Computer Usage:
Students are expected to use engineering/math calculation software, like
MathCAD or MATLAB (or FORTRAN, BASIC, or C programs, etc.) to solve some
homework problems and projects, which may require computational programming and
graphing.
Laboratory Projects:
Not planed, but may be introduced if
time and schedule allows.
Grading:
Homework
15%; Projects 10%; Midterms and Quizzes 30%; Final exam 45%. If any item is not
required/graded for the whole class, the other items are prorated
proportionally. Final Exam is comprehensive and its passing grade is required
to pass the course (see Class/HW/Lab/Exam
Policies).
