Objective:
Coverage of conventional and modern sources of energy for
power generation in electric power industry with the imposed economic,
regulatory, and environmental constraints. Wind, solar-photovoltaic,
micro-hydropower, biomass, and fuel cell systems. Integral laboratory.
Honor Code:
The
Institute values its reputation for moral leadership as much as its reputation for academic excellence, and expects all
persons associated with it to maintain the reputation. The institute's Code
of Ethics is simple and direct: Rose-Hulman expects its students to be responsible adults
and to behave at all times with honor and integrity. All students are
expected to abide by this code and to aid its enforcement by reporting
violations of it.
Attendance:
ECE 371
meets three times a week and you are expected to attend all lectures. Missing more than three lectures without a valid
excuse (doctor's note) results in failing the course.
Lab
meets once a week and missing any experiment also results in failing the
course. Students are expected to be present at the beginning of the lab
period and late arrival impacts the lab grade.
Course Work:
Homework
problems are assigned weekly with a firm
due date. Homework problems should be done according to the format
specified in the GUIDELINES AND
STANDARDS FOR WRITING ASSIGNMENTS. Each individual is responsible for
turning in his/her homework assignment. Homework problems may be discussed
with others; however, copying homework assignments is considered a
violation of the institution HONOR CODE. Homework problem-set solution is
placed in the library after the homework assignment is graded. Late homework assignments are not
accepted.
Two
one-hour exams and a final exam are scheduled for this course. Exams are
closed-book and closed-notes. You are not permitted to use homework
solutions during exam periods. You are allowed to have one sheet of 8.5 x
11 paper for formulas during each hourly exam.
Lab Work:
Four
experiments and four computer projects are scheduled for the ECE 371. Each
team is required to document each experiment. Lab reports are submitted to
the instructor at the end of each lab session.
