Course Description

Covers AC power, power factor correction, AC network analysis theorems, transformers, analysis of balanced and unbalanced 3 phase AC Y and delta configured loads, and squirrel cage induction motors. Includes a 3-hour per week laboratory session. Prerequisite: EET 112 or department approval. Audit available.

Course Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  1. Calculate and measure apparent, real, and reactive power in AC circuits.
  2. Calculate and measure the electrical properties of power factor corrected systems.
  3. Apply AC network analysis theorems to AC circuits.
  4. Apply AC analysis concepts to transformers.
  5. Apply 3 phase AC concepts to balanced and unbalanced 3 phase AC Y and delta configured loads.
  6. Calculate and measure electrical and mechanical properties for 3 phase AC squirrel cage induction motors.

Suggested Outcome Assessment Strategies

Evaluation is done via labs, quizzes, take home assignments, in class exercises, and exams.

Course Activities and Design

The determination of teaching strategies used in the delivery of outcomes is generally left to the discretion of the instructor. Here are some strategies that you might consider when designing your course: lecture, small group/forum discussion, flipped classroom, dyads, oral presentation, role play, simulation scenarios, group projects, service learning projects, hands-on lab, peer review/workshops, cooperative learning (jigsaw, fishbowl), inquiry based instruction, differentiated instruction (learning centers), graphic organizers, etc.
