  • Synthesis
  • Analysis

Assessment Method:

1) Questions on the three mid-terms and the final exam will be associated with outcomes i-iv, and the mean score and standard deviation for each outcome will be computed. 2) The mean score on MATLAB-based projects will additionally be used in the assessment of outcomes i-iv. The number of students demonstrating a minimum acceptable performance level will be summarized.
