The following statement indicates which of the following considerations are included in this course: economic, environmental, ethical, political, societal, health and safety, manufacturability, sustainability.
-
- Relationship of course to undergraduate degree program objectives and outcomes
- This course primarily serves students in the department. The information below describes how the course contributes to the undergraduate program objectives.
-
-
basic skill in methods of design and analysis across a broad range of electrical and computer engineering areas
-
knowledge of measurement techniques and experimental procedures in core electrical and computer engineering applications
- Assessment of student progress toward course objectives
-
Course centers on six laboratory design projects, culminating in a team project. Students are assessed based on their laboratory prelabs and reports, the quality of their designs, their in-lab performance, their performance on a bench examination, as well as on their group effort in the final team project.
