This course serves as the foundation for most other subsequent courses in electrical, computer and biomedical engineering. After completion of this course, the student will have gained the introductory knowledge required for the remaining part of their curriculum.
Important: Students must pass the combined midterm/exam component separately to get a pass in the course. The midterm and exam will be combined with the weighting 36% on the midterm and 50% on the final. A grade of 50% in this combination must be attained to pass. Statistical adjustments (such as bell curving) will not normally be used.
Please note that students who miss the midterm, and who have a valid excuse, will be subjected to an oral makeup test or a written test, at the discretion of the instructor. Those who do not have a valid excuse will be assessed zero for the midterm component of the final grade.
