A variety of issues are discussed, including research, ongoing and planned activities, staffing, new courses, and changes to regulations. • Faculty Evaluations: Every year each faculty member prepares an activity report about research, teaching and service for that year and delivers it to his/her Department Head, and subsequently the Provost, for their evaluation. The Department Head provides an evaluation of the faculty member, and discusses strengths, weaknesses and plans with them.4. Assessment

Figure 1 depicts a typical practical implementation of the logic function f . The students were asked to prepare the truth table of the circuits, and to implement them on breadboards and verify the expected functional operations. An Light Emitting Diode (LED)s were connected to the output of the logic circuits so that Logic 0 and Logic 1 output could be identified easily, i.e., when the light was on, Logic 1 is understood while logic 0 is interpreted when the light was off. x1
