2 COURSE OVERVIEW2.1 Course DescriptionECNG 1016 introduces students to the theory and application of the Laplace Transform. TheLaplace transform is an essential mathematical tool of an electrical engineer used foranalyzing certain systems of differential equations which, because of the nature of theirforcing functions, cannot always be resolved by methods previously considered in MATH1180. Laplace transforms are used extensively in ECNG 2011 Signals and Systems to modellinear systems. Students are therefore required to pass ECNG 1016 before they can attemptECNG 2011.2.2 Course RationaleThe Laplace Transform is an essential mathematical tool of an engineer used for analyzingand modeling systems. It is also particularly useful for analyzing certain systems ofdifferential equations which, because of the nature of their forcing functions, cannot always beresolved by methods previously considered in MATH 1180.2.3 Course AimsThe aims of ECNG 1016 are:1. To introduce students the Laplace transforms and its properties2. To introduce students to the application of the Laplace Transform in solving ordinarydifferential equations.2.4 Course Learning OutcomesUpon successful completion of ECNG 1016, students will be able to:CognitiveLevel1. Determine the Laplace transform of functions from first principles; Ap2. Apply basic properties of the Laplace transform such as linearity and Apconvolution.3. Use the Laplace transform to solve differential equations with given initial Apconditions;4. Apply the unit step functions to determine the Laplace transform of Appiecewise continuous functions.5. Use the Delta function to model impulses and solve such models by Apapplying the Laplace transform;6. Apply shifting, differentiation and integration properties of the Laplace Aptransform.4

6 STUDENT CONDUCT6.1 Student AttendanceRule 7 (d) in The Faculty of Engineering: Undergraduate Regulations 2008-2009:“In order for a student to qualify for credit and/or final examination of a course, the studentwould have had to have a minimum of 75% attendance for that course.”6.2 Extended Absence from ClassPlease note the University’s policy on absence from class as documented in ExaminationRegulations for First Degrees, Associated Degrees, Diplomas and Certificates 2006/2007:31. Any candidate who has been absent from the University for a prolonged period duringthe teaching of a particular course for any reason other than illness or whose attendance atprescribed lectures, classes, practical classes, tutorial, or clinical instructions has beenunsatisfactory or who has failed to submit essays or other exercises set by his/her teachers,may be debarred by the relevant Academic, on the recommendation of the relevant FacultyBoard, from taking any University examinations. The procedures to be used shall beprescribed in Faculty Regulations.33. (ii) In cases of illness the candidate shall present to the Campus Registrar…a medicalcertificate, as proof of illness, signed by the University Health Officer or by anothermedical practitioner approved for this purpose by the University. The candidate shall sendthe medical certificate within seven days from the date of that part of the examination inwhich performance of the candidate is affected. A certificate received after this periodwill be considered only in exceptional circumstances.6.3 Missed Coursework Exams PolicyRule 10 in The Faculty of Engineering: Undergraduate Regulations 2008-2009:“A student who is absent from written coursework tests for grave medical reasons, asprescribed in the University Regulations, shall be graded on the tests he/she has taken as ifsuch tests constitute the full test requirement provided that the tests not taken constitute nomore than 20% of the total mark for all the tests 5 . If the tests not taken constitute more than20% of the total mark for all the tests, the candidate shall have to take make-up tests at alater date.”6.4 Coursework Late Submission PolicyAccording to Rule 11 (b) in The Faculty of Engineering: Undergraduate Regulations 2008-2009,Students are required to submit coursework by the prescribed date.5 20% of entire course weighting.10

6.5 Policy on Re-Use of Previous Coursework GradeRule 11 (a) in The Faculty of Engineering: Undergraduate Regulations 2008-2009:“Students who fail the examination in any course, but pass the coursework may beexempted from redoing only those sections of the coursework comprising laboratoryexperiments, workshop and/or field exercises.”6.6 Statement of Academic HonestyAcademic dishonesty has grave consequences which may include receiving “no grade” on theassignment, debarment from class, or even expulsion from the University. Academic dishonestyis a serious offense which should not be taken lightly. Cheating and plagiarism are both forms ofacademic dishonesty. Rule 32 in The Faculty of Engineering: Undergraduate Regulations2008-2009:“ Cheating, Plagiarism and Collusion are serious offences under University Regulations.(a)(b)(c)Cheating is any attempt to benefit one's self or another by deceit or fraud.Plagiarism is the unauthorised and/or unacknowledged use of anotherperson's intellectual efforts and creations howsoever recorded, includingwhether formally published or in manuscript or in typescript or otherprinted or electronically presented form and includes taking passages,ideas or structures from another work or author without proper andunequivocal attribution of such source(s), using the conventions forattributions or citing used in this University. Plagiarism is a form ofcheating.For the purposes of these Regulations, ‘collusion’ shall mean theunauthorised or unlawful collaboration or agreement between two or morestudents in the preparation, writing or production of a course assignmentfor examination and assessment, to the extent that they have produced thesame or substantially the same paper, project report, as the case may be, asif it were their separate and individual efforts, in circumstances where theyknew or had reason to know that the assignment or a part thereof was notintended to be a group project, but was rather to be the product of eachstudent’s individual efforts.Where two or more students have produced the same or substantially the same assignmentfor examination and assessment in circumstances that the assignment was to be the productof each student’s individual efforts, they shall receive a failing grade in the course. ”11

According to the University of the West Indies’ Code of Principles and Responsibilities forStudents, a student may appear before a disciplinary committee for the following misconduct:“Item 5. Presentation of the work of any other person as a student's own work. This includesplagiarism from unpublished and/or electronic sources.”Every student submission made to the Department of Electrical and ComputerEngineering is subject to examination through an electronic plagiarism checker.12
