CSE 381 and programming competence |

Grading
|
Assignments/Lab Projects: 50%, Exams:
50%. The projects will be graded based on the quality of the designs, reports
and presentations. CSE 671 will have additional project and exam
requirements. |

Homework
|
Homework
assignments are to be submitted in lecture on the assigned due date. No late
assignments will be accepted. You are expected to complete the homework
individually. However, you can discuss assignments and solutions with each
other, but all work submitted must be the sole work of the author. Course
projects will be completed individually or in-groups of two. Answers to
selected problems will be available on the class web page. |
||||||||||||||||
Exams
|
All exams must be taken at the scheduled time unless a previous
arrangement (with a good reason) has been made with the instructor. |
||||||||||||||||
Attendance
|
You are expected to attend each class punctually and remain for
the entire class period; tardiness disturbs everyone. You need to inform the
instructor in advance if you expect to miss a class or leave the course
before the end of the semester. If you miss class your absence will be
excused by the instructor only if a doctor's certificate or other evidence is
submitted. If you have been absent and fail to submit an excuse to the instructor,
your absence will be considered unexcused. Even if your absence is excused,
you remain responsible for the work associated with the class you
missed. There will be a number of unannounced pop quizzes. |

Academic Honesty
|
Cheating in any form is not tolerated, nor is assisting another
person to cheat. The submission of any work by a student is taken as a
guarantee that the thoughts and expressions in it are the student's own
except when properly credited to another. Violations of this principle include giving or receiving aid in
an exam or where otherwise prohibited, fraud, plagiarism, the falsification
or forgery of any record, and any other deceptive act in connection with
academic work. Plagiarism is the representation of another's words, ideas,
programs, formulae, options, or other products of work as one's own, either
overtly or by failing to attribute them to their true source. Always protect your own work from others, since it is often not
possible to determine who the originator or the copier was. Such offense will
result in a failing grade ‘F’ and a letter of reprimand in your
permanent student file. |

Required Knowledge and Skills
|
Recall: You should be able to define the
differences between various classes of systems such as CISC & RISC and
micro programmable & wired decoding. Comprehension: You should be able to translate
between various formal representations for design and analysis and interpret
the meaning of the various formal representations. Application: You should be able to modify a
system to enhance its overall throughput using various techniques such as
pipelining and multiple execution units. |
||||||||||||||||
Acquired Knowledge and Skills
|
Recall: You should be able to describe and
understand the principle characteristics of a generic embedded system. You should be able describe and
understand key tools used in the overall embedded-system design process such
as ARM/MIPS platforms and Synopsys/Cadence tools. Comprehension: You should be able to define the
principle design criteria and constraints such as cost, size, power,
reliability, maintainability, and reusability for a given embedded system. You should be able to describe and
understand contemporary industrial practices and trends with respect to
embedded systems and embedded-system design. Application: You should be able to understand and
apply the overall engineering design process such as project justification,
constraint identification, establishments of design criteria and timetables,
the partitioning of work and project evaluation. You should be able to search for the
information contained in contemporary technical literature and for the
embedded-system hardware components, software, design tools, third-party
suppliers, etc. Synthesis: When given an abstract description
of behavior, you should be able to create a concrete implementation that is a
faithful refinement of the specification. Evaluation: You should be able to judge the
degree of correspondence between abstract behavioral specifications and the
actual behavior of implementations. |
