1.

Advanced Engineering Mathematics 3 Credits.

2.

Purpose:
This course provides the student with a knowledge of the differential equations
and Laplace transformation. Differential equations are very important
engineering because many physical laws and relations appear mathematically in
the form of a differential equation. Further, the Laplace transform is a powerful

10. Course Policies

Should be explained to students at the first meeting:
1.

Class Attendance:
a. Students must attend all classes of this course.
b. Any student with absence of 15% of the classes of any course, will be illegible
to sit for the final exam and will be given the university zero (35%) in this
course.
c. In the case (b) above, if a student submits an official sick report
authenticated by university clinic or an accepted excuse by the Dean of
his/her faculty, the student will be considered as withdrawn from the course,
and a "W" will be shown in the transcript for this course.

2.

Tardy: Students are not allowed to come late to classes. Any student coming late
will not be allowed to attend the class and he/she will be marked absent.
Exams:
Failure in attending a course exam other than the final exam, will result in
zero mark unless the student provides an official acceptable excuse to the
instructor who approves a make-up exam.

F112-3, Rev. a
Ref.: Deans' Council Session (26/2012-2013) Decision No.: 324

6-7

 Failure in attending the final exam will result in zero mark unless the student
presents an official acceptable excuse to the Dean of his/her faculty who
approves an incomplete exam, normally scheduled to be conducted during the
first two weeks of the successive semester.
4.

Assignments & Projects: Assignments and projects should be submitted to the

instructor on the due date. Zero mark will be given for late submissions unless
the student has an acceptable excuse approved by the instructor of the course.

5.

Exam Attendance/Punctuality:
A student who is late more than 10 minutes will not be permitted to sit the
exam (first, second or mid exams).

A student who is late more than 30 minutes will not be permitted to sit to
final exam, and no student will be permitted to leave the exam center before
the elapse of 30 minutes.

6.

Cheating: Cheating is an attempt to gain marks dishonestly and includes; but not
limited to:
Copying from another students work.
Using materials not authorized by the institute.
Collaborating with another student during a test, without permission.
Knowingly using, buying, selling, or stealing the contents of a test.
Plagiarism which means presenting another persons work or ideas as ones
own, without attribution.
Using any media (including mobiles) during the exam.

7.

Penalty for Cheating: The minimum penalty for cheating is an automatic Zero for
the test or assignment leading to a possible F for the course. The exam
invigilator will produce a report on the case to the examination committee
chairman. The report will be kept in the student file. The student may remain
seated in the exam center, but in case that causes a disturbance to other
students, the student will be expelled out of the exam center if approved by the
examination committee chairman. A second offense will result in the immediate
suspension of the student for the remainder of the current semester. A copy of
the decision will be kept in the student file.

8.

Mobiles: Mobile phones should be kept turned off or silent while in class. Usage of
mobile phones is not allowed in classes in any form (talking and/or texting).
