Homework
Homework problems will be assigned weekly and due on Wednesday following the week
assigned. It is your responsibility to learn the material and to seek help. Your work should
be presented in a professional and be easy to follow. Collaboration with your classmates is
encouraged but your work should be an individual effort.
Projects
A term project will be required of all students working in 3 to 4-person teams due prior to
the end of the semester. Possible project topics will be provided in a list by the instructors
and mutually agreed to by the team. The topics may be survey type technical papers in
ASME format, preparing YouTube educational videos on HEV and EV technology, testing
battery characteristics, testing Prius on dynamometer, using scan tool, energy balance of
Formula-E car, creating simulation program to size HEV components, and other possible
topics.
Level of
Effort
The expectation for the class is that each student should apply 45 hours per unit over the 15
week semester. That works out to 3 hours per week per unit or 9 hours per week for this
class. Typical breakdown is 2.5 hours in class, 2 hours reading text material, 2 hours
homework, and 2 hours on project. The project team, will have 100 to 120 hours, and the
term project should result in projects with lasting value. Project presentations are made at
the last two sessions of the semester.

University Policies
Academic integrity
Your commitment as a student to learning is evidenced by your enrollment at San Jose State University. The
Universitys Academic Integrity policy, located at http://www.sjsu.edu/senate/S07-2.htm, requires you to be
honest in all your academic course work. Faculty members are required to report all infractions to the office of
Student Conduct and Ethical Development. The Student Conduct and Ethical Development website is available
at http://www.sjsu.edu/studentconduct/.
Instances of academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. Cheating on exams or plagiarism (presenting the work of
another as your own, or the use of another persons ideas without giving proper credit) will result in a failing
grade and sanctions by the University. For this class, all assignments are to be completed by the individual
student unless otherwise specified. If you would like to include your assignment or any material you have
submitted, or plan to submit for another class, please note that SJSUs Academic Policy S07-2 requires approval
of instructors.
Campus Policy in Compliance with the American Disabilities Act
If you need course adaptations or accommodations because of a disability, or if you need to make special
arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, please make an appointment with me as soon as possible,
or see me during office hours. Presidential Directive 97-03 requires that students with disabilities requesting
accommodations must register with the Disability Resource Center (DRC) at http://www.drc.sjsu.edu/ to
establish a record of their disability.
