In addition to Part-I (General Handout for all courses appended to the timetable), this portion gives further specific
details regarding the course.

Course No.: EEE F111

Course Title: ELECTRICAL SCIENCES
Instructor-in-charge: Sudeep Baudha (sudeepb@goa.bits-pilani.ac.in)
Instructors: Manish Gupta, Ramesh Vasan, Hrishikesh Sonalikar & Abhijit Pethe.

1. Course Description:
This course covers basic passive circuit elements, dependent and independent sources, network theorems,
circuit analysis techniques and response of first and second-order circuits. Introduction to three - phase circuits,
magnetic circuits, transformers, basics of rotating machines. Semiconductors - operation of diodes, Zener
diodes, bipolar junction transistors and field effect transistors. Biasing techniques and applications of diodes
and transistors. Introduction to operational amplifiers and applications. Introduction to Digital Electronics.

2. Scope & Objective:

(a.) Understand basic electrical engineering principles and abstraction on which design is based.
(b.) Use these abstractions to design simple electronic circuits.
(c.) Understand electronic components like diodes and transistors and use them in design.
(d.) Understand first- and second-order circuits and their frequency response. Use these to design simple filter
circuits.
(e.) Understand magnetism and electricity and understand design of electrical circuits using magnetic flux

7. Make-up Policy:
Application for Make-up will be considered only for Mid-Sem and Comprehensive Examinations. An
application in writing with relevant certificates attached (medical from Campus Medical center or
SWD) needs to be submitted to the IC of the course at least a day before the scheduled exam. No
make-up will be given for surprise tests, tutorials, labs and quizzes. (no exceptions)

8. Attendance Policy: Since BITS, Pilani is a residential campus; students are expected to engage in all
regular and special lectures/tutorials as announced by the instructors. Attendance and class
participation of the student will be considered during final grading and will be based on sole discretion
of the instructors.

9. Grading notice: All students registered in the course are expected to appear for all evaluation
components. Per section 4.19 of the BITS, Pilani Academic regulations, NC may be given to students
if they fail to provide a chance for the instructor to evaluate their progress in the class. Absence in any
evaluation components without the prior consent of the instructor or submitting blank or
incomplete/incoherent answer books may present grounds for awarding NC in the course.

10. Honor code and disciplinary action: All submissions by students in this class towards quizzes, tests,
and tutorials will be considered their original and individual work. It will be assumed that the students
have not resorted to unfair means during the evaluation. If malpractice is discovered, the strictest
action will be initiated against the student.

11. Announcements: Course management and announcements will be handled through the BITS Moodle
webpage. However, since 100% class attendance is expected, there might be a delay between class
announcements and the information appearing on the Moodle webpage.

12. Chamber consultation hours: Individual instructors will announce in class.
