General Education Outcomes: Below is a listing of General Education Outcome(s) that this course supports.
-
Communicate effectively in various forms
Course-specific student learning outcomes:
| Course Objectives | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|
| Use simulation and PC layout software | Produce printed circuit board layouts using CAD software and create professional level analog circuit boards. |
| Verify that a circuit is working correctly by taking measurements and interpreting the results. | Students will assembly and test the Logic Probe. They will verify that the probe is functioning correctly by evaluating the circuit |
| Use instrumentation equipment and effective measurement techniques for building, testing, and operating of electronic circuits and systems. | The students will build and test the Infrared-Controlled Robot and proper operation will be verified. |
| Describe the interrelationships between technology, professional responsibilities and contemporary society | A short reading on ethical behavior as it relates to technology will be handed out. Several short questions relating to the reading will be answered and handed in for grading. |
Program-specific outcomes

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.
