Computer Use: MATLAB/SIMULINK and PSAT.

Grading: Homework (25 points).

One project (50 points): Project proposals are due on February 16^th. Project proposals must be one page long and include the project title, a short description of the project and the bibliography. The proposal counts for 5 points in the total project grade. Project reports are due on April 29. In addition, each student will prepare a Power Point presentation of the project to be given in class on May 4 and 6 (tentative). The presentation counts for 10 points in the total project grade.

A final exam (25points). The material in the exam will be announced.

Class assignments are due in class at the specified day. Late assignments are accepted only after a valid reason (sickness, family, etc). Unjustifiably late assignments will be penalized by 10 point off for each day late.

All work submitted for the class is subjected to academic standards and University policies. Copying or plagiarizing will be punished by one or more of the following: zero in the assignment, a letter reduction in the class grade, a failing grade for the class, reporting the incident to the university.
