Notes for tutorials held in week starting Monday 26 March

Following several requests relayed by the TAs, I have placed the notes for these tutorials on the slides page of the web site.

Week starting Monday 26 March

Although I will be away this week, the TAs will be running tutorials in each of the four sessions, Monday, 8:30am in JHE 264 and Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 8:30am in ITB/AB102. I have adjusted the course timeline line to reflect the topics that will be covered in the tutorials. In the Thursday and Friday tutorials there will be problems that are reasonably straightforward but are asked in an interesting way. I hope that that will be of interest.

Seating arrangement for midterm test

One of your colleagues has just reminded me that I have not formally specified the room arrangements for tonight's midterm. Seeing as the rooms are close together, this should not cause too much confusion, but here is the arrangement.

• T29/101: Students with surnames starting with the letters A to I
• T28/001: Students with surnames starting with the letters J to Z

Revision Material on Laplace Transforms

Several students have requested suggestions of revision material on Laplace transforms and transfer functions. One convenient source is the text book from 2CI5 and 2CJ4, Basic Engineering Circuit Analysis, by Irwin and Nelms; in particular, chapters 13 and 14 in the 8th, 9th and 10th editions. Another resource that includes a helpful discussion of the differences between the unilateral and bilateral Laplace transforms is Chapter 6 of Signals and Systems by Haykin and VanVeen (2nd edition, Wiley, 2003).

Lab 1 now on line

The instructions for Lab 1 are now available on the labs page.

Lab schedule updated

Now that the midterm date has been set, the lab schedule has been updated. Note that in order to set things up so that there are no labs in the week of the midterm while maintaining the even/odd week layout for compatibility with other courses, for Labs 3 and 4, groups 6-10 will do their labs in the first week in which the lab runs. The updated schedule is on the course timeline, which is available from the course home page.

Midterm date and time confirmed

The arrangements for the midterm have been confirmed:

• Date: Wednesday 29 February 2012
• Time: 7:00pm to 8:30pm
• Rooms: T28/001 and T29/101.
  Specific room assignments will be made closer to the date.

Change in lecture room

Following the rather chaotic change in lecture rooms this morning, I have checked the timetable on the Registrar's Office web site and I can confirm that the official timetable now says that we will now be in ITB AB102 for our lectures, 8:30am Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. I hope that there are no further surprises. Tutorials remain in JHE 264 at 8:30am on Mondays.

Laboratories

There will be 4 labs in the course. The labs will run over two weeks. The tentative start date for the labs is Monday 23 January. Once the date for the midterm test has been finalized, the schedule for the labs will be finalized. The laboratory instructions will be updated shortly.
(30 December 2011)

Midterm test

The tentative timing for the test is the week starting Monday 27 February, which is the week after reading week. The test will be held from 7:00pm to 8:30pm. My current plan is that there will be no laboratories in the week of the test.

Notice regarding email communication

Due to the large number of emails that I receive every day, I have instituted a filter system for EE3CL4. In order to guarantee a response from me, you must include the sequence "EE3CL4" in the subject line of the email. I am sorry for the inconvenience.
I would also like to suggest that when you communicate with me by email, you take the opportunity to hone your professional communication skills.
