Explanation of Grading System:
Homework (15%): Puzzle and problem-solving skills are the hallmark of a successful engineer. You will be expected to complete homework puzzles before the next class period. You may work on the home problems with your colleagues, but the work you turn in must be your own. You will be expected to follow the College of Engineering Homework Format guidelines for all work done for this course; neatness and clarity are essential to conveying technical information to others. Credit may be reduced for unprofessional work. Solutions to home puzzles and problems will be posted on the course web page after the assignment is due.
Design Projects (50%): There will be a number of design projects throughout the semester. These projects will be presented in the form of a letter from a client to an engineering company. You will be expected to develop a design solution to the client’s problem, and then respond to the client with a letter report.
Late assignments will not be accepted without prior arrangement with the instructor.
Final Exam (30%): The final exam will allow you to integrate and synthesize the material covered in this class. It will be cumulative. It will be an individual exam.
Extra Credit (up to 3%): Undergraduates may receive up to 3% of their grade in extra credit by attending professional society meetings throughout the semester. You must botan an Extra Credit Form, and have it signed by the faculty advisor at the meeting. The Extra Credit form must be turned in no later than the day of the Final Exam. No extra credit will be given after the final exam.
Professional Conduct (5%): You will be graded on your professionalism in this course. Many people including your fellow employees, community and family rely on your professional decisions and actions. Your work should place the highest value on safety. In addition, engineers are expected to consider the ethical and environmental consequences of their actions. In seeking internships and fulltime employment, employers will ask professors their opinion of not only your excellence in engineering, but also your ability to make engineering decisions that are safe, ethical and environmentally responsible. The practice of professionalism will be divided into the three areas of safety, attendance, and ethics. These items are explained in greater detail in the course syllabus.
Graduate Credit: To receive graduate credit for this course, one or more additional design projects or a research report must be completed, along with a presentation to the class.
