Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

Students understanding in theoretical course outcomes will be evaluated by 10 homeworks. Their ability to use the information and capture the concepts in applications will be evaluated in 5 different projects that consist of simulating theoretical information using computer based studies for which they have to prepare technical reports.
10 Homeworks will consist 50% (i.e. 50% each), and 5 projects will consists 50% (i.e. 50% each) of the final grade.
