| Course Outcome(s) is/are measurable or not: Yes If Yes, please suggest ways to measure: This course contributes to (P1) by teaching probability, fuzzy system, and expert system with uncertainty reasoning. It can be measured by assignments and examination questions (P2) by using practical examples for financial and engineering problems with practical data. Similar questions in assignments are used to test and measure the analytical skill involved (P3) by teaching the basic structure of an expert system and explaining the different components and their purposes. Relevant assignment and examination questions are used for measurement (P5) by using examples to demonstrate how practical engineering problems can be tackled by expert systems. Examination questions are used for measurements (P7) by providing sample programming solutions in class. Marking of assignments and mid-term are useful for measurements on a comparison metric (P11) by demonstrating the computer programming skill in using CLIPS needed for formulating an expert system. Measurements by appropriate examination questions in testing programming skill (P13) by introducing relevant examples in financial and engineering problems, such as oil drilling and diagnostics, and formulating fuzzy rules in motor speed control and financial decision problems |
