2. A power-point presentation is uploaded on canvas, but it should not be considered as a substitute for class notes as it provides only some information to support and supplement a student-centric problem/project-oriented learning methodology.

3. Good documentation is an essential component of a successful project. I will discuss in the class how to write the project report, and provide a sample report on canvas.

Attendance Policy:     In view of the continuous evaluation strategy adopted by the instructor, perfect attendance is recommended for those aspiring to get good grades.

Grading Policy:          Assignments/Quizzes/Class Tests: 60%, Project: 25%, and Final Assignment: 15%. Grades A, B, C, D, and F will be assigned, respectively,  depending upon whether the total tally will be greater than/equal to 90, 80-89, 70-79, 60-69, or less than  60. However, this mapping of marks to grades may vary depending upon the class performance in general.

Academic Dishonesty: Honesty is the best policy. Cheating will not be tolerated. Anyone found guilty of cheating on a test or assignment will be awarded an F grade for the course. Discussions of problems and assignment with your classmates is welcome and encouraged, however, sharing of solutions is not. If you need help, you should ask the instructor. Cheating includes, but is not limited to, all forms of plagiarism and misrepresentation. For your rights and responsibilities please refer to http://www.unt.edu/csrr

Statement regarding Disabled Students: The Faculty of Electrical Engineering including this instructor cooperates with the Office of Disability Accommodation (ODA) to make reasonable accommodations for students with certified disabilities (cf. Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504, Rehabilitation Act). If you have not registered with ODA, we encourage you to do so immediately and present a written accommodation request along with an appropriate documentation from the Dean of Students Office http://www.unt.edu/oda/, on or before the 2nd week of class.

Final Exam Date and Time: TBD.

Our EE Program Student Outcomes (SOs) (and ABET Criterion 3 Outcomes)

Upon completion of our BSEE program, the students will be able to:

[SO-1/ABET 3-1] identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics,

 

[SO-2/ABET 3-2] apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors,

 

[SO-3/ABET 3-3] communicate effectively with a range of audiences,

 

[SO-4/ ABET 3-4] recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts,

 

[SO-5/ABET 3-5] function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives,

 

[SO-6/ABET 3-6] develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions, and

 

[SO-7/ABET 3-7] acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
