5. Project (20 points)
1. The project will be an individual exercise
2. Each student will select an object to be modeled
3. Steps of developing the Object:
i. Identify the properties and behaviors of the object that are interesting and helpful for your
research and write a proposal for the object – 10 points
ii. Write the class for the object and test. Present the object to the class. Submit the
documentation – 10 points. These points will be given to a. optimized and effective coding, b.
readability of the code, comments and documentation, c. an executing program, d.
demonstration of the knowledge of programming concepts learnt in the class (such as use of
arrays, vectors, graphics, OOP concepts of overloading functions, operators etc.)
Classroom behavioral expectations:
Students are expected to assist in maintaining a classroom environment that is conducive to learning.
To assure all students have the opportunity to gain from time spent in class, students are prohibited from
engaging in any form of distraction. Inappropriate behavior in the classroom shall result, minimally, in a
request to leave class.
Academic Dishonesty:
As an entity of The University of Texas at San Antonio, the Department of Electrical and Computer
Engineering is committed to the development of its students and to the promotion of personal integrity and
self-responsibility. The assumption that a student's work is a fair representation of the student's ability to
perform forms the basis for departmental and institutional quality. All students within the Department are
expected to observe appropriate standards of conduct. Acts of scholastic dishonesty such as cheating,
plagiarism, collusion, the submission for credit of any work or materials that are attributable in whole
or in part to another person, taking an examination for another person, any act designated to give
unfair advantage to a student, or the attempt to commit such acts will not be tolerated. Any case
involving academic dishonesty will be referred to the Office of Student Judicial Affairs who will investigate
the charge and set a preliminary meeting with the student to discuss disposition. Consequences of academic
dishonesty may be as severe as dismissal from the University.
I take Academic Misconduct seriously and an act as stated above will result in a zero being assigned
for the assignment, exam, etc. along with a ONE LETTER GRADE DEDUCTION for a minor offense (a two
letter grade deduction for a major offense) for the first offense and an “F” assigned for the course for a second
offense. Cheating on an exam is considered a MAJOR OFFENSE (see above). As stated above, cases of
Academic Misconduct will be referred to the Student Conduct and Community Standards, where students
may dispute any accusations of Academic Misconduct made by the instructor. All cases of Academic
Misconduct will be forwarded to the University; NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE.

6. The University of Texas at San Antonio is a community of scholars, where integrity, excellence, inclusiveness, respect,
collaboration, and innovation are fostered.
As a Roadrunner,
I will:
• Uphold the highest standards of academic and personal integrity by practicing and expecting fair and ethical
conduct;
• Respect and accept individual differences, recognizing the inherent dignity of each person;
• Contribute to campus life and the larger community through my active engagement; and
• Support the fearless exploration of dreams and ideas in the advancement of ingenuity, creativity, and discovery.
• Guided by these principles now and forever, I am a Roadrunner!
