Sheppard &
Tongue: Statics: Analysis and Design of Systems in Equilibrium |
|
Prerequisite |
Math 170 |
Course Goals
for the Students:
·
Develop a
high level of 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, completing
homework before class, and actively participating in class.
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.
·
To provide
sufficient feedback, enabling students 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.
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.
You may also contact the Office of Student Life, Room, 211, Reid Centennial
Hall.
Note: An
incomplete can be granted only if a passing grade has been maintained, 80% of
the course work is completed, and there is a documented family or medical
emergency.
Methods of Assessment and Evaluation
Homework/Learning Journal Portfolio (25%):
3-6 homework problems will be assigned each class period. These problems provide ample opportunity for
learning physics at the application and analysis levels of learning. There will also be periodic times during
class where free-writing about your personal learning experience related to
homework or general course content can be documented and synthesized. Homework problems and learning journal notes
will be accumulated in a portfolio and collected by the instructor
periodically. During the semester the
instructor will provide assessment feedback to recognize and increase your
performance in the learning process.
Finally, at mid-term and at the end of the semester an evaluation will
be made of the learning performance demonstrated by the student.
Self-Assessment and
Free-writing Journal (10%): Self-assessment,
peer assessment, and assessment of assessment will be performed by class
members in order to help improve learning, ensure understanding of problems,
and improve problem-solving capabilities.
Time to perform this assessment will be periodically provided in
class. There will also be periodic
times during class where free-writing about your personal learning experience
related to homework or general course content can be documented and
synthesized.
Quizzes (5%): There will be periodic 5-minute quizzes during the semester to evaluate
whether assigned readings are completed before the class period. Quizzes may or may not be announced ahead of
time. No make-up quizzes will be
given. Quizzes missed due to a serious illness or a family
emergency (these must be documented) will be dealt with on a case-by-case
basis.
Exams (40%):
There will two in-class mid-term exams and a final exam. Each in-class exam will be worth 10% of the
total grade. The final exam will be
worth 20% of the total grade. The
mid-terms approximately one-half to two-thirds of the final are not cumulative
other than the fact that some of the material will be dependent on previous
material. The last portion (one-third
to one-half) of the final exam will be cumulative. 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.
Team
Design Project (20%): 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 will
be assessed by the instructor during the semester to recognize and increase
your performance in the learning process. At the end of the semester a final
report, along with an oral presentation, will be evaluated by the instructor to
determine the project grade. Peer and
self-assessment will be incorporated into the process on a regular basis and
may be used to aid in a decision on the final grade.
