Assessment Instruments Evaluation of students’ performance (final grade) will be based on the following three categories:

Exams. Two in-class exams will be given. Each will cover about 3-weeks of lectures

Project. A project assignment will be handed to the students. The assignment will ask the students to reverse engineer a particular product. Students will be asked to write a technical report, show their work in the lab, and present it. A group of three students are expected to work on the project.

Final Exam: The final exam will cover all the class material.

Allocation of Marks

Exam I 15%

Exam II 15%

Project 30%

Final Exam 40%
