2007-20= 08 Course Syllabus

Course Objectives:

Principles of Engineering is a course that teaches problem-solving skills utilizing math and science concepts as they relate to engineering principles. This = course will explore various technology systems and manufacturing processes to help students learn how engineers and technicians use math, science and technolo= gy in an engineering problem solving process to benefit people. The course also includes concerns = about social and political consequences of technology change. Heavy emphasis will be placed on t= he development of skills engineers need to become successful professionals. Th= ese skills include:

Public Speaking<= o:p>
Group Participat= ion
Computer Design =
Mathematics=
Engineering Desi= gn Process
Technical Drafti= ng

Instruction will be accomplished through classroom lecture, demonstration, guided pract= ice, and hands-on engineering based challenges.

Course Assignments:

I. = &nb= sp; Homework: may include workshe= ets, design ideas, sketching and general preparation for presentations.

II. = Laboratory/Classwork: constitutes a majority of the student’s time in class. Large and comp= lex design projects will be completed in the computer design lab.

III. = Tests/Quizzes<= /b>: will be given periodically to ensure mastery of material.

IV.      =           Semester exam<= /b>: a semester exam wil= l be given at the end of each semester and may be in the form of a project.=

Textbook:<= /span>

There will be no textbook assigned for this class. However, a textbook will be utiliz= ed at times for reference and may be taken home for specific assignments.

Materials:=

Classroom rules:

No hats, Do-rags= , head coverings of any type will be permitted in class.
No electronic de= vices are permitted in class at any time.

Do not interrupt class. Raise your hand if you have something to input or question to a= sk.

No tardies.

When bell rings students are to be seated and quiet while waiting for further instructions.

No food, drink, = candy, or gum will be permitted in the computer lab area.
The bell does not dismiss the class, I do. Do not stand by door waiting for the bell.

Be prepared ever= yday for class. Bring your su= pplies everyday.

Assignments:

No cheating. Evi= dence of cheating will earn you a zero for the assignment.=

Turn in all work= on time. Late penalties will apply with out exception.

Make-up work is = your responsibility, not mine. One extra day will be allowed for each day missed but no more.<= /span>

There is no extra credit given at any time.

All design proje= cts must be turned in on the due date even if incomplete. Design projects = or presentations may be made up if extenuating circumstances warrant it. = The project must be made up during the same semester it was assigned. An extension on a project may= be given only after submission of a written statement requesting the extension and stating the reason for the need of an extension.

Classroom:=

No unauthorized = access of the internet.

No games on comp= uter with out express permission from instructor.

Do not change an= ything on the computers (i.e. screensavers, backgrounds, any settings of any kind).

Leave my stuff a= lone at all times.

The radio is controlled by the instructor. Do not change my station or I will subject you the classical mu= sic or Barney’s greatest hits.

Be safe at all times.
