Course Description
An introduction to the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, ECE program objectives and outcomes, BSEE & BSCmpE degree requirements, and professional development.
Meeting Times
This course is primarily attendance/participation based, and you are expected to attend all sessions. This course will be graded on the basis of attendance and homework assignments. In the event that you will be absent from a session, please reach out to the instructor and be sure to know the attendance policy below.
Course Learning Outcomes
A student who successfully fulfills the course requirements for ECE 29401 will have demonstrated:
- a knowledge of the ECE educational objectives & required outcomes and the different university resources available to students
- a knowledge of the BSEE and BSCmpE degree requirements
- demonstrated an ability to prepare a satisfactory personal plan of study using SEP in myPurdue Plan,
- write effectively in the English language
- have an appreciation for ethical professional and academic conduct.
Grading
This class will be graded on the basis of attendance, group presentations and assignments. Failure to turn in both required essays will result in an automatic incomplete. A student is allowed one absence but must complete the in-class or make-up assignment assigned for that day, and turned in via Brightspace no later than 11:59 p.m. the day before the next weekās class.
Attendance
Attendance is required and is taken 10 minutes after the start of class. If you arrive to class after attendance, you are considered absent. Each session is worth 100 points, partial points will not be given if you are more than 10 minutes late to class. You are allowed one absence without jeopardizing your grade. Should you miss a class, there are make-up assignments for certain weeks that can be completed to earn back 50 of the attendance points. If there is a make-up assignment for that particular week, you must complete the assignment for that session within one week to receive half the attendance points. If you miss a second time, you need to meet with the instructor. Three absences will result in failure of the course. When conflicts or absences can be anticipated, such as for many University-sponsored activities and religious observations, the student should inform the instructor of the situation as far in advance as possible. If you must miss an evening presentation due to a scheduled exam, you need to discuss this with your instructor so you do not miss all attendance points
Group Participation
You will complete 5 textbook discussions and one myStrengths in-class activity with your group. Group work is a common thread throughout your time in ECE and at Purdue, and success in your program will depend on you building these connections. Groups will be randomly assigned by the instructor prior to class. You must participate fully in each assignment to receive points.
Assignments
All assignments must be uploaded in Brightspace by 11:59 pm EST on date that they are due. Late assignments will be deducted 10% per week until the assignment is turned into Brightspace.

Any actions that might unfairly improve a studentās score (or hurt another studentās score) on homework, quizzes, or examinations will be considered cheating and will not be tolerated ā any infraction will result in a grade of āFā for the course and be reported to the ECE Associate Head for Instruction as well as the Office of the Dean of Students for possible disciplinary action. For ECE 29401, examples of cheating include (but are not limited to) falsifying attendance and/or representing someone elseās work as your own for class assignments and make-up assignments. In addition, all ECE students are expected to know and uphold the IEEE Code of Ethics to ensure you are a responsible engineer and representative of your field during all co-op and internship sessions, full-time employment and/or graduate school.

In pursuit of its goal of academic excellence, the University seeks to develop and nurture diversity.
