Undergraduate Course Microprocessor and Interfacing Techniques (EE-303) on Piazza Website

The fall 2014 semester concluded here at HITEC University. I taught undergraduate course on Microprocessor and Interfacing Techniques (EE-303) to a class of about 160 students. In this class, I have extensively used following websites for resource delivery.

1. HITEC University Moodle -- provides link to useful material [LINK]
2. Google Drive -- to store bulky files
3. Blog [LINK] -- contains link to previous lecture slides
4. Piazza -- contains Q&As and resource links [LINK]

10 Common Mistakes in Postgraduate Level Reports

After each semester end, I have to read a lot of reports submitted by postgraduate students. Fall 2014 semester ends with 20+ reports submitted by students of the course, "GIS and Remote Sensing." After review of these reports, I have to communicate students that how they can improve their reports further (as there is always a room for it). Therefore, I come up with following list of 10 common mistakes (CMs) in submitted postgraduate reports.

CM#01: Missing page numbers.
CM#02: Figure/Table numbers are missing or do not follow a numbering sequence.
CM#03: Figure/Table does not have associated text description.
CM#04: Equations are not numbered and well-explained.
CM#05: Report contains short-sentences and incomplete sentences i.e. pharases.
CM#06: Font size changes frequently giving the impression of cut-and-paste work.
CM#07: Report has a presentation style.
CM#08: Sections and subsections are not properly numbered in the report.
CM#09: References are not numbered and not cited inside report.
CM#10: References are irrelevant and incomplete.

I suggest students to revise their reports accordingly and observe improvements by self-reflection. I strongly recommend to spend sometime on refreshing your report writing skills and ensure to adhere formatting guidelines before final submission of your future reports.

An Implementation of Orthogonal DWT in Python

This paper [LINK] was written to implement Wavelet transform as an extension to the earlier work on Fourier transform implementation [LINK] using Python computer programming language. Two HITEC University students evaluated software code and incorporated various corrections in it. Their names are included in this paper as well.
