(Updated 6 December 2021)
(6 Dec 2021) If you find it useful, here is Exam 2 from last
year. Keep in mind that it was a 4-day take-home, so it's not
really like what I would expect students to do this year. I also
found a matlab publish file with some solutions.
(14 Nov 2021) There is an error in the grading of Problem 4.63
Part A. Just ask for the answer and the computer will deduct 9
points. Send me an email and I will add you to the list of people
having the problem and after Wednesday I will manually correct your
grade.

(25 Oct 2021) Earlier solutions to Quiz 4 were for the wrong
quiz. Corrected solutions are now posted.
(13 Oct 2021) Quiz 4 Question is posted above. Complete this at
home, bring it to class Monday, and it will be graded as a quiz.
(22 Sep 2021)
Here is an update on the expectations for the lab, which will
hopefully explain exactly what is expected. There is some different
information in the lab manual and possibly some different
information given out in class. All three instructors have agreed
to the following.
Some of the numbered labs can be done in one week and some take
longer. We meet on the schedule shown below.
- Lab 1, Week starting 20 Sep
- Lab 2, Week starting 27 Sep
- continued Week Starting 4 Oct
- Lab 3, Week Starting 13 Oct
- Lab 4, Week Starting 18 Oct
- Lab 5, Week starting 25 Oct
- continued Weeks starting 1,9, and 15 Oct
- Lab 6, Week Starting 29 Nov
Before each numbered lab, complete the prelab questions in your notebook.
TAs will grade the prelabs during the lab time. For labs that last
longer than one week, the prelab is to be done before the first week
of that numbered lab only.
At the lab, record the experiment details in your notebook.
After each numbered lab, complete a "Lab Reflection" (one for each
student), and submit on Canvas to the TAs by the end of the day a week from the
end of the lab. For example, if the last session of the numbered lab
is a Tuesday, the reflections are due at the end of the following
Tuesday. There is one reflection due for each numbered lab, which
means there is not one due every week.
TAs will grade these "reflections"
At the end of the last lab, submit your notebook to the TAs.
TAs will grade the notebooks.
Lab reflections should follow the following format...
Lab Reflection Format
Reflections need to be submitted on Canvas one week after the session in
which the lab work is finished. If you are not finished with the lab
work, it is your responsibility to finish the work during any of the
laboratory "office hours" during the week. Every lab report should
include:
- 1. A brief Introduction explaining what the experiment is about and/or why we are doing it in the context of the class (not a procedure) and;
- 2. Answers to all all numbered boldface questions and the data and or calculations to back up those answers. (For example, a table of voltage measurements, or an oscilloscope trace, or a screen grab of a MATLAB figure or a Bode plot) and;
- 3. A Conclusion describing what learned (again, not a procedure).
Typically the introduction and conclusion are each a short paragraph
(1-3 sentences). Please keep (for your sake and ours!) the lab
reports as brief as possible consistent with being complete. Late Lab
reports will be accepted with a 10% penalty up to one day late, and
not at all after that.
(15 Sep 2021) Quiz 1 solutions are posted above.
(8 Sep 2021) Here is the link to the instructions for the
Mastering Engineering homework
site.

(27 Aug 2021) Welcome! This is the course website for EECE2210.
Among other things you'll find for now last year's lecture notes. I
will be updating lecture notes and some other materials throughout the
semester. Many students find it useful to download the week's notes
before coming to class. Wait until very close to the start of the
week and check the date on the notes to make sure it's current.
In this space I'll also post announcements about the course,
possibly homework hints and other information that you will need. If
you have any questions, please contact me.
Material that cannot be posted on an open site (eg. homework
assignments, recordings of lectures) will be available on the Canvas
site. There will also be links there to the material posted here,
so you can do everything from Canvas and never look here, or
you can look here for announcements, copies of slides, etc. Do
whichever you find easier.
When you purchase the textbook please be sure to include
the Mastering Engineering program, as we will use it for homework
and possibly more.
I look forward to seeing you in the fall.
ABOUT THE BACKGROUND: My favorite winter passtime is
skiing. I put this background together from a detail of a photograph
taken at Park City, in 2003. There are four copies in different
orientations so that the tracks (and more importantly, the brightness
levels) line up as the pattern repeats.
