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 advanced expertise in design, analysis, and fabrication techniques within a student-selected electrical and computer engineering concentration area strong skills in problem solving, leadership, and communication the ability to make thoughtful, well-informed career choices a continuing commitment to and interest in education � their own and that of others

Assessment of student progress toward course objectives

Students are assess by a written examination over fundamental course concepts, by a demonstration of an implementaton of and report on a miniproject,and by participation in, demonstration of, and report on a major computer design project.
