for the benefit of humanity". (2pts)
Vision statement: "IEEE will be essential to the global technical community and to technical
professionals everywhere, and be universally recognized for the contributions of technology
and of technical professionals in improving global conditions". (2pts)
IEEE promotes the engineering process of creating, developing, integrating, sharing, and
applying knowledge about electro and information technologies and sciences for the benefit
of humanity and of the profession.
b. There are 2,000 student branches in 80 countries. (6pts)
c. IEEE creates an environment where members collaborate on world‐changing technologies –

(total: 5 1 for each answer)
Ts= 1/fs=1/2000 sec/sample.
t1 = 0s : y(0)= 5cos(0)=5 Volts.

f. (total: 2 1 for each correct answer)
To improve the quality of the A/D conversion, we can either:
-increase the sampling rate, which will give us a better quality of the digital signal but a larger size of
the file (due to a larger number of samples with the same number of bits)
Or:
-increase the number of quantized levels, which will also make the file larger (due to an increase in
the number of bits used to store the data digitally, while the number of samples remains the same).
An increase in the sampling rate means better

f) A-D-F-J-L-M and A-B-J-L-M can both be considered as critical paths because they are the
longest chain of activities (2pts)
g) Since the slack time of the activities A, B, D, F, J, L and M is equal to zero we can conclude
that A-D-F-J-L-M and A-B-J-L-M are both critical paths (2pts)
h) Duration of critical Path= 34 (1pt)
Problem 5: (Total 15pts)
a. (5pts)
CMOS: Complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) (pronounced /ˈsiːmɒs/) is a
technology for constructing integrated circuits. CMOS technology is used in microprocessors,
microcontrollers, static RAM, and other digital logic circuits.
BJT: A bipolar (junction) transistor (BJT) is a three-terminal electronic device constructed of
doped semiconductor material and may be used in amplifying or switching applications.
MOSFET: The metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET, MOS-FET, or
MOS FET) is a device used for amplifying or switching electronic signals.
b. (5pts)
The number of transistors in a chip in year Y2 is given by:
N2=2(Y2-Y1)/2*N1 where N1 is the number of transistors in a chip in year Y1 (Y1<Y2).
So ln(N2)=(Y2-Y1)/2*ln(2)+ln(N1)
Y2=2ln(N2/N1)/ln(2)+Y1
Y2=2ln(1600/25)/ln(2)+2005
Y2=2017
c. (5pts)
We will have 3^(n/2) * 25*10^6 transistors
Where n=2040-2005, hence we will have 5.59193309*10
15
transistors on a single Pentium chip.
