My Expectations
This course will increase your technical knowledge and skills,
and will also provide you opportunities to practice the profession of
engineering:
|
I expect professionalism in your conduct, both in the
classroom and in the lab |
|
I expect professionalism in your written work -- strive
for neat and orderly presentation of your work |
Content of Self-Selected Imagery
Images should be selected to
serve a specific technical purpose. For example, if you wish to demonstrate how
well a particular edge detection scheme works, it would make sense to choose an
image that has both strong and weak edge information.
Since the imagery you select
serves a technical function, choose images that have neutral content,
i.e., the subject matter should not draw undue attention to itself in a
non-technical manner. Here are two rules of thumb to help make your decision:
|
Rule of Thumb #1:
Choose images for class-related work in the same way you would choose images
if you were making a job-related presentation in a professional setting. Avoid
imagery that could be considered offensive (sexist, racist, violent, etc.). |
|
Rule of Thumb #2: If
you are in doubt as to whether the imagery is questionable, it probably is, so
don’t use it. |
Use of inappropriate imagery as judged by the instructor
during any part of course activities will result in reduced (as low as zero)
credit for the work in question.
NOTE: An image database is
available for your use.
