| 3. | Use electronic test equipment to test electrical circuits constructed from schematics in the laboratory and acquire data. Use computers with applications software to simulate, analyze, and predict the behavior of electrical circuits. Compare expected responses to experimental responses of electrical circuits. Use the Internet for special assignments such as locating data sheets on electronic components. Use computers with word processing software to prepare reports. Technological Literacy Outcome, Information Literacy Outcome, Numerical Literacy Outcome | ||||||||
| 4. | Prepare reports on laboratory experiments which include methodology, mathematical analyses of electrical circuit models, a comprehensive comparison of calculated results with experimental results, and conclusions. Communication Outcome, Numerical Literacy Outcome | ||||||||
| 5. | Discuss the importance of personal qualities such as personal responsibility, time management principles, self?esteem, sociability, self?management, integrity and honesty in school and in the workplace, and dynamics of change in the workplace. Personal Development Outcome, Cultural Diversity and social Adaptation Outcome, Transitional Strategy | ||||||||
| *Strategies and outcomes listed after instructional processes reference Pellissippi State’s goals for strengthening general education knowledge and skills, connecting coursework to experiences beyond the classroom, and encouraging students to take active and responsible roles in the educational process. | |||||||||

| V. Evaluation: | |||||||||
| A. Testing Procedures: 80% of grade | |||||||||
| The evaluation
in the classroom will be determined by a combination of chapter tests,
homework, a final exam and laboratory activities. The percentage
that each of these factors count and the frequency of tests and homework
is left to the discretion of the instructor, but the following is offered
as a guide:
Chapter Tests: 40% Homework: 10% Quizzes: 10% Final Exam: 20% |
|||||||||
| B. Laboratory Expectations: 20% of grade | |||||||||
| The laboratory
portion of the grade will be determined by a combination of performance
within the lab and the quality of demonstrated comprehension of the lab
report. A lab test and lab project may also be included. There
will be at least twelve labs during the semester to go along with the classroom
material:
1. Number Systems and the Microprocessor Trainer 2. Basic Logic Gates 3. Logic Probe, also Boolean Simplification 4. BCD to Seven Segment Logic, Karnough Maps (K Maps) 5. Continue Logic Probe, also BCD to Seven Segment Logic, converting to NAND and using Negative Logic 6. Programming a GAL to operate the logic for segment a, and again for segment b, without using simplification 7. Multiplexing 8. Multiplexing and De-Multiplexing 9. 555 Timer 10.

| VI. Policies: | |||||||||
| A. Attendance Policy: | |||||||||
| Pellissippi
State Technical Community College expects students to attend all scheduled
instructional activities. As a minimum, students in all courses must
be present for at least 75 percent of their scheduled class and laboratory
meetings in order to receive credit for the course (Pellissippi State Catalog).
Individual departments/programs/disciplines, with the approval of the vice
president of Academic and Student Affairs, may have requirements that are
more stringent.
Attendance is required to all lab sessions unless excused by the instructor. Students missing more than four unexcused sessions will receive an "F" and no credit will be received. Students tardy past half an hour will be considered absent. |
|||||||||
| B. Other Policies: | |||||||||
| The student is encouraged to read the regulations for student conduct in the PSTCC Catalog and Handbook | |||||||||
