the semester). A(90-100), B(80-89), C(70-79),D(60-69), and F (0-59) Marks Description Points A High competence B Competence C Minimum competence D Limited or incomplete competence F Inadequate competence for credit

Study Expectations: Since this is a 3-unit class, you are expected to study an average of 6 hours outside of class each week. Some students may require more study time outside of class, and others less.

Homework/ Computer Simulation Reports: Homework and/or Computer Simulation Reports will be assigned periodically throughout the semester and are intended to help you learn the material and provide insight into the subject matter. Homework will generally be collected a week after it is assigned, and will typically involve the problems each chapter we cover. All due dates will be announced in the class or via the course blackboard website, please attend the class all the times, and check your email regularly for announcements regarding this course Sloppy or unreadable homework is unacceptable, and may result in a 0%. Furthermore, cheating (such as solutions being copied from the web or another source) will also receive a 0%, and may result in disciplinary action and significantly impact your grade. The front page of each assignment must contain the following statement, signed and dated by yourself:

“I have done my own work and have neither given nor received

unauthorized assistance on this work.” If you work in a group in case of project, list the students you worked with on the front page of the assignment as well. If your homework is required to be a hardcopy, your work is expected to be as neat as possible. If not, you will lose the most of the homework credit. Also if more than one page is required for the homework, the pages must be stapled. If not, there is a 5 point penalty. No late homework will be accepted.

Examinations: There is one midterm scheduled (subject to change), in addition to a final exam. The midterm will be based upon reading material, lecture presentations, class discussions, homework, and computer simulations. The midterm will cover all material from the beginning of class up to the exam. The final will be comprehensive. If you cheat on homework (or are otherwise ill prepared to take an exam),you will most likely fail the exam, as well as the course.

Note: I reserve the right to ask you to move to another chair at any time during an exam.

Professionalism: In preparation for the business world, students should refrain from unprofessional behavior. Students should act respectfully to other students as well as the professor. If a student engages in disruptive behavior, the student will be dismissed from class. Examples of unprofessional (disruptive) behavior include but are not limited to: • Surfing the Internet

• Texting during class • Reading a book, newspaper, or even notes for another course • Private conversations • Arriving to class late or leaving class early • Listening to your I-pod

Also Smoking, eating and drinking are strictly prohibited inside the classroom.

Personal responsibility: You are personally responsible for all information disseminated during the lectures. Therefore, if you miss a lecture, it is your responsibility to obtain all information presented during that lecture.

E-Mail: It is expected that additional announcements will have to be made from time to time outside the classroom. Therefore, each student is expected to check their e-mail on a regular basis to ensure that they receive any communication from myself.

Audio/Video Recording: You may not record any of the lectures using either audio and/or video without prior consent from the Instructor.

Cheating and Plagiarism: "Cheating is the actual or attempted practice of fraudulent or deceptive acts for the purpose of improving one's grade or obtaining course credit; such acts also include assisting another student to do so. Typically, such acts occur in relation to examinations. However, it is the intent of this definition that the term 'cheating' not be limited to examination situations only, but that it include any and all actions by a student that are intended to gain an unearned academic advantage by fraudulent or deceptive means. Plagiarism is a specific form of cheating which consists of the misuse of the published and/or unpublished works of others by misrepresenting the material (i.e., their intellectual property) so used as one's own work." Penalties for cheating and plagiarism range from a 0 or F on a particular assignment, through an F for the course, to expulsion from the university. For more information on the University's policy regarding cheating and plagiarism, refer to the Class Schedule (Legal Notices on Cheating and Plagiarism) or the University Catalog (Policies and Regulations).
