Course Objectives

• Krause P.C. and Wasynczuk O., Electromechanical Motion Devices, McGraw-Hill 1989.

• Nasar S.A., Electric Machines and Power Systems, Vol. 1,McGraw-Hill 1995.
• Wildi T., Electrical Machines, Drives and Power Systems, 3^rd Ed. Prentice-Hall, 1997.
• The MathWorks Inc., The Student Edition of MATLAB, User's Guide, Prentice Hall.

• Besides the regular personal homework there may be a group project. The class will be divided into groups of no more than 3 students. Students must pick their group partners by the second week of classes. Students who do not form groups by then will be arbitrarily assigned to groups formed by the instructor.
• All assignments are due in class on the date and time specified. No late homework will be accepted.
• For your homework use one side of the page and staple all pages together before class. Do not use ripped-out sheets from spiral notebooks. Failure to do show will result in a reduced grade. Illegible assignments will not be graded.

• Make up tests may be arranged only for students who miss a scheduled test due to severe illness. The instructor may consider other extreme circumstances. Travel due to job interviews is not an acceptable excuse. In either case, no student will be given a make-up exam unless the instructor is notified of the absence before the test. Notification must be made by calling the instructor. Failure to follow this procedure will result in a grade of 0. Students that qualify for a make-up test must present a written petition together with supporting evidence.
• You will have one week after the day a graded exam or homework is returned in class to make any claims regarding your grade. No claims will be considered after that period.
• It is the responsibility of the student to attend to all lectures and arrive on time.

• Student performance will be evaluated on the basis of weekly homework, group projects, two written tests and one final exam. All this work is to be conducted with academic integrity keeping with the Academic Honor Code.
• Grading Scale: A: 100-85, B: 84-70, C: 69-55, D: 54-40, F: 39-0.

Excerpts from Florida A&M University: General Catalog 1993-95

Registration:

A student is not enrolled or registered until all necessary fees are paid and validated by the office of student accounts. (pg. 24).

No student will receive credit for any courses for which the student is not properly registered. (pg. 25).

Class Attendance Regulations:

Students are responsible for all assignments, quizzes, and examinations at the time they are due and may not use their absence from class as a plea for extensions of time to complete assignments or for permission to take make-up examinations or quizzes. Absence from class for cause: (a) participation in recognized university activities, (b) personal illness properly certified, or (c) emergencies caused by circumstances over which the student has no immediate control will be excused by the dean or director of the unit in which the student is enrolled. (pg. 26).

Class attendance is compulsory for all students. A student will be permitted one unexcused absence per credit hour of the course he or she is attending. A student exceeding the number of unexcused absences will be dropped from the course and assigned the grade "F". (pg. 26)

Class Attendance Regulations:

Students are expected to attend all of their scheduled University classes. The University reserves the right to deal at any time with individual cases of non-attendance. The effect of absences upon grades is determined by the instructor. A student reported for excessive absence in any course may be required by the academic dean to drop the course with the grade of "F". (pg. 67).

Registration:

Registration is not complete or official until all financial obligations are satisfied (pg. 33).

Students will receive credit only for those courses in which they are properly registered. (pg. 43).
