In both courses the project must work as specified, otherwise:
ECE492 will lead to an RP which must be completed within TWO semesters.
ECE493 will lead to a F or Fail grade which means you may have a new group
and/or a new project.
Note that the emphasis is on the successful completion of the project which is
worth 30% in ECE492 and 47.6% in ECE493.
Grading criteria for the written and oral reports will be based on style, format,
clarity and completeness of presentation. Again, to emphasize, no handwritten
or hand-drawn diagrams will be accepted on any report--all portions will be
wordprocessed or typewritten. All schematics and diagrams will be drawn by
CAD or a presentation package.

493 SEMESTER BY PARTICIPATION IN THE PAPER CONTEST AT THE
END OF 493.
