ENG 1450 Introduction to Electrical and Computer Engineering Course Outline Fall Term 2011 and Winter Term

m 2012
Course Objectives This course introduces the fundamentals of electrical and computer engineering, including circuit analysis and selected topics on digital logic and electric motors. A number of standard electrical devices and components are presented in this course. The laboratory sessions involve the use of and familiarization with basic equipment and methods used in the workplace. Prerequisites A minimum grade of 60% in pre-calculus Mathematics 40S, or the former Mathematics 40S, Physics 40S, and Chemistry 40S. Course Content The following topics will be covered: Fundamentals of electric circuits Kirchhoffs laws, voltage and current division, independent and dependent sources Capacitors and inductors Sinusoidal AC circuits Introduction to operational amplifiers, semiconductor devices, optical devices, electric motors Boolean logic, logic gates, combinational logic Accreditation Units Mathematics: 0 Natural Science: 0 Complementary Studies: 0 Engineering Science: 100% Engineering Design: 0 Web Page http://courses.ece.umanitoba.ca/ENG1450 Textbook C. Paul and F. Vahid, Selected Chapters from Paul: Fundamentals of Electric Circuit Analysis and Vahid: Digital Design, University of Manitoba, ENG 1450. John Wiley & Sons, 2011. Evaluation Details Students must receive a minimum of 50% on the final examination in order to be eligible to receive a passing grade. Students who are unable to write the mid-term exam for medical (or other acceptable) reasons will have their final examination weighted to include the mid-term weighting. Students must complete all the laboratories in order to be eligible to receive a passing grade. Mid-Term(s) Fall term: Monday, October 31, 2011, 6-7:00pm Winter term: Monday, March 5, 2012, 6-7:00pm

Requirements/Regulations Attendance at lectures and laboratories is essential for successful completion of this course. Students must satisfy each evaluation component in the course to receive a final grade. It is the responsibility of each student to contact the instructor in a timely manner if he or she is uncertain about his or her standing in the course and about his or her potential for receiving a failing grade. Students should also familiarize themselves with Sections 4 and 6 of the Regulations dealing with incomplete term work, deferred examinations, attendance and withdrawal. No programmable devices or systems (such as calculators, PDAs, iPods, iPads, cell phones, wireless communication or data storage devices) are allowed in examinations unless approved by the course instructor. Academic Integrity Students are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the highest ethical standards of the Profession of Engineering and evince academic integrity in all their pursuits and activities at the university. As such, in accordance with the General Academic Regulations and Requirements of the University of Manitoba, Section 7.1, students are reminded that plagiarism or any other form of cheating in examinations, assignments, laboratory reports or term tests is subject to serious academic penalty (e.g. suspension or expulsion from the faculty or university). A student found guilty of contributing to cheating in examinations or term assignments is also subject to serious academic penalty.
