The computer engineering faculty expects that students will:

• Watch the instructor presentations during lecture and laboratories.
• Take notes during presentations so that the material can be reviewed during study.
• Read the assigned textbook chapters. The reading supplements the instructor presentations and rounds your exposure to an engineering discipline that has matured over a century.
• Practice the course material by working practice problems and laboratory exercises. Practice reinforces the key concepts and helps form questions.
• Simulate example digital circuits using the classroom software. Simulation builds software skills, reinforces key concepts, and helps form questions.
• Question the instructor during lecture, laboratory, or office hours. Questions improve the learning process by helping learners remove doubts about classroom material.
• Submit all work by the due date. Learners build organization and professionalism by meeting due dates.

The computer engineering faculty will:

• Start class promptly and end on time.
• Post office hours on their door or the web.
• Attend posted office hours for student questions.
• Work examples of class material in every class.
• Integrate homework assignments and laboratories to help students practice the material during their study time.
• Return graded items within two lecture periods.
• Add comments to graded items to help students improve their work.
• Communicate clear expectations for student work.
• Communicate mid-quarter (midterm) grades to all students at the end of week 5.

• Use your laptop computer in lecture for appropriate activities such as notetaking and classroom examples.
• Use your laptop computer to complete laboratory assignments.
• Use your laptop computer during your study times to practice course material and simulate example circuits.
• Do not instant message, manage Facebook accounts, or play games during lecture or laboratory. These activities are important parts of modern life but distract other students around you. There are more appropriate times for these activities.
• Note that your instructor may prohibit the use of computers during lecture.

• Complete homework during your study times.
• Consult the instructor in office hours for help if needed.
• Submit your homework by the due date.
• Remember that there are generally no due date extensions in university level classes.

• Complete the comprehensive quarter exams given during the last lecture period of weeks 3, 7. Unexcused absences will result in a 0% grade.
• Complete the comprehensive final exam given in week 11. Unexcused absences will result in a 0% grade.
• Do not use calculators during quizzes or the final exam.
• Do not use equation sheets or note sheets during quizzes or the final exams.

• Complete all pre-lab activities written in the laboratory exercise sheets before attending lab. Use study time at home, in EECS Tech Support, or at your favorite study location.
• Demonstrate your laboratory solution during the laboratory period.
• Use laboratory time to also begin working on the next laboratory exercise.
• Laboratory grades are calculated based on the quality of your solution and demonstration success.
• Failure to demonstrate your laboratory work on time will result in a professionalism penalty reduction of 25% per academic day.

• MSOE provides services to make reasonable accomodations available to students with documented disabilities, chronic medical conditions or mental health concerns.
• If you are a student who requires or anticipates the need for accomodations, please contact the Student Accessibility Services Office at 414-277-7281 or in person at Kern Center Room 250 to discuss appropriate accomodations and eligibility requirements.
