Labs There will be a number of labs which are run on a problem-based learning approach. The students will be requested to submit a proposal for each lab, indicating their intended program of study before the lab exercises begin. Formal lab reports will then be submitted for grading.

Schedule: As per the registrars timetable, for the respective sections. Labs are in ITB A114, Mon-Fri 2:30-5:30pm. If students have a legitimate conflict with their lab assignment, please send the appropriate instructor an email stating which section you are currently in, which one you wish to move to, and the reason for the requested change. Since lab schedules are very tight, requests for changes cannot necessarily be granted.

Course Objectives This course serves as the foundation for most other subsequent courses in electrical, computer and biomedical engineering. After completion of this course, the student will have gained the introductory knowledge required for the remaining part of their curriculum. Format: 3 lectures,1 tutorial per week. All the laboratories must be completed to pass the course. The labs must be completed even if, in the case of an individual who is repeating the course, the student passed the lab component on a previous attempt. Note that all labs must be completed to pass the course. There will be a series of 4 quizzes conducted during the tutorial periods. Please note that students who miss the midterm, and who have a valid excuse, could be subjected to an oral makeup test or a written test, at the discretion of the instructor. Those who do not have a valid excuse will be assessed zero for the midterm component of the final grade. Assessment: (subject to change) Final exam (3 hrs) 40% Quizzes 15% Term test 25% Labs 20% Important: Students must pass the combined midterm/exam component separately to get a pass in the course. The midterm and exam will be combined with the weighting 25 on the midterm and 40 on the final. A grade of 50% in this combination must be attained to pass. Statistical adjustments (such as bell curving) will not normally be used. Assignments will be handed out but will not contribute towards the course grade. Calculator: Only the standard McMaster calculator can be used on tests and exams.

Churchill, Complex Variables and Applications, 7th ed. McGraw Hill, Ch. 1 Course Notes: will be placed on the course website.

Announcements: The instructor(s) reserves the right to choose the format (i.e. written or oral) of any deferred midterm or exam in this course. Please note that announcements concerning any type of graded material may be in any format (e.g., announcements may be made only in class). Students are responsible for completing the graded material regardless of whether they received the announcement or not. What this means is that if you skip class and an announcement for a quiz, lab, test etc. is made in that class, then you are still responsible for that material. If you miss it, then you get zero. Plagiarism Academic dishonesty will be taken very seriously. Any copying of labs etc. will be reported to the Office of Academic Integrity. Both the copyee and the copyor will be reported. On the first offence, the standard penalty is a zero on the work in question. Subsequent offences are much more serious: the student is typically assigned an F in the course, with a transcript notation indicating the F is for academic dishonesty. Policy Reminders The Faculty of Engineering is concerned with ensuring an environment that is free of all adverse discrimination. If there is a problem, that cannot be resolved by discussion among the persons concerned, individuals are reminded they should contact the Departmental Chair, the Sexual Harassment Officer or the Human Rights Consultant, as soon as possible. Students are reminded that they should read and comply with the Statement on Academic Ethics and the Senate Resolutions on Academic Dishonesty as found in the Senate Policy Statements distributed at registration and available at the senate office. "Academic dishonesty consists of misrepresentation by deception or by other fraudulent means and can result in serious consequences, e.g. the grade of zero on an assignment, loss of credit with a notation on the transcript (notation reads: "Grade of F assigned for academic

dishonesty"), and/or suspension or expulsion from the university. It is your responsibility to understand what constitutes academic dishonesty. For information on the various kinds of academic dishonesty please refer to the Academic Integrity Policy, specifically Appendix 3, located at http://www.mcmaster.ca/senate/academic/ac_integrity.htm The following illustrates only three forms of academic dishonesty: 1. Plagiarism, e.g. the submission of work that is not one's own or for which other credit has been obtained. 2. Improper collaboration in group work. (E.g., using previous years lab reports). 3. Copying or using unauthorized aids in tests and examinations.
