General Education Outcomes: Below is a listing of General Education Outcome(s) that this course supports.
-
Communicate effectively through reading, writing, listening and speaking
Course-specific student learning outcomes:
| Course Objectives | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|
| ETCTa4: Use application software, circuit simulation software, and computer programming skills to solve problems in electronic systems. | Student will be able to use software simulation tools to analyze circuits. |
| ETCTc1: Verify that a circuit is working correctly by taking measurements and interpreting the results. | Students will be able to test their own circuits and report results. |
| ETCTc2:Analyze discrepancies in experimental results and determine whether the error is within acceptable experimental limits. | Students will understand how their real results differ from mathematical results using ideal components. |
| ETCTf1: Produce effective written documents including lab reports and term papers. | Students will write clear lab reports |
| ETCTi2: Revise technical reports and writing to improve quality. | Students will be able to improve their own lab reports. |
Program-specific outcomes
Student Outcome A - an ability to apply the knowledge, techniques, skills, and modern tools of the discipline to narrowly defined engineering technology activities
Student Outcome C - an ability to conduct standard tests and measurements, and to conduct, analyze, and interpret experiments
Student Outcome F – an ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in both technical and nontechnical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature
Student Outcome I - a commitment to quality timeliness and continuous improvementMethods by which student learning will be assessed and evaluated; describe the types of methods to be employed; note whether certain methods are required for all sections:
- Lab Reports
- Lab Demonstrations
- Mid-Term Exam
- Final Quiz
Academic Integrity policy (department or College):
Academic honesty is expected of all students. Any violation of academic integrity is taken extremely seriously. All assignments and projects must be the original work of the student or teammates. Plagiarism will not be tolerated. Any questions regarding academic integrity should be brought to the attention of the instructor. The following is the Queensborough Community College Policy on Academic Integrity: "It is the official policy of the College that all acts or attempted acts that are violations of Academic Integrity be reported to the Office of Student Affairs. At the faculty member's discretion and with the concurrence of the student or students involved, some cases though reported to the Office of Student Affairs may be resolved within the confines of the course and department. The instructor has the authority to adjust the offender's grade as deemed appropriate, including assigning an F to the assignment or exercise or, in more serious cases, an F to the student for the entire course." Read the University's policy on Academic Integrity opens in a new window.
Disabilities
Any student who feels that he or she may need an accommodation based upon the impact of a disability should contact the Office of Accessibility Services in Science Building, Room S-132, 718-631-6257, to coordinate reasonable accommodations for students with documented disabilities. You can visit the Office of Accessibility Services website.
