Professional Component: Engineering Science - 85% Engineering Design - 15% Additional Course Features: Computer Requirements: Access to and experience with a PC or work-station is necessary. Relation of Course to EE Dept. Program Outcomes: Outcome a – An ability to apply knowledge of basic math, science and engineering Outcome c – An ability to design a systems, component, or process to meet desired needs Outcome f – An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility Outcome g – An ability to communicate effectively Outcome k – An ability to use techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering

practice Outcome l – Knowledge of probability & statistics and advanced mathematics (e.g., calculus, DE, linear algebra, complex variables & discrete mathematics) Final Exam Info: Unless otherwise notified the final exam will be scheduled according to the Exam Matrix schedule that is distributed by the Electrical Engineering Department each semester. The current schedule for Spring 2017 states that the exam will be in ENG 201 (i.e. same classroom as lectures) on xxxx Additional Course Info: Academic Integrity The faculty of the Electrical Engineering Department is committed to maintaining a learning environment which promotes academic integrity and the professional obligations recognized in the IEEE Code of Ethics (http://ee.eng.usf.edu/about/codeOfEthics.htm). Accordingly, the department adheres to a common Academic Integrity Policy in all of its courses. This policy is to be applied uniformly in a fair and unbiased manner. University rules regarding academic integrity will be strictly enforced. It is not acceptable to copy, plagiarize or otherwise make use of the work of others in completing homework, project, laboratory report, exam or other course assignments. Likewise, it is not acceptable to knowingly facilitate the copying or plagiarizing of one’s own work by others in completing homework, project, laboratory report, exam or other course assignments. It is only acceptable to give or receive assistance from others when expressly permitted by the instructor. Unless specified otherwise, as in the case of all take-home exams, scholarly exchange regarding out-of-class assignments is encouraged. A more complete explanation of behaviors that violate academic integrity is provided at: http://www.ugs.usf.edu/catalogs/1112/pdf/AcademicIntegrityOfStudents.pdf. The minimum penalty for violation of the academic integrity policy stated in the preceding paragraph is the greater of an automatic zero on the assignment or a letter grade reduction in the overall course grade. Student(s) found in violation of the policy on an exam or literature survey assignment will receive an F in the course. All instances of policy violations will be recorded in a letter from the instructor that is kept in the student files held by the department; a copy of the letter will be forwarded to the Undergraduate Dean's office. A second violation of the policy, irrespective of whether it was related to an exam or any other course assignment, will result in a course grade of “FF” and expulsion from the Electrical Engineering Department. Attendance policy – you are not required to attend lectures. Property – you are not granted permission to sell notes or tapes of class lectures.
