Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyDepartment of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science6.002 – Circuits & ElectronicsSpring 2006InformationLecturer: Prof. J. H. Lang, Room 10-176, Extension 3-4687, [email protected]: Prof. L. A. Kolodziejski, Room 36-287, Extension 3-6868, [email protected];Prof. R. R. Parker, Room NW17-288, Extension 8-6662, [email protected]: Lance Bourque, [email protected];Byungsub Kim, [email protected] (Head TA);Alexander Moore, [email protected];William Sanchez, [email protected] TA offices are inside the Lab, Room 38-501.Web Site: http://web.mit.edu/6.002Prereqs: Both 8.02(2) and 18.03/6 are important prerequisites for taking 6.002. It isdifficult to focus on the concepts introduced in 6.002 without the physical andmathematical foundations that these prerequisites provide. Therefore, if you havenot taken both 8.02(2) and 18.03/6, you will not be allowed to enroll in 6.002.Lectures: One-hour lectures will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11:00 AM in Room10-250.Recitations: One-hour recitations are currently scheduled for Wednesdays and Fridays asshown in the chart below. Recitation assignments will be posted at the 6.002web site by the end of the day on Thursday 2/9. You should attend your as-signed recitation throughout the entire term. If you must change your recitationassignment, please inform your TA or the Head TA.Hour Room Instructor TA10 AM 36-153 Kolodziejski Sanchez11 AM 36-153 Kolodziejski Kim12 Noon 36-153 Parker Moore1PM 36-153 Parker BourqueIf changes to the scheduling of recitations become necessary, they will be an-nounced in advanced during lecture and recitation. These changes will also bereflected in the recitation assignments posted at the 6.002 web site.Tutorials: Tutorials will be held in the TA offices inside the Lab, Room 38-501, on Mondaysand Tuesdays, and perhaps Wednesdays, during those weeks in which there is nolab in progress. Tutorial hours will be assigned and posted at the 6.002 web siteby the end of the day on Thursday 2/9. Tutorials canceled due to the President’sDay and Patriot’s Day holidays will be rescheduled by your TA.Text: The 6.002 text book, Foundations of Analog and Digital Electronic Circuits,byAgarwal and Lang, may be purchased at Quantum Books. There is also a smallnumber of books on reserve at Barker Library.Videos: Nine hour-long video tutorials are available for viewing on the web. Their addressis http://web.mit.edu/6.002/www/spring01/videos, and there is a link to themat the 6.002 web site. They cover the following topics: nodal analysis; complexnumbers; transistor amplifier analysis; small-signal analysis; sinusoidal steady-state analysis; resonance; operational amplifiers; bode plots; and linear circuitdynamics.WebSim: Interactive circuit simulations are available at http://euryale.lcs.mit.edu/websim.There is a link to the simulations at the 6.002 web site.Homework: Homework will be issued on Wednesdays in recitation and collected on the fol-lowing Wednesdays in recitation. Corrected homework with solutions will bereturned in tutorials the week after it is collected. You are welcome and encour-aged to discuss the homework among your colleagues, but the final formulationand write up of your homework solutions must be your own. Submitting home-work copied from someone else is a serious breach of ethics, and will be handledby the Committee on Discipline.Late homework will not be accepted for grading. However, total homework gradeswill be based on the best nine out of eleven individual homework grades. Thus,with one exception, two homework assignments may be missed without a gradingpenalty. The one exception is Homework #11, which is mandatory. Homework#11 will be a two-week design assignment that will also serve as the pre-labexercises for Lab #4.Handouts: Extra handouts from lecture and recitation can generally be found at the 6.002web site. Please ask the lecturer or the Head TA for a copy of those handoutsthat can not be put on the web.Labs: Labs will be conducted during the weeks of 3/6, 3/20, 4/24 and 5/8. TAs andLAs will be available for help and lab check-off at least between 1:00 PM and 5:00PM during those weeks in which a lab is in progress. Individual lab hours willbe assigned and posted at the 6.002 web site by the end of the day on Thursday2/9. Written work for each lab, which is to be completed in a lab notebook,will generally be due in recitation on the Wednesday following the week of thecorresponding lab. You are welcome and encouraged to discuss the labs amongyour colleagues. However, the execution and write up of your lab must be doneon your own. Skipping the lab and submitting work copied from someone else isa serious breach of ethics, and will be handled by the Committee on Discipline.Failure to complete the labs in this subject will result in a grade of F.Lab Kits: Lab kits will be most easily purchased on Monday and Tuesday, 2/13 and 2/14,from 2 PM to 4 PM in the Lab, Room 38-501. To do so, you must bring acompleted purchase form, and payment of $25; payment by check is preferred, butcash will be accepted. The forms will be handed out in recitation on Wednesday2/8. Once purchased, the lab kits may be picked up at the EECS Instrument Deskin the Lab, between 9 AM and 5 PM. To pick up a lab kit, you must also sign andhand in the EECS Safety Sheet attached to the Laboratory Information handout.The EECS Safety Sheet will also be handed out in recitation on Wednesday 2/8.Lab Books: You must obtain a thin square-ruled notebook for recording and/or graphingmeasurements and observations made during in-lab exercises. Written pre-laband post-lab exercises must also be completed in your lab notebook. Your labnotebook will generally be due for grading during recitation on the Wednesdayfollowing the lab week; it will be returned before the next lab.Quizzes: One-hour closed-book quizzes will be given in recitation on Wednesday 3/1, Fri-day 4/7 and Friday 5/5. Obviously, the quizzes must be worked on your own,and any infractions will be handled by the Committee on the Discipline.Graded quizzes will be returned in recitation. If you do not attend recitation onthe day that your quiz is returned, then it is your responsibility to get your quizfrom your recitation instructor. You will have two weeks from the day each quizis returned in recitation to request a grading review, regardless of whether or notyou attended recitation and received your quiz.
