STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES Course-Level Student Learning Outcomes 1. Ability to explain the choices and tradeoffs of different settings in modern wireless networking systems. 2. Ability to apply the state-of-the-art wireless networking technologies and standards real-world scenarios, such as WiFi, WiMAX/LTE, Internet of Things and Sensor Networks, Bluetooth and Zigbee. 3. Ability to estimate the performance (e.g. throughput, latency and error rate) of a wireless network based on certain environmental and system settings. 4. Ability to quantitatively analyze the wireless networks. 5. Ability to implement small-scale wireless systems using commercially available development kits, or conduct application research and perform literature review using ACM/IEEE digital libraries. Relationship to CS Program Course Outcomes This course addresses the following CS Program course outcomes: b) An ability to analyze a problem, and identify and define the computing requirements. e) An ability to function effectively on teams to accomplish a common goal. j) An ability to apply mathematical foundations, algorithmic principles, and computer science theory in the modeling and design of computer-based systems in a way that demonstrates comprehension of the tradeoffs involved in design choices.

UNIVERSITY POLICIES Accommodations: If you are a student with a disability and are in need of accommodations for this class, please contact Student Ability Success Center at (619) 594-6473 as soon as possible. Please know accommodations are not retroactive, and I

cannot provide accommodations based upon disability until I have received an accommodation letter from Student Ability Success Center. Student Privacy and Intellectual Property: The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) mandates the protection of student information, including contact information, grades, and graded assignments. I will use [Canvas] to communicate with you, and I will not post grades or leave graded assignments in public places. Students will be notified at the time of an assignment if copies of student work will be retained beyond the end of the semester or used as examples for future students or the wider public. Students maintain intellectual property rights to work products they create as part of this course unless they are formally notified otherwise. Religious observances: According to the University Policy File, students should notify the instructors of affected courses of planned absences for religious observances by the end of the second week of classes. Student email addresses: Students are provided with an SDSU Gmail account for their official use. This SDSU email address will be used for all communications. Per university policy, students are responsible for checking their official university email once per day, please see Student Official Email Address Use Policy here. Academic Honesty: The University adheres to a strict policy prohibiting cheating and plagiarism. Examples of academic dishonesty include but are not limited to: ● copying, in part or in whole, from another's test or other examination; ● obtaining copies of a test, an examination, or other course material without the permission of the instructor; ● collaborating with another or others in work to be presented without the permission of the instructor; ● falsifying records, laboratory work, or other course data; ● submitting work previously presented in another course, if contrary to the rules of the course; ● altering or interfering with grading procedures; ● assisting another student in any of the above; ● using sources verbatim or paraphrasing without giving proper attribution (this can include phrases, sentences, paragraphs and/or pages of work); ● copying and pasting work from an online or offline source directly and calling it your own; ● using information you find from an online or offline source without giving the author credit; ● replacing words or phrases from another source and inserting your own words or phrases. The California State University system requires instructors to report all instances of academic misconduct to the Center for Student Rights and Responsibilities. Academic dishonesty will result in disciplinary review by the University and may lead to probation, suspension, or expulsion. Instructors may also, at their discretion, penalize student grades on any assignment or assessment discovered to have been produced in an academically dishonest manner.

SDSU Economic Crisis Response Team: If you or a friend are experiencing food or housing insecurity, technology concerns, or any unforeseen financial crisis, it is easy to get help! Visit sdsu.edu/ecrt for more information or to submit a request for assistance. SDSU’s Economic Crisis Response Team (ECRT) aims to bridge the gap in resources for students experiencing immediate food, housing, or unforeseen financial crises that impacts student success. Using a holistic approach to well-being, ECRT supports students through crisis by leveraging a campus-wide collaboration that utilizes on and off-campus partnerships and provides direct referrals based on each student’s unique circumstances. ECRT empowers students to identify and access long term, sustainable solutions in an effort to successfully graduate from SDSU. Within 24 to 72 hours of submitting a referral, students are contacted by the ECRT Coordinator and are quickly connected to the appropriate resources and services. For students who need assistance accessing technology for their classes, visit our ECRT website (sdsu.edu/ecrt) to be connected with the SDSU library's technology checkout program. The technology checkout program is available to both SDSU and Imperial Valley students.
