Itrequires knowledge of various disciplines such as mathematics, physics, device physics,communication, manufacturing, and engineering.(e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems: Students will be trained to identify andanalyze problems, convert the problem into mathematical representations or certain format, and solvethe problem using diverse resources including mathematical softwares and computers.(f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility:(g) an ability to communicate effectively: To develop student’s communication skill, students will beencouraged to participate in both in-class and outside class discussion with the instructor andclassmates.(h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global,economic, environmental, and societal context:(i) a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning: To follow up the endlessadvance in technology, the importance of life-long education will be emphasized.(j) a knowledge of contemporary issues: Students will be trained in contemporary issues in optical fibercommunications. They will be asked to search the advance of the technology based recent products inmarket, journals, worldwide websites, and private communications.Cheating Policy and Penalty for Cheating: The students should not copy each other’s reports. Duringexamination times no talking and passing papers or other items among the students will be allowed. Theinstructor will give an overall grade of F (Fail) to a student if that student is caught with any kind ofcheating activity. The University defines cheating as “intentionally using or attempting to use, orintentionally providing or attempting to provide, unauthorized materials, information, or assistance in anyacademic exercise.” This includes any group efforts on assignments or exams unless specificallyapproved by the professor for that assignment/exam. Evidence of fabrication or plagiarism, as defined bythe University in its brochure Academic Integrity, will also result in downgrading for the course.STUDENTS WHO CHEAT ON ANY ASSIGNMENT OR DURING ANY EXAMINATION WILL BEASSIGNED A FAILING GRADE FOR THE COURSE.Therefore avoid all appearance of improper behavior! Students who witness cheating should report theincident to the instructor as soon as possible.“Academic dishonesty ... tends to compromise the academic integrity of the institution or subvert theeducation process. All forms of academic dishonesty are prohibited at Wayne State University, asoutlined in the Student Due Process Policy.” -- from Academic Integrity: Important Information for Facultyand StudentsPrepared By: Jaewu Choi, Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineeringhttp://ece.eng.wayne.edu/~patrick/ecewebsite/ABETsyllabus/Syllabus_ECE4850.htmPage 5 of 6
