EE101 Electrical Engineering Concept II

Homework due is specified each time. Late homework is penalized by 20% each day of full points per each homework. This policy for late submission is strict in EE101 for everybody with no exception. Although it is not allowed to copy homework each other, it is preferable to discuss together about the problem and to help each other.

Usually the homework questions and answers of each textbook chapter are covered later during the class. This short sessions developed by volunteers are interactive format and counted/graded for a quiz portion.

In Chapter Exercise Solutions and answers for selected end-of-chapter problems are available a .zip file

A summary of key equations is available as a .zip file

01/16/07 PREFACE
Welcome to EE101 Digital Control with Embedded Systems.
This is the all resources on EE101 using Blog website, relatively new here UVM. All the information including Homework, Lab Reports, and Lecture Notes will be posted in this website. The instructor will not provide hard copies in general, but everything will post in this website. At this trail class, the submission is still required using hard paper copies. All students will be responsible for all assignments and materials covered in the class. Any new issues for you should be clarified before any problems happen to you. So please keep watching this website, and REFLESH or RELOAD using your webbrowser. Please feel free to ask your questions by emailing the instructor ymotai@uvm.edu

Quizzes are provided whenever the instructor thinks appropriate during the class. Because of resources, we do not grade, but check whether the effort was shown or not. If the quiz is handed and shown reasonable effort, the score is accumulated in full.

Lab Report due is one week (otherwise the instructor suggested), handed in Graduate Teaching Assistant in the beginning of each new session. Late reports will be penalized by 20% each day of full points per each lab report (This is strict policy during the entire semester for everybody). Although it is not allowed to copy homework each other, it is preferable to discuss together about the problem and to help each other. At most 7 Lab sessions in the semester are scheduled, following 3 project-oriented lab sequences. Please follow instructions of the graduate teaching assistants. The lab assignments and time slots are shown below. They will grade and answer all your questions.
