COURSE CONTENT

Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

Upon successful completion of this course the student will be able to:

1. Identify, add, subtract, multiply, and divide signed numbers, with

application to series aiding and series opposing batteries.

2. Identify, add, subtract, multiply, and divide algebraic

  expressions.

3. Identify and factor algebraic expressions commonly used with Ohm's law.

4. Identify factors in algebraic expressions.

5. Interpret metric notations with applications to Scientific and

  Engineering notation as commonly used in electronics.

6. Calculate linear first order equations, fractional and

  non-fractional.

7. Solve simultaneous equations with two or three unknowns.

Topics and Scope

  1.  Powers of ten, as related to electronics

 2.  Metric units, as applied to laboratory test equipment

 3.  Addition and subtraction of algebraic expressions

 4.  Multiplication and division - binomial and polynomial

 5.  Factoring

 6.  Equations, as related to Ohm's and Watt's Laws

 7.  Fractions

 8.  Fractional equations

 9.  Right angle trigonometry, as applied to measurement of sine wave

     voltages

10.  Angles, as applied to the measurement of phase angles between

     dissimilar voltages

11.  Simultaneous equations

Assignments:

1.  Skill exercises to apply power of 10 notation to test equipment and

application to possible laboratory testing of circuits.

2.  Problem solving: apply Ohm's Law to a fundamental series and parallel

resistive circuits; apply simultaneous equations necessary to determine

the intersection of voltage and current measurements.

3.  One-on-one or group meetings with instructor to review mathematics

   topics.

Methods of Evaluation/Basis of Grade.

Writing: Assessment tools that demonstrate writing skill and/or require students to select, organize and explain ideas in writing.		Writing 0 - 0%
None
This is a degree applicable course but assessment tools based on writing are not included because problem solving assessments are more appropriate for this course.
Problem solving: Assessment tools, other than exams, that demonstrate competence in computational or non-computational problem solving skills.		Problem Solving 30 - 35%
Homework problems
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams.		Skill Demonstrations 10 - 20%
Skills exercises.
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams.		Exams 30 - 35%
Problem solving exams.
Other: Includes any assessment tools that do not logically fit into the above categories.		Other Category 10 - 20%
One-on-one or group meetings with instructor.
