The meeting time and place scheduled for the ECE 344 Final Exam will be used for a lab oriented exam.
The exam should take only about an hour, although you will have 3 hours or until the last of those who arrived on time leave (which ever comes first) in order to complete it.
The knowledge and understanding of what you did in lab and particularly why you did it will be the focus of the exam.
Our best advice for the exam is: "Know what you did and why you did it." You do not need to memorize the various times and temperatures, etc. for each step, but you should definitely know the order of the steps, have a feel for times and temperatures, and know what would happen if you changed them.
At least one question in each of the following categories will usually be on the Final Exam every semester:
Tim Dow, veteran lab TA, created a list of things you should know by the end of the semester. It will give you a very good idea of the type of information that we want you to know.
Often questions will describe some processing mistake or problem and ask what you would do to ensure that you get working devices or that equipment isn't damaged.
At least one question will require some creative thought.
Bring a ruler and a simple calculator.
Notes will not be allowed.
