TEACHING METHODOLOGY:
The course will be taught using formal lectures and class discussions while focusing on
analytic and logical thinking enhancement. The learning is further enhanced through
developing continuous study habits and is tested through (un)announced Quizzes,
Assignments, Mid Semester Examination and Final Examination. Regular tutorials and
problems solving sessions are held with both ways communication during these sessions.
COURSE DURATION:
This course consists of 16 weeks full semester of instructions with 3-1-4 credit hours
(3 theory lectures and 1 lab) per week. The final examination will be conducted during
additional week(s) at the end of instructions period.
COURSE PARTICIPATION:
The course will be attended by Bachelor of Engineering (BE) students in the discipline of
Biomedical Engineering Program (BEBME) in the 1st year of their studies.
EVALUATION:
The course will include about 4 to 6 (un)announced Quizzes, one Mid Semester
Examination, and one Final Examination. In addition, assignments at the end of various
course modules may be set. Evaluation will be based on relative grading and competency
based. The evaluation of grades will be tentatively based on the following factors.
