Objective:
ECE 204 covers the following:
a. Inductors, capacitors, sinusoidal
sources, and sinusoidal responses
b. Complex numbers, impedances, and phasor
diagrams
c. KVL & KCL & simplifications in ac
circuits
d. Source Transformation, Thevenin & Norton Equivalnts,
Max. Power Transfer
e. Node voltage and mesh current methods for
ac circuit analysis
f. Instantaneous, average, reactive, complex
powers
g. Single-phase feeders - voltage
regulation, efficiency, and power factor correction
h. Balanced three-phase systems - Delta
& wye voltage sources and loads
i. Three-phase power measurements and
calculations
j. Mutual inductance & ideal and real transformers
Transformer equivalent
circuit - voltage regulation and efficiency calculations
Honor Code:
The
Institute values its reputation for moral leadership as much as its reputation for academic excellence, and expects all
persons associated with it to maintain the reputation. The institute's Code
of Ethics is simple and direct: Rose-Hulman expects its students to be responsible adults
and to behave at all times with honor and integrity. All students are expected
to abide by this code and to aid its enforcement by reporting violations of
it.
Attendance:
ECE 204 meets three times a week and
students are expected to attend every
lecture. Missing more than three
lectures without a valid excuse (i.e. doctor's note) results in failing the
course.
Lab
meets once a week and missing any experiment also results in failing the
course. Students are expected to be present at the beginning of the lab
period and late arrival impacts the lab grade.
Course Work:
Homework problems are assigned weekly
with a firm due date. Homework
problems should be done according to the format specified in the GUIDELINES AND STANDARDS FOR WRITING
ASSIGNMENTS. Each individual is responsible for turning in his/her
homework assignment. Homework problems may be discussed with others;
however, copying homework assignments is considered a violation of the
institution HONOR CODE. Homework problem-set solution is placed in the
library after the homework assignment is graded. Late homework assignments are not accepted.
Make-up exams will not be administered,
and missing an exam will result in a grade of zero for that exam.
Lab Work:
Nine
experiments and a lab test are scheduled for the ECE 204. Lab experiments are
performed by a team of two individuals. Each team is required to document
each experiment in a lab notebook.
