COURSE SYLLABUS

1. Course Code: EE114-1

2. Course Title: ENGINEERING UTILITIES 1

3. Pre-requisite: PHY101-1, PHY101-1L

4. Co-requisite: None

5. Credit/Class Schedule: 3 units / 4.5 lecture hours per week

6. Course Description:

The course focuses on the environmental systems in buildings. Lecture discussions include building electrical
systems, natural and artificial lighting, and building telecommunications. Reducing operational loads and
integrating high performance energy systems into buildings offers solutions towards achieving a sustainable
and secure energy future. Engineers must understand the interrelationship between a building and its
subsystems, and need sufficient knowledge of building systems and design alternatives to recommend
appropriate solutions that suit the site, climate, building type, and occupants. They must coordinate the work
of the engineering disciplines that carry the sustainability concept forward through building design,
construction, commissioning, operation and, ultimately, demolition, recycling and reuse.

 13.1. Other Course Policies

a. Attendance
According to CHED policy, total number of absences by the students should not be more than
20% of the total number of meetings or 9 hours for a three-unit-course. Students incurring more
than 9 hours of unexcused absences automatically gets a failing grade regardless of class
standing.

b. Submission of Assessment Tasks

Late submissions of problem sets and the case study will not be accepted.

c. Written Examination
There will be 3 written examinations covering the first four intended COs. The final examination
will be the summative assessment of the six COs and will cover all topics of the course. Test
booklet will be used as answer sheet on all written examinations.

d. Course Portfolio
Selected problem sets and examinations are to be compiled and collected before the end of the
term. The selection is based on statistical data gathering (lowest, median, and highest). Learning
tasks and examinations with marks lowest, median, and highest must be photocopied and must be
given back to the instructor for course portfolio keeping.

e. Language of Instruction
Lectures, discussion, and documentation will be in English. Written and spoken work may
receive a lower mark if it is, in the opinion of the instructor, deficient in English.

f. Honor, Dress and Grooming Codes

All of us have been instructed on the Dress and Grooming Codes of the Institute. We have all
committed to obey and sustain these codes. It will be expected in this class that each of us will
honor the commitments that we have made.
For this course the Honor Code is that there will be no plagiarizing on written work and no
cheating on exams. Proper citation must be given to authors whose works were used in the
process of developing instructional materials and learning in this course. If a student is caught
cheating on an exam, he or she will be given zero mark for the exam. If a student is caught
cheating twice, the student will be referred to the Prefect of Student Affairs and be given a failing
grade.

g. Adherence to Engineering Standards

If applicable, research procedure/output/prototype must be made compliant to any engineering
standards, local or international. In case of inapplicability, statements must be made elaborately
in the documentation.

h. Consultation Schedule
Consultation schedules with the Professor are posted outside the EECE Faculty room and in the
School’s web-page (http:mapua.edu.ph). It is recommended that the student first set an
appointment to confirm the instructor’s availability.

i. Appeal system

All appeals on student assessment must be made by the concerned student within one week
after the return of the assessed student work.

In case the student is not satisfied, no later than one week after the decision of the faculty has
been made, he can elevate the appeal to the program chair or dean in case there is no program
chair. The decision of the program chair or dean is final. The faculty must abide with the
moderated decision of the program chair or dean.
