ACCREDITATION BOARD FOR ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
ABET Professional Requirements contribution of this course: 3 credits
of engineering science.
This course is designed to meet the following ABET learning objectives
and outcomes:
Objective 1: Students will be able to use knowledge and skills in
electrical and computer engineering to support their professional
activities.
Outcome 1.3: Students acquire knowledge of the theoretical foundations.
(M)
Outcome 1.5: Students acquire knowledge of computer organization
and architecture. (L)
Objective 3: Students will be able to function professionally with
strengths in design, problem solving, communications, and teaming.
Outcome 3.2: Students learn to identify, formulate, and solve electrical
and computer engineering problems. (M)
Outcome 3.3: Students learn to use the techniques, skills, and modern
engineering tools necessary for electrical and computer engineering
practice. (L)
(L) = light emphasis, (M) = moderate emphasis, (H) = heavy emphasis

COURSE GRADING
The course grade will be based upon two mid-term exams, homework,
quizzes, and a comprehensive final exam. Grades will be based not
only on technical content but also on presenting your work in a
well organized, neat, clear, and professional manner using standard
technical terms and symbols.
| Exam 1 |
100 pts |
@ approx. the 6th week
ABET outcomes 1.3 (M), 3.2 (L) |
| Exam 2 |
100 |
@ approx. the 11th week
ABET outcomes 1.5 (L), 3.2 (M), 3.3 (L) |
| Final Exam |
150 |
Comprehensive
ABET outcomes 1.3 (M), 1.5 (L), 3.2 (M), 3.3 (L)
|
| Quizzes |
50 |
10 points each, only the best five scores count |
| Homework |
100 |
|
| Lab |
150 |

| TOTAL |
650 |

Final grades will be determined by the following percentages:
A = 90+, B = 80-89, C
= 70-79, D = 60-69, F = below 60
At the instructor's discretion, grading thresholds may be relaxed
slightly.
LATE WORK
Assignments are not accepted late. No makeup exams will be
given except by prior arrangement in exceptional, unavoidable, emergency
situations. Please contact me immediately if such a situation arises.
QUIZZES
During at least 6 regular class periods throughout the semester,
a short quiz will be given. These quizzes are worth 10 points each,
but only your 5 highest quiz scores will count toward your final
grade. The remainder will be dropped. Quizzes will not be announced
in advance. Also, they may occur anytime during the class period:
beginning, middle, or end. If you are not present when a quiz is
given, you will receive a zero for that quiz. No make-up quizzes
will be allowed under any circumstances. Suggested strategy: keep
current and be ready.
ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
Incidents of cheating or plagiarism are treated quite seriously.
The NAU policy on academic dishonesty in Appendix G of the current
Student Handbook will apply.
NEED EXTRA HELP?
I want you to succeed in this course! I'm willing to help you in
any reasonable way I can. If you're beginning to have difficulty,
please contact me before the situation deteriorates. Talk to me
after class, see me during office hours, or call me for an appointment.
STANDARD UNIVERSITY POLICIES also apply:
· Safe Environment
· Students with Disabilities
· Accommodation of Religious Observance and Practice
· Institutional Review Board (use of human subjects)
· Classroom Management
· Academic Integrity
· Evacuation
