COURSE INFORMATION

Objectives:

• To introduce the principles of circuit design using linear components,
• To reinforce the concepts of differential equations, linear algebra, and signals learned in previous courses
• To provide a background for further coursework.

Prerequisite: Physics II, Differential Equations (Co-Req), Fluency in Spoken English

Attendance: Students are responsible for all material covered in class, including changes in project schedules announced in class. The easiest way to do poorly in my class is to skip class or not pay attention while in class; conversely, paying attention to class material strongly correlates with higher grades. Further, I will not take up class time to review information that students have missed because of being excessively late. Prompt arrival to class is required.

Grading: Your course grade will be based on your performance on projects that include experimental mesaured data, three exams, potential homework and short quizes, and an optional final exam.

Academic Honesty: Although students are encouraged strongly to work together to learn the course material, all students are expected to complete projects (in the respective groups) individually, following all instructions. You may discuss project questions in large groups, but each group must independently perform and write-up the required work for each project.

Cheating on tests is strickly forbidden and any cases will be treated with the utmost seriousness. You should expect at least getting a 0 on any assignment that you are cheating. Any suspected cases of academic dishonesty will be reported to the Dean of Students for further action.

All conduct in this course will be governed by the Georgia Tech honor code. Additionally, it is expected that students will respect their peers and the instructor such that no one takes unfair advantage of anyone else associated with the course.

No Photography / Recording during Class: No cameras or other recording devices are allowed to be used in class for any reason other than what I have approved beforehand. I want to be careful for the range of students involved and not hinder those from participating. I will take pictures of all whiteboards and post them.
