1. LEARNING
OBJECTIVES AND
GOALS
The course is intended to teach students basic concepts and problem solution
methods in DC electric circuit analysis in the first half. The second half is
dedicated to semiconductor device structures and principles of semiconductor
device operations which will help understanding novel applications as they
evolve in the coming years. The material is presented rigorously.

5. EVALUATION
POLICIES

Examination dates and times set forth are firm. Students are requested
to check their timetable and report possible conflicts with other
courses.
Absence in Midterm examination and Final, late delivery of research
subject and project reports will be automatically marked as zero, unless
the student presents a properly documented valid reason.
6. LAB.
ATTENDANCE
7. HOMEWORK
Missing three laboratory sessions without legal consent will result in an “F”
grade in the course. Students’ grades will be reduced for every
laboratory session absence as well!!!
Homework assignments will be recommended at the end of each section
represent a minimum number of suggested practice problems for the
students to solve to test their understanding of the material covered in
lecture. Even though homework will not be picked up or graded, they
should be treated as an invaluable learning tool to get a good grasp of the
material covered in this course.
There will be two to three quizzes to examine the level of understanding of
the material covered during lectures. The quiz times will be announced
earlier.

LABORATORY GRADE
*The laboratory session grade comprises 20 % of the overall grade.
**10 % laboratory performance + 10 % preliminary work = 20 % of the total grade
Preliminary work: Students will be assigned a preliminary work for every new experiment that
needs to be submitted to the lab. instructor before starting the experiments. The assignment will
be given related to the ‘’DISCUSSION’’ part in each experiment.
Laboratory Performance: Students are required to submit their work at the end of each laboratory
session. The schedule of the experiments are listed above. The instructor will also take into
consideration the general performance of the students while working in the laboratory.
Plagiarism Notice: Plagiarism is a serious academic offense. Plagiarism is a form of cheating in which a
student tries to pass off someone else's work or part of it as his or her own. It usually takes the form of
presenting thoughts, terms, phrases, passages from the work of others as one's own. When it occurs it is
usually found in essays, research papers or term papers. Typically, passages or ideas are 'lifted' from a
source without proper credit being given to the source and its author. To avoid suspicion of plagiarism
you should use appropriate references and footnotes. If you have any doubt as to what constitutes
plagiarism you should consult your instructor. You should be aware that there are now internet tools that
allow each submitted paper to be checked for plagiarism. Remember plagiarism is serious and may result
in a reduced or failing grade or other disciplinary actions.
Cheating: Cheating in any form whatsoever is unacceptable and will subject you to IBU disciplinary
procedures. Cheating includes signing in others for attendance, exams or anything else; using prohibited
electronic and paper aides; having others do your work; having others do your work, copying from others
or allowing others to copy from you etc. Please do not cheat in any way! Please consult me if you have any
questions.
