Circuit Syllabus

This document provides information about the EE281 Electrical Circuits course offered at Middle East Technical University in Fall 2021. The course will cover circuit laws, analysis methods, network theorems, first and second order circuits, and sinusoidal steady-state analysis. It will be taught in a hybrid format with online lectures, midterms and recitations, and on-site labs and finals. Grades will be based on midterms, a final exam, and laboratory work. The textbook is Electric Circuits by Nilsson and Riedel.

EE 281 Electrical Circuits - Fall 2021


Course Content:
Circuit laws and basic elements. Resistive circuits, analysis methods. Network theorems. First order and
second order circuits. Sinusoidal steady-state analysis.
Instructors:
Sec 1: Dr. M. Mert Ankaralı ([email protected])
Sec 2: Dr. Uluc Saranlı ([email protected])

Teaching Assistants:

Nurullah Gülmüş ([email protected])


Barkın Tuncer ([email protected])
Ayşegül Kılıç ([email protected])
Engin Can Çiçek ([email protected])

Course Organization:
This semester, EE281 course’s organization will be based on hybrid education methodology. In that
sense, we will adopt both distance/online and onsite education principles. Specifically, theoretical
course sessions, midterm examinations, and recitation hours will be conducted online, whereas lab
works, and final exams will be on site.
In this course, we will follow a hybrid (asynchronous and synchronous) lecturing strategy for teaching
the technical content of the course.
Each week, we will share pre-recorded video lectures (via METU-class page of the course) which will
cover the main content of the course for the associated week. Also, in some weeks, we will offer
interactive sessions. In these online interactive sessions, we (instructors and/or TAs) will organize
question & answer sessions, interactive recitations hours etc.

Online Schedule:
All Sections: Monday 9:40-11:30, Wednesday 9:40-10:30
Textbook:
Electric Circuits, 8th Ed. James W. Nilsson, Susan A. Riedel, Prentice Hall, 2008.
Web resources:
• Announcements, resources, and grades will be posted on METU-Class.
• EE 281 Laboratory page: http://ee281.eee.metu.edu.tr/

Reference books:
• Introduction to Electrical Circuit Analysis, Özgür Ergül, John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2017.
• Fundamentals of Electric Circuits, C. K. Alexander and M. N. O. Sadiku, McGraw-Hill, 2013.
Grading:
• 3 Midterm Examinations: 45%
• Final Examination: 35%
• Laboratory Work: 20% (In order to get a passing grade from the course each student must attend
and submit all of the available lab work)
Midterms:
• We will proctor all midterms via the METUclass page of the course.
• In exams, we will be monitoring you via a video conference system. Your camera and microphone
should be open during the defined time frames of the quizzes.
• In each exam, we will define separate online quizzes for each question. Each question will have a
different time slot, and you will have to submit your answer before the time limit for the
corresponding question ends. Once you submit your answer to a question, you will not have access
to that quiz question anymore. The system will not allow you to go back to a previous question.

Final Exam:
• We will proctor the final exam on site in Campus. The date and location of the exam will be
announced towards the end of the semester
Laboratory Work:
One of the core parts of this course is the laboratory work. Which helps you materialize the theoretical
concepts and learn the important measurement and practical skills.
Unfortunately, last semester we could not conduct the lab work in the circuit laboratory physically. This
semester we intend to do some labs work physically, however due to still persistence pandemic it is not
healthy to perform the labs as we do in the past.
Normally, the course has 6 separate experiments. This semester we will reduce it to 3 experiments such
that we can satisfy COVID regulations and a relatively healthy lab environment.
Please note that your cooperation will be very critical during the lab sessions, I hope that everybody will
be responsible and act accordingly.
For this purpose, please note that responsibilities against the pandemic will be observed very carefully in
the lab. Do not forget to bring your masks to the lab. Also, in the lab environment please try to achieve
the maximum performance of keeping the social distance. We might check your HES codes as well.
During the semester let us know if you feel sick or stay in contact with someone who has tested positive.
We will try our best to propose you a suitable time for a make-up lab in case of such situations.
A tentative lab schedule will be shared with you in coming days/weeks.
