  1. Participate in classroom discussions which challenge their abilities to think creatively and visualize complex spatial and mathematical relationships to solve problems. Mathematics Outcome
  2. Work in teams to conduct laboratory experiments and also to solve special problem assignments. These activities are designed to foster interpersonal skills in teamwork and develop and enhance leadership skills, students' abilities to express ideas, and students' abilities to reach consensus solutions for the team through negotiation. Active Learning Strategy, Mathematics Outcome, Communication Outcome
  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, Mathematics 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, Mathematics Outcome, Technological 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. Social and Behavioral Science Outcome, Transitional Strategy
*Strategies and outcomes listed after instructional processes reference TBR’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.
IV. Expectations for Student Performance*:

V. Evaluation:
A. Testing Procedures: 80% of grade
Chapter Tests:    50% 
Homework and Quizzes  10%
Final Exam    20% 
B. Laboratory Expectations: 20% of grade
The laboratories for all Electrical Engineering Technology courses are an essential part of conveying the concepts to the student. The labs would closely follow the classes in content and in time of presentation so that the student is actually verifying these concepts to his or her self.  The student will be able to apply the theory learned in class.  The laboratory grade will be determined by a combination of performance within the lab and the quality and demonstrated comprehension of the lab report.  There will be at least twelve labs during the semester to go along with the classroom material. 
Performance in labs (subjective):  50% 
Lab Reports (neatness and content): 30% 
Laboratory Test:  20%

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. Academic and Classroom Misconduct
Academic misconduct committed either directly or indirectly by an individual or group is subject to disciplinary action. Prohibited activities include but are not limited to the following practices: Cheating, including but not limited to unauthorized assistance from material, people, or devices when taking a test, quiz, or examination; writing papers or reports; solving problems; or completing academic assignments. In addition to other possible disciplinary sanctions that may be imposed as a result of academic misconduct, the instructor has the authority to assign either (1) an F or zero for the assignment or (2) an F for the course.
C. Accommodations for Disabilities:
If you need accommodations because of a disability, if you have emergency medical
information to share, or if you need special arrangements in case the building must be
evacuated, please inform the instructor immediately (privately after class or in the instructor’s office).
To request accommodations, students must register with Services for Students with Disabilities Office located in J.L. Goins Administration Building, Room 127 or 131or by phone:  (865) 539-7153 or (865) 694-6751 Voice/TTD.
