Additional Course Information
Topical Outline: Each offering of this course must include the following topics (be sure to include information regarding lab,
practicum, and clinical or other non-lecture instruction).
The following performance will be expected of any student completing this course with a passing grade. There is no
absolute time limit on the performance of these objectives, unless noted, but the grade received by the student will
depend, in part, on the relative speed and precision of the student's performance in these tasks. Where subjective
evaluations are indicated, the instructor will make these judgments based on his or her knowledge of the skills required
to place a graduate with the expectation of successful on-job performance.
The student will be expected to perform the following tasks in written examination or laboratory demonstration:
Week 1 : Introductions and Project consideration
Week 2 : Begin project design
Week 3 : Complete design with all documentation and schedules. Week 4 : Preliminary design..
Week 5 : Obtain parts/assemble on breadboard. Week 6 : Obtain parts/assemble prototype
Week 7 : Prototype testing
Week 8 : Design refinement
Week 9-13: Build hardware and test assembly
Week 14-15: Final functionality tests and documentation collection
Week 16 : Project and all documentation Due.
Course Learning Outcomes:
Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course, students will:
Build a project using the principles of the electrical/electronic design process
Write an operations procedure of an electrical/electronic project
Demonstrate the operation or function of an electrical/electronic project
Use Critical thinking
Apply verbal and written communication
Work as a team
Apply project management skills
Show responsibility and ethical work habits
Apply technical knowledge and skills
Methods of Assessment:
All outcomes are assessed by a standardized departmental rubric
Required text(s), optional text(s) and/or materials to be supplied by the student:
Departmental handouts, Internet, library, and data book references
Suggested Course Maximum:
20 lecture, 20 laboratory
Version: 3/20/2019 3
List any specific or physical requirements beyond a typical classroom required to teach the
course.
Lecture facilities for 20 students. Laboratory facilities for 20 students must include 10 bench positions each with a digital
meter, logic probe, 50 MHz oscilloscope and probes, bread boarding facility with power supply and signal generator, a
comprehensive stock of electronic components, soldering irons, cutting, and drilling equipment.
Course Requirements/Grading System: Describe any course specific requirements such as research papers or
reading assignments and the generalized grading format for the course.
Evaluation of Performance:
Course grades will be determined by the percentage of course objectives for which the student can demonstrate
mastery and by attendance. Mastery of course objectives will be determined by written examinations, physical soldering
exams, an attendance grade as described in the Departmental Policy handout, a daily work grade which will include
graded homework, graded laboratory work, and a comprehensive final exam.
Approximate Grade Evaluation Summary:
Major tests 60%
Attendance 10%
Lab reports, homework, and quizzes 15%
Final examination 15%
Grade Scale:
90 to 100: A
80 to 89: B
70 to 79: C
