Course Description: AC and DC machinery principles and applications; introduction to magnetic circuits, transformers, and electrical machines including laboratory applications.EET213W isalso a "writing-intensive" course that teaches students to prepare formal, written technical documents and presentations. This goal is accomplished through extensive writing exercises performed in the context of laboratory exercises and assignments that accompany the course.

Prerequisites: EET114, EET118 and English 015 - Satisfactory completion of basic circuits courses including AC circuit concept. Ability to use a computer to prepare written reports and to perform basicdata reduction, graphing and engineering presentations. Basic understanding of algebra, trigonometry, complex numbers and phasors.

Academic Integrity: All students are expected to act with civility, personal integrity; respect other students’ dignity, rights and property; and help create and maintain an environment in which all can succeed through the fruits of their own efforts. An environment of academic integrity is requisite to respect for self and others and a civil community.
Academic integrity includes a commitment to not engage in or tolerate acts of falsification, misrepresentation or deception. Such acts of dishonesty include cheating or copying, plagiarizing, submitting another persons’ work as one’s own, using Internet sources without citation, fabricating field data or citations, “ghosting” (taking or having another student take an exam), stealing examinations, tampering with the academic work of another student, facilitating other students’ acts of academic dishonesty, etc.

Students charged with a breach of academic integrity will receive due process and, if the charge is found valid, academic sanctions may range, depending on the severity of the offense, from F for the assignment to F for the course.

Disability Statement

The PennsylvaniaStateUniversity is committed to providing access to a quality education for all students including those with documented disabilities. If a student has a disability and wants to request an accommodation for a course, it is the responsibility of the student to first obtain a University accommodation letter confirming the disability and suggestion appropriate remedies. This letter can be obtained from the Penn State Office for Disability Services, 105 Boucke, (814) 863-1807 from the campus Disability Contact Liaison. The contact liaison at Penn State Hazleton is Jackie Walters located at The Learning Center (Laurel-105, (570) 450-3005, )

It is encouraged that students request accommodation need early in the semester and, once identified, a reasonable accommodation will be implemented in a timely manner.

FINAL EXAM

Course Policies: Class attendance is mandatory. All assignments submitted late will be deducted two (2) points for tardiness.

Students are expected to use computersto prepare lab reports and conduct out-of-class assignments. Computers will be used to analyze lab data, prepare engineering graphs for reports, and perform analytic studies of transformer, motor, and generator performance. Knowledge of word-processing, spreadsheet, and mathematical analysis & presentation software is required.

Students are encouraged to use library technical resources in the preparation of laboratory and oral reports. The formal report will involve a significant component of research on course related materialand each student will be required to present that report to a group of professionals.

Expected Course Outcomes

Outcome 1:

  • Students will be able to use standard methods to determine accurate modeling/simulation parameters for various general – purpose electrical machines and transformers.
  • Students will be able to use modeling/simulation parameters with standard equivalent circuit models to predict correctly the expected performance of various general – purpose machines and transformers.
  • Students will be able to use accepted national and international standards (such as NEMA) to select appropriate electrical machines to meet specified performance requirements.
  • Students will demonstrate an understanding of the fundamental control practices associated with AC and DC machines (starting, reversing, braking, plugging etc.)

Outcome 2:

  • Students will be able to use concepts in trigonometry, complex algebra, and phasors to find correct solutions to electrical machine performance questions.

Outcome 3:

  • Students will be able to use standard word- processing and mathematical analysis software to prepare professional quality written reports.
  • Students will be able to prepare professional quality graphical presentations of laboratory data and computational results, incorporating accepted data analysis and synthesis methods.
  • Students will be able to use suitable visual and graphic aids to prepare and give professional quality presentations on technical subjects.

Outcome 4:

  • Students will work in teams to conduct experiments, analyze results, and develop technicallysound reports of outcomes.

Outcome 5:

  • Primarily via team-based laboratory activities, students will demonstrate the ability to interact effectively on a social and interpersonal level with fellow students, and will demonstrate the ability to divide up and share task responsibilities to complete assignments on schedule.
  • Students will be required to investigate various social, ethical and professional responsibilities in the controversial use of technology and defend a suitable solution.

Outcome 6:

  • Via required writing assignments, students will demonstrate the ability to prepare, according to a prescribed schedule, revisions of written documents of increasing quality.
