However, material covered after the second examwill be emphasized.Students are encouraged to participate in class.NOTE: Cheating at any time in this course will cause you to fail the course.Please refer to the guidelines on the next page.For a complete description of academic dishonesty, refer to the UMBC Student Hand-book.Exam 1 25%Final 30%Labs/Homework 20%Project 20%Class Participation 5%CMPE 650: Digital Systems DesignThe following is taken from the UMBC Student Handbook: DEFINITIONS OF ACADEMIC MISCONDUCTAcademic misconduct may include but is not limited to the following:Cheating: knowingly using or attempting to use unauthorized material, informa-tion, or study aids in any academic exercise.Fabrication: Intentional and unauthorized falsification or invention of any infor-mation or citation in an academic exercise.Facilitating Academic Dishonesty: Intentionally or knowingly helping or attempt-ing to help another commit an act of academic dishonesty.Plagiarism: Knowingly representing the words or ideas of another as one’s own inany academic exercise, including works of art and computer-generated informa-tion/images.POLICY FOR RESOLVING CASES OF ACADEMIC MISCONDUCTIndividual faculty members have the right and responsibility to deal directly with anycases of academic misconduct which arise in their courses. Instances of academic mis-conduct may be identified in one of two ways. If a faculty member believes a student hascommitted an act of academic misconduct--for example, by direct observation of studentbehavior, by comparing the contents of an assignment with that submitted by anotherstudent, or by reviewing notated sources or references--the faculty member, in consulta-tion with the Chair of the Academic Conduct Committee, will assess the student’salleged misconduct and the faculty member’s options. If a student believes that aca-demic misconduct has occurred, the student will notify either the faculty member or theChair of the Academic Conduct Committee. It is particularly important that the Chair of the Academic Conduct Committee beconsulted. The Chair can provide knowledge and insight for the faculty member. Com-munication of instances of academic misconduct also protects the integrity of the uni-versity by providing a means of recording infractions that may be repeated by aparticular student, or which may prove endemic to a particular course or department.Consultation with the Chair of the Academic Conduct Committee provides a formalrecord of the infraction and resolution, protecting the student, professor, and universityshould any questions later arise. The student will have the opportunity to respond to an accusation of academic mis-conduct.CMPE 650: Digital Systems DesignTentative Course Outline:(Note: Changes/Additions to this schedule will be posted on my web sitehttp://www.cs.umbc.edu/~plusquel/)Date TopicWeek 1 IntroductionCapacitance and InductanceWeek 2 Capacitance and InductancePower, speed and packagesWeek 3 Power, speed and packagesPower, speed and packagesWeek 4 Power, speed and packagesPower, speed and packagesWeek 5 Power, speed and packagesScope measurement methodsWeek 6 Scope measurement methodsTransmission LinesWeek 7 Transmission LinesMidtermWeek 8 Transmission LinesTransmission LinesWeek 9 GND planes and layer stackingGND planes and layer stackingWeek 10 TerminationsTerminationsWeek 11 ViasViasWeek 12 Power Distribution SystemsPower Distribution SystemsWeek 13 Connectors and Ribbon CablesConnectors and Ribbon CablesWeek 14 Clock DistributionClock DistributionWeek 15 Advanced TopicsFinal
