wrapping, equipment packaging, hazardous materials, and interconnection techniques. 3) The third portion of the course is a review and evaluation of your retention and application of the knowledge and skills you have acquired in the EET program’s first two years of class work. The evaluation will consist of a comprehensive exam of your first two years of course work. Failure to successfully complete this exam may mean you will be required by the EET program to take remedial coursework before you will be allowed to complete the EET program..

GRADING PROCEDURES:

Examinations: There will be approximately 3 examinations scheduled for the course, including the comprehensive review exam. It is your responsibility to be present for all announced exams. If you know beforehand of any absences, inform me by email so I will have the opportunity to schedule any exams around that absence.

Quizzes: There may be occasional quizzes given during class periods. If you miss a quiz it will not be made up, unless you have arranged with me beforehand an excused absence for that class.

Project: A project will be assigned for the class. You will design, build and manufacture a project. Milestones will be given for the project with hard due dates. A final project

Page 2 of 7 report is due at the end of the semester and will be of you own work. If you miss a deadline a grade reduction will be given for that report or milestone. If for any reason you fail your semester project assignment you will be given a grade of “F” for the class.

Assignments It is your responsibility to remain current in this course. All assignments are due at the date given. Late work will be penalized severely. If you have an issue in getting an assignment completed on time contact the instructor before the due date. Incomplete work is not acceptable. Summary of Points: Exams, Quizzes 50% Project 50%

A= 90 to100% B= 80 to 89% F= Below 60% C= 70 to 79% D= 60 to 69%

Drop Policy and Academic Misconduct: You must do your own work. Software files and/or other materials copied from another person’s work and claimed as your own is grounds for a letter of academic misconduct. If evidence shows you have engaged in this type of activity you may receive a letter of misconduct and receive a zero for that portion of the course. You are encouraged to work together and learn how to solve problems. However, your hands must do the actual work whether it be drawing a schematic or soldering a circuit board.

Who Am I

I grew up in the Oklahoma Panhandle town of Beaver. That has influenced who I am as any of could say were you lived as a child; has had influence over you. After graduating from high school; I attended a small Bible College in Oklahoma City. A couple of years after that I married my wife Sherri. We have been married since 1982. Our son Rusty was born in 1994 and he is married to Kourtney and they have a beautiful girl named McKinley.

My wife and I served in church ministry for a few years after we were married. Then I decided to go back to school to be an engineer. In May of 1991, Oklahoma State University graduated me with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering Technology. Upon receiving that diploma, Texas Instruments in Midland TX was the next stop. From there I went to Washington State University and earned a M.S. in Electrical Engineering degree.

Upon graduating from WSU, I taught in a Junior College in Pendleton, Oregon; worked at a U.S. government nuclear site in Washington state and also spent some time oversees performing contract engineering work, spending your parents tax money. While in Thailand, I found an add for a position at OSU in the EET program and applied for the job. For some reason OSU hired me to be a professor of EET. I have been here since January 2007 and teaching is still fun for me and I hope it is profitable for you, my students.

Just to let you know when I was studying here at OSU for the EET degree it was not easy especially at first. I did not have the best study habits to begin an engineering plan of study. That first year could have been better. In EET 1104 which you are taking now I worked very hard to earn a ‘B’ for the semester and did not understand the material very well.

Starting the next semester the material was still difficult. During that second semester I started to figure out what it took to be successful and developed better study habits. By the end of the second semester I felt like for the first time I was understanding the material. So, if while you are doing homework and attending lectures you feel like you are not understanding the material; do not feel that you are alone in that predicament.

There is one more important personal fact about me that I want you to know, for two reasons (1) so that you will understand where I am coming from and (2) so that I will be accountable, and be consistent with my belief system. I have considered many of the religions and philosophies of the world and have become convinced that the way of Jesus of Nazareth provides meaningful answers to life’s most important questions, most of which are not found at the back of an engineering text. Because I have considered thoughtfully many options and have examined evidence, I call myself a “convinced believer in Jesus.” While belief is by faith, faith in my view; is not believing in something without evidence. I am persuaded, that the way of Jesus is a warranted conviction.

The principle point of relevance of my ethic to you is how I view you. Because of what I believe most strongly, you are of incalculable worth. I repeat; you have value. Your value is independent of your performance in this class; or what your talents are, or who your parents were, or what you know, or believe or have experienced. You have worth. You have worth to me. Perhaps you are skeptical of this affirmation at this time, but I hope that I will show you that you are, indeed, a valuable person to me. But, more than respect you, I value you, not because you are like me, but rather because all of us as individuals have value bestowed on us by our creator.

I feel obliged to qualify my academic treatment of students at Oklahoma State University. Regardless of one’s personal, religious, or ethnic background or views, I make all decisions regarding a student’s academic standing in an unbiased manner. Specifically, in any course that I teach, I program grade cut- off levels and the computer assigns the grades with no respect to the individuals. One’s grade standing in any of my classes is based upon his/her performance on the exams and assigned work, and that performance is the sole criteria for assigning the grade.

Warnings and Advice for Students

1. There is no possible way that in 3 hours of lecture per week and doing the minimal homework assignments that you can understand the material in this course. You must spend many hours per week outside of class to understand the material. Only you can determine how many hours are necessary.

2. If you come into my office a day or two before an exam and ask for help to understand chapter x, when the test covers chapter x, y, and z there is not much help I can give you. If you do indeed come to me with such a statement my response will be to ask you to withdraw from the course. If you are 3 or 4 chapters behind in the material it is my conviction you will not be able to catch up.

3. If you find yourself in the situation found in warning number 2, you should probably withdraw from this class.

4. I rarely see a student get behind in this class be successful in catching up. (If a school work week is 40 hours and you get behind 1 week; how many hours will it take to get caught up the following week?)

5. School is a job. Set regular work hours and keep those hours, your job success depends on it! (i.e. school is a 40 hour work week minimum)

6. You may have another job to help pay bills but school is your main job. The pay period is just a longer.

7. If you must work at a separate job that requires a significant commitment of time then adjust your academic schedule.

8. Go to every class every time. The only reason not attend class; is if you are ill or there is a funeral for a relative or friend or some other major life event.

9. Do all of your homework and seek help if you have a problem. Then do more homework whether it is assigned or not. Then do problems that you have difficulty with again.

10. Attend and complete all of your labs. If you have a time constraint for lab make sure you have your circuit prepared and you have reviewed the lab material before lab time.

11. Develop friendships with those classmates who are good students.

12. Actively participate on a regular basis with a study group for this class.

13. If there is no study group for this class that fits you; then form your own study group for the class, no excuses.

14. Be a good study partner for your EET classmates.

15. Visit with your professor on a regular basis even if it is only to say hello.

16. If your friend(s) likes to party on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, it is time to make an adult decision and find another friend(s).

17. This is not the most difficult program at OSU, but it is not the easiest either. If you anticipate that you will not be willing or able to do a lot of work for this class then drop this program and find another major or drop school and find a job, or go to Career Tech or join the military. There are degrees that are easier than engineering technology and do not require such a rigorous time commitment.

18. A ‘C’ average will qualify you for a diploma and graduation from this program. That should not be your goal. A ‘C’ student will start out at about $10,000 less than an ‘A’ student. It will take you 5 to 10 years to catch up with your ‘A’ student peer in starting salary.

19. Take care of yourself. a. Eat right b. Get some exercise on a regular basis c. Sleep right d. Find/Develop your relationship with God
