Attendance:
With a single exception as noted in the Course Schedule, lectures will always be on
Wednesdays and Fridays and recitation sessions will be held on Mondays. Attendance is not
required, but is very strongly urged. You are responsible for all material and announcements
presented in the lecture sessions.
Course Objective: To provide the student with the fundamentals of engineering mechanics, especially for
students planning to take the FE examination.
Student Outcome: The ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems. [ABET outcome 3(e)]
Assessment:
There will be no examinations nor will there be a comprehensive final examination.
Your entire grade will be determined by your performance on 14 weekly, in-class, 15-minute
quizzes given each Wednesday during the last 15 minutes of the class. You will be expected to
take every quiz at the scheduled time but will be allowed to make up one, and only one,
missed quiz. In this case, you must contact me and arrange a make-up no later than one week
after the quiz to be made up was given. Also, it is my policy to drop the lowest quiz grade
before determining the final grade.
Homework:
You are expected to know how to solve the six (6) problems at the end of each lesson.
Homework will NOT be collected nor graded, but these problems will be the basis for most, if
not all, of the in-class quizzes given during the semester.
Academic Integrity: The highest standards of academic integrity are expected. You are free to work with one
another to solve the homework problems, but the quizzes are expected to be your individual
effort. Consult the Tiger Cub, or speak to me if there are any questions.
Special Accommodations: Students requiring special accommodations should contact the Director of the
Program for Students with Disabilities, located in 1232 Haley Center.
Grading Policy: The following scale will be used to determine your grade: A (100-90); B (89-80); C (79-65); D
(64-50); F (< 50). Your numerical score (NS) will be calculated using Excel® 2010 as follows:
NS = Quiz grade average x 10 rounded (by Excel®) to the nearest integer.
Academic Contingency: If normal class and/or lab activities are disrupted due to pestilence, civil emergency
(WW Z), or crisis situation (e.g., flu outbreak, plague of locusts, hurricane, Martian invasion, etc.), the syllabus
and other course plans and assignments may be modified to allow completion of the course. If this occurs, a
modification to your syllabus and/or course assignments will replace the original materials.
