Prerequisite |
Math 170 |
Course Goals for
the Instructor:
· To provide all students the tools
necessary to succeed in their pursuit of a deeper understanding of the
principles of applied mechanics and the modeling of force systems in
engineering statics.
· To provide all students with an
atmosphere conducive to learning the principles of engineering statics.
· To provide sufficient feedback to
students, enabling them to gauge their progress towards achieving their goal in
acquiring a mastery of the principles of engineering statics.
· To facilitate student learning through
the use of appropriate technology and the illustration of statics applications
in the real world.
Course Goals for
the Students:
· Develop an understanding of the
fundamental principles of applied mechanics and the modeling of force systems
in engineering statics.
· Demonstrate an integrated understanding
of engineering statics principles through applications involving problem
solving and through creation of design solutions to engineering scenarios.
· Work cooperatively with others to
facilitate a collegial atmosphere conducive to learning for all students in the
class.
· Prepare for and attend each class by
reading the assigned sections before class and participating in class
discussions.
Note: If you
need course adaptations or accommodations because of a disability, or if you
have important emergency medical information to share with me, please make an
appointment with me as soon as possible.

Centennial Hall.
Homework:
Problem sets containing 3-6 problems will be assigned each class
period. All problem sets assigned
during one week are due at the beginning of class the following Tuesday. Two problems worth 5 points each (thus 10
points earnable per day) will be graded from each problem set for return to
students the following Tuesday, or earlier if needed. Solutions to all problems will be posted upon return of the
homework. The lowest 3 problem set
scores will be dropped, leaving a total homework score of 220 points. Late homework will not be accepted after
that homework has been returned to the class.
Late homework that can be accepted will have its grade reduced by 50%.
Exams: There will be two
mid-term exams and a final exam. Each
mid-term exam will be worth 100 points.
The mid-term exams will be written for 1 hour, but you may use the full
1 hour and 15 minute class period if needed.
The final exam will be worth 150 points. The final exam will be written for 1.5 hours, but you may use the
full 2 hour period if needed. The final
will be a comprehensive exam with approximately two-thirds of the material
coming from topics taught since the last exam, and one-third of the material
coming from topics taught before the last exam. No make-up exams will be given.
If you have a serious conflict with an exam time, you must discuss it
with the instructor and take the exam early.
Exams missed due to a serious illness or a family emergency (these must
be documented) will be dealt with on a case by case basis.
Group Design
Project: Teams of 3-5 members will be formed. Each team will produce a design during the
semester that involves the use of a number of engineering statics
principles. Three progress reports
worth 15 points each, one final report worth 40 points, and an oral
presentation worth 15 points will be graded.
These totals include peer grades worth half the total points. This gives a total of 100 points for the
group design project.
