Cleveland High School Syllabus Course: Principles of Engineering Instructor: Mr. Whittenbarger Email: [email protected]

Course Description Credits 1 (Honors Credit) The purpose of the Principles of Engineering program is to expose students to a broad overview of the field of engineering, technology and its related processes. Because engineers use technology to solve problems, many of the sections included in each unit relate to a field of engineering or engineering technology. The course has been designed to be activity oriented. Students will an opportunity (optional) to take a college exam for college credit from Rochester Institute of Technology. The test will be given in April.

Due to the State of Tennessee CTE requirements, the student must pass safety exam with a 100% accuracy within the first 5 days after entering the class. If the student does not pass the safety exam with a 100% accuracy after 3 attempts the student will be removed from the class in order to insure a safe working environment for everyone.

Instructional Philosophy: Students will  Work independently as well as in teams and become analytical thinkers.  Be expected to conduct research and us a variety of strategies to complete assignments and solve problems.  Understand and apply concepts and skills.  Realize the reasoning behind the steps required to complete assignments.  Integrate academics and technical concepts.  Find creative solutions to real-life problems.

Teacher will  Describe the skill and its purpose.  Model the use of the skill.  Guide the students practice using assigned situations.  Encourage students to apply their skills in other new situations.

Student activities will include the following competencies; Independent work, team projects, lecture, research projects, journals, computer simulations, experiments, trouble shooting, competitions, portfolio, presentations

1 Principles of Engineering contains eight units to be taught in a period of eighteen weeks. The units have been developed specifically for the high school years, grades 9-12. Each is designed as an independent unit, but it is recommended that they be taught in the following order:

Course Goals: Unit 1: Definition and Types of Engineering Unit 2: Communication and Documentation Unit 3: Design Process Unit 4: Engineering Systems Unit 5: Static’s and Strength of Materials Unit 6: Materials and Strength of Materials Unit 7: Engineering for Reliability Unit 8: Kinematics

Items Required: 1. Scientific Calculator 2. $ 15.00 Lab Fee (Due 30 days after you enter the class. You may have paid this in your activity fee.) 3. 1 inch, 3-ring notebook (To be used in POE only) 4. Dividers for notebook (8) 5. Journal, Composition Style – (Instructor will explain

Grading System: Professionalism = 25% Projects = 25% Weekly Exams = 25% Semester Exams = 25% (Your notebook/Journal will be a part of your exam scores)

Conduct/Ethics and Attendance: Students will begin the semester with a 100 points (A) in the Professionalism category. Maintaining that grade depends on your promptness, participation, and attitude and how well you comply with class and school rules. All rules and guidelines listed in your student handbook and in the classroom are to be followed in this class. All infractions will result in a 3-point deduction for the conduct/Ethics category. Cheating or Plagiarism Policy: Cheating or plagiarism is dishonest, undermines the necessary trust upon which relations between students and faculty are based, and is unacceptable conduct. Students who engage in cheating or plagiarism will be subject to academic sanctions, including a lowered or failing grade in a course; and the possibility of an additional administrative sanction, including suspension, or expulsion.

2 Makeup Work: All late work has to be completed 2 weeks prior to the end of the grading period, no exceptions. Any work missed due to unexcused absences or tardies will not be allowed to makeup, unless the unexcused is changed to an excused absence or tardy. The two-week rule still applies. There will be NO extra credit opportunities!

“NOTICE” The Engineering classroom and instructor (Mr. Whittenbarger) will be available every Wednesday for 30 minutes immediately after school for those engineering students who wish to work on assignments related to the engineering class. The time and day can change due to instructor schedule conflict.
