Course Objective:
The purpose of this course is to introduce you to the fundamental principles of dynamic systems (mechanical, electronic, thermal, fluid, and hybrid). To describe the real system, we will develop ideal mathematical models based on differential equations. From analytical solutions and computer simulation of these equations, we will be able to understand how the dynamic system will behave when subjected to various inputs. The objective of the course is to develop your ability to construct and solve mathematical models in order to answer questions concerning engineering systems.

Course Policies
1. The course consists of three hours of lecture and two hours of recitation per week. Lecture hours will be used to introduce new topics and solve example problems. Recitation sessions will be used to solve additional problems, answer questions about the homework and as review sessions before midterm and final exams. Students are encouraged to actively participate in lectures and recitations by asking questions and giving suggestions. 2a). Homework will be due regularly every Friday. Late homework is not accepted since homework solutions will be available after class. If your homework is not complete, turn in whatever you have at the time. Homework will be accepted late ONLY if verifiable circumstances are approved by the

Instructor (not TA). You must obtain a signed approval form from the instructor in advance to attach to your homework. 2b). Quizzes will be given regularly every Friday at the beginning of the class. You will be requested to turn in the HW with your quiz. 3. Three exams will be given: Midterm Exam 1, Friday, October 4, 1 hour Midterm Exam 2, Friday, November 15, 1 hour Final Exam, Thursday, December 19, 1:30 p.m.-3:30 p.m. Make-up exams are given ONLY if the instructor approves verifiable circumstances before the scheduled test date. 4. Grading: Midterm Exam 1 Midterm Exam 2 Final Exam Homework + Quiz Total 25% 25% 30% 20% 100%

5. Study Groups: Students are encouraged to form study groups and work on assignments together. However, the work that you submit for a grade must be your own, and reflect your own understanding of the course material. Do not submit a copied-over version of someone elses homework: work the problem yourself! 6. Scholastic Conduct: This course adheres to the Regents' Policy on Student Conduct, which can be found at: www1.umn.edu/regents/policies/academic/StudentConduct.html Scholastic dishonesty is unacceptable, and will result in the loss of all points on the assignment or exam, and will be referred to the IT Conduct Code Coordinator and the Office for Student Academic Integrity (OSAI: ref. www.osai.umn.edu). Serious offenses can result in expulsion.
