| Instructor(s) | Dr. Virgilio Valente [Coordinator] Office: ENG450 Phone: (416) 979-5000 x 553728 Email: vvalente@torontomu.ca Office Hours: Tue 1pm-3pm (weeks 2-13) | Calendar Description | This course builds on the introductory course ELE202 in electric circuit analysis. The course topics include a brief overview of circuit variables, elements, laws and theorems; mutual inductance and the ideal transformer model; 3-phase circuits; the operational amplifier as an active circuit element. Also, simple opamp circuits, the Laplace transform with applications to differential equations and electric circuits, frequency responses, Bode plots, resonant circuits, Fourier series; two port networks, and network parameters for interconnection of two-port networks; use of PSpice simulation software to solve circuit problems. | ||||||||||||

| Course Evaluation |
Note: In order for a student to pass a course, a minimum overall course mark of 50% must be obtained. In addition, for courses that have both "Theory and Laboratory" components, the student must pass the Laboratory and Theory portions separately by achieving a minimum of 50% in the combined Laboratory components and 50% in the combined Theory components. Please refer to the "Course Evaluation" section above for details on the Theory and Laboratory components (if applicable). | ||||||||||||||
| Examinations | Midterm is closed book during class hours for 1.5 hours. It covers all material taught. It comprises of 3 questions with subsections. Final Exam is closed book for 2 hours. It covers all material taught after the Midterm. It comprises of 4 questions with subsections. In case of missed midterm exam due to medical or personal circumstances (with verified ACR), the weight of the midterm will be shifted to the final exam. | ||||||||||||||

Students are reminded that they are required to adhere to all relevant university policies found in their online course shell in D2L and/or on the Senate website
Refer to the Departmental FAQ page for furhter information on common questions.
You can submit an Academic Consideration Request when an extenuating circumstance has occurred that has significantly impacted your ability to fulfill an academic requirement. You may always visit the Senate website and select the blue radio button on the top right hand side entitled: Academic Consideration Request (ACR) to submit this request.
For Extenuating Circumstances, Policy 167: Academic Consideration allows for a once per semester ACR request without supporting documentation if the absence is less than 3 days in duration and is not for a final exam/final assessment. Absences more than 3 days in duration and those that involve a final exam/final assessment, require documentation. Students must notify their instructor once a request for academic consideration is submitted. See Senate Policy 167: Academic Consideration.
If a student is requesting accommodation due to a religious, Aboriginal and/or spiritual observance, they must submit their request via the online Academic Consideration Request (ACR) system within the first two weeks of the class or, for a final examination, within two weeks of the posting of the examination schedule. If the required absence occurs within the first two weeks of classes, or the dates are not known well in advance as they are linked to other conditions, these requests should be submitted with as much lead time as possible in advance of the required absence.
Academic Accommodation Support (AAS) is the university's disability services office. AAS works directly with incoming and returning students looking for help with their academic accommodations. AAS works with any student who requires academic accommodation regardless of program or course load.
Academic Accommodations (for students with disabilities) and Academic Consideration (for students faced with extenuating circumstances that can include short-term health issues) are governed by two different university policies. Learn more about Academic Accommodations versus Academic Consideration and how to access each.
At Toronto Metropolitan University, we recognize that things can come up throughout the term that may interfere with a student’s ability to succeed in their coursework. These circumstances are outside of one’s control and can have a serious impact on physical and mental well-being. Seeking help can be a challenge, especially in those times of crisis.
If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please call 911 and go to the nearest hospital emergency room. You can also access these outside resources at anytime:
If non-crisis support is needed, you can access these campus resources:
We encourage all Toronto Metropolitan University community members to access available resources to ensure support is reachable. You can find more resources available through the Toronto Metropolitan University Mental Health and Wellbeing website.
