Week 16: Final
Course Structure:
The class meets
for three hours of lecture and three hours of lab during the week.
Computer usage:
The course uses PSpice and MatLab programs throughout the course.
Laboratory projects:
The lab project is a light control project
where the intensity of the light is slowly reduced.
Oral and written
communication requirements:
A lab report is required for each lab and one for the
final project. Each report is graded for
spelling, grammar, and content.
Unacceptable labs are returned (one time) for corrections.
Grading:
Project 30%
Labs 30%
2 Tests 20%
Final 10%
Participation 10%
100%
90%, 80%, 70%, and 60% will
be the discriminators for the grades "A", "B",
"C", and "D". "Plus-Minus" grades may be given
for "borderline" situations.
Calculus usage:
Calculus is used to
introduce several terms such as:
1.
Integrators
2.
3.
Analog filters
Library usage:
Students are encouraged to use the internet,
university library, and professor’s library to expand their understanding of
various topics covered throughout the semester.
