This course is enrolled in the Iowa State University Immediate Access ONE Program.

What is Immediate Access ONE?

This is the next stage of the ISU Book Store's successful Immediate Access program. This is a digital-first, flat-rate course materials program launching Fall 2024 for all undergraduate students, designed to boost your success.

Immediate Access ONE provides a predictable cost of $259 per semester for all undergraduate students, regardless of your major. On the first day of classes of every semester, you can easily access and start using your required course materials by simply logging into your Canvas account.

You are automatically enrolled in this program, so you don't need to sign up.

What is the cost of this program and how is the student billed?

Each undergraduate student is assessed a $259 charge in the Fall and Spring Semester. The charge is $69 for Winter and Summer terms. This charge includes all required print and digital titles regardless of major. On your ubill in Student Workday you should see a transaction description "University Bookstore-Immediate Access ONE Program-Textbooks".

Can I opt out of Immediate Access?

Yes, students have the option to opt out of Immediate Access ONE via Canvas within the first 10 days from the start of classes. If you opt out during this period, you will receive a refund. If you change your mind, you can also re-enroll in Immediate Access ONE via Canvas within the first 10 days of classes. Please note that the opt out button may not appear until shortly before classes start as when it shows up can depend on when your instructor creates the Canvas course or has published it.

How do I access the required digital content?

Click on the Immediate Access link located on the Canvas course on the left side Navigation menu. After you click on the link you will see item cards with the titles. For ebooks you can simply click on the "Read Now" button on the item card. For all digital content, such as homework platforms, there will be instructions on the item cards on how to access your digital content.

In all cases, you must put your request in writing. The instructor will review the situation in an effort to provide a reasonable accommodation when possible to do so without fundamentally altering a course. For students, you should first discuss the conflict and your requested accommodation with your professor at the earliest possible time. You or your instructor may also seek assistance from the Dean of Students Office website (http://dso.iastate.edu/) or via phone 515-294-1020 or the Office of Equal Opportunity website (https://www.eoc.iastate.edu/) or via phone 515-294-7612.

Homework Assignments:

There will be a total of 13 homework assignments. The first homework must be submitted but it would not be graded. Each homework after the first one is worth 2 percent of your final grade. You will have more than a week to complete each one of them. These assignments will be used to emphasize and clarify important concepts discussed in the lectures.

All homeworks must be submitted in electronic form and uploaded to Canvas BEFORE the posted deadline.

Also, on the first page please write the following:  1) your full name; 2) your student ID number; and 3) your lab section number. If any of these three are missing, then you will lose 10% of your grade for that homework.

IMPORTANT: Due to the large size of this class we cannot and WILL NOT accept late homeworks. Period.

Unless stated otherwise there will be a 3-hour lab every week. The topics for the labs are posted on the lab schedule.

There are 13 labs for this semester. The first lab must be submitted but it would not be graded. The other 12 labs will be graded and they are an essential component of this class. Each lab is worth 1.5 percent of your final grade. You are expected to attend ALL labs. There are no labs during the first week of the semester.

There are 9 lab sections:

• Section C: Tuesday 11:00 AM - 1:50 PM (Coover Hall, room 2042)


• Section J: Tuesday 2:10 PM - 5:00 PM (Coover Hall, room 2042)


• Section E: Wednesday 7:45 AM - 10:35 AM (Coover Hall, room 2042)

Seating capacity in the lab is limited so please attend ONLY the section for which you are registered. Switching sections is not allowed, unless you formally change your registration to a different section.

Lab Safety:

This class has a substantial hands-on laboratory section. Students will be using expensive, sensitive, and potentially hazardous equipment. Safety in the lab is a number one priority for students and instructors and to ensure a safe laboratory experience, a brief safety presentation will be given during the first lab session. It is mandatory that all students attend this presentation. Moreover, it is expected that students follow any and all posted safety guidelines. All students must sign the lab safety form.

The University's Laboratory Use Policy is posted here https://www.policy.iastate.edu/policy/lab/. A copy of the University's Laboratory Safety Manual can be found at: https://publications.ehs.iastate.edu/labsm/.

See also the safety page of the ECpE Department.

In week 7 you will work on a mini-project instead of a regular lab. The mini-project is worth 3% of your grade.

There will be two midterm exams for this class. The midterms are scheduled for:

Midterm 1: Friday Sep 27
Midterm 2: Friday Nov 1

Both midterms will we closed-book but open-notes (up to 3 letter-sized sheets of paper, typed or hand-written).

There will be a final exam during finals week.
The final exam is currently scheduled for Wednesday December 18 (see the Registrar's web page).

The exam will be closed-book but open-notes (up to 5 letter-sized sheets of paper, typed or hand-written).

You are encouraged to form study groups and discuss the reading materials assigned for this class. You are allowed to discuss the homework assignments with your colleagues. However, each student will be expected to write his/her own solutions/code. Sharing of solutions or code is not allowed. No collaboration will be allowed during the exams.

IMPORTANT: Cheating, plagiarism, and other academic misconducts will not be tolerated and will be handled according to ISU's academic dishonesty procedures. See above.

This course assumes that all work submitted by a student will be generated by the student or as part of an assigned group. Any substantive portion of an assignment done by someone else, including AI-generated content, is not allowed and will be treated as academic misconduct.

You are expected to attend ALL lectures and ALL labs. If you have a valid reason to miss a class (e.g., because you are ill) then it is your responsibility to find out what we have talked about in class, including any announcements that were made during class.

This class is rated PG-13 for some exposure to novel ideas, difficult problems, long and frustrating hours behind the keyboard, 800-page textbook, Muppet violence, the Quartus environment, and some HDL language. Parental involvement is not required and is strongly discouraged.

You will have a two-week window of appeal after each homework/exam is graded and returned. The grade challenge must be in writing and must clearly state the specific problem on the homework/exam in question and the reason for your challenge. The written statement and the original exam must be submitted to the instructor during the two-week window. After two weeks the grade cannot be changed.
