8 Course Description This course is designed for BSEE students to attain
an in-depth understanding of the design,
construction and working principles of direct
current motors and generators. The course
begins with a discussion of the principles of motor
and generator actions, construction as well as
the different parts of dc electromechanical
rotating machines (dynamo). Succeeding topics
cover the different types, operating
characteristics and efficiency of dc generator
and motors
9 Course Learning As a result of their educational experiences in the
Outcomes course EE 3111, students should be able to:
CLO 1: distinguish the difference between
generators and motors;
CLO 2: familiarize with the different types of direct
current generators and motors;
CLO 3: analyze the characteristics of direct
current generators and motors; and

12 Monitoring Details Students with internet connection will be
monitored through the SLU Student Portal and
through their participation in the Google
Classroom and other forms of online activities.
Students without any internet connection will be
monitored through:
a. Telephone calls or short messages
(through SMS) at least once a week;
b. Express mail correspondence of printed
modules and requirements between the
faculty and the student at designated
schedules;
c. Express mail correspondence of USB flash
drive containing electronically encoded
instruction modules and course
requirements (in text, audio, and/or video
format) between the faculty and the
student at designated schedules.
13 Technological Support The online delivery of this course will be
supported by the SLU Google Suite institutional
subscription, SLU E-Learning Resources, and SLU
Student Portal, and other online tools.
The offline delivery will require the use of one
16GB USB flash drive to send the recorded
materials for students without an internet
connection. The same flash drive will be used by
the student to submit the required outputs to their
instructor.
14 Course Budget The cost of the flash drive and shipping fees shall
be shouldered by each student who decides to
avail of the offline mode of instructional delivery.
The total actual cost shall be charged in full
