Appropriate lists and copies of technical papers will be distributed or listed for your collection. A list of recent text-books and other technical record will be suggested to you. However, you are also required to research and obtained other pertinent materials related to the topics covered.
ASSISTANCE: Please try to see Dr. Mohammed during his listed office hours or through the communication forum on the web page. If this proves impossible, a personal appointment should be arranged by calling my direct phone number or the ECE department secretary at extension (305-348-2807).
ABSENCE: Class attendance (physical or virtual) is very important and is considered in your overall performance in the course. Students are responsible for all material covered in that class.
IMPORTANT RULE: Students are encouraged to discuss the course topics with the professor and with each other. Any work submitted (Homework, Tests, projects, etc.) should be pledged and signed as the students’ own work, and that there is no any unauthorized help was obtained. Violators will be subject to academic misconduct, which might lead to dismissal from the university.

TERM PROJECT:
A good practical experience: During the semester you will be assigned a project based on a proposal submitted by the student. The project will involve the analysis of an actual system. The project should involve analyzing practical systems by an AI technique for the creation of the decision making process. Final presentation (oral and written) of the overall project results will be required. Software and/or laboratory hardware is available in the lab for this class can be utilized for the projects.
Term Project Report:
All students will be required to write technical reports as articles for possible submission to an IEEE conference/journal. Significant developments in the project are required from doctoral students which result in a possible submission for a journal.
