Course Policies Integrity: Cheating in any form will not be tolerated. Willfully misrepresenting your work in this class may result in an F grade for the course. Please refer to the Gannon University Code of Academic Integrity. Testing: The test procedure will be announced prior to the examinations. Anyone violating the testing procedure will be dropped from class. Attendance: Three inadequately excused absences from class will result in a grade of F. Submission: Homework assignments are due before the class time of the due date. No late homework assignments will be accepted. Participation: Active participation in course meetings is expected of all students. With each submitted assignment, students should be prepared to explain their solutions to the class Individual Assignments: Students are encouraged to discuss course topics and homework assignments with each other. However duplicate assignments are not allowed. All submissions must represent your own work. Group Assignments: Some of the work of this class may include the development of a group assignment. The work submitted must reflect the efforts of the team. Grading Policy: Course Outcomes Assessment Criteria: The course Outcomes and the corresponding student outcomes are assessed on the construction of the EAMU vectors. The construction of the EAMU vectors used for course assessment applies the following scoring in all cases: Excellent (E) is scoring 90 or better of the total points possible, Adequate (A) is 75 or better, Minimal (M) is 60 or better, and Unsatisfactory (U) is anything below 60. Comprehend the principle and design of classical control Ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems Key Assignment: Project 1 Project 1 requires students to understand the principle and design of classical control. Justification: Successful completion of this project demonstrates the students ability to identify,

formulate, and provide solutions to engineering problems. Hence it is used as a gauge to assess the required ability. Comprehend vector spaces, state space analysis, modern control concept Ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering Key Assignment: Homework 2 Homework 2 requires students to understand vector spaces, state space analysis, modern Justification: control concept. The successful completion of the homework indicates the students ability to apply mathematical, scientific, and engineering knowledge. Hence it is used as a gauge to assess the required ability. Design modern control system based on state space approach Ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs Key Assignment: Homework5 Justification: Homework5 requires students to develop skills in modern control design. Successful completion of this project demonstrates students ability to design a system, component, or process according to the requirements. Hence it is used to gauge ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs. Demonstrate skills in contemporary software tool used in control design Ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice Key Assignment: Final Project Justification: Final Project requires students to use Matlab/Simulink for modern control system design. Successful completion of this project demonstrates students ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools needed for engineering practice. Hence it is used to gauge the required ability.

With successful completion of the minimum passing criteria on all key assignments, the following is the overall grading for the class. Homework/projects Spot quizzes Midterm Exam/Project Final Project 45% 20% 10% 25% 100%

Final grade will be converted to a letter grade as follows: GECE 588 A+ (93%) C+ (75%) ECE 488 A (90%) F (<60%) A (90%) C (70%) B+ (85%) A- (88%) F (<70%) B (80%) B+ (85%) B (80%) B- (78%)
