Lab Projects may include: Engineering Economy, Cost evaluation, Group Technology, Resource Assignment, Forecasting, Material Handling, Storage, Project Control, and Critical Path Method. III. Course Objectives To prepare the student in the exploration of manufacturing processes and materials, selection of processes, labor assignment, material handling, robotics, and automation. Apply knowledge to future courses to research technical literature, formulate and solve technical problems. IV. Attendance: Attendance is mandatory. Points will be taken off from the grade for non-legitimate absences. Legitimate absences are the ones beyond of your control and the claims should be supported by appropriate proof. Student is responsible for any missed class using the class notes and book. Instructor cannot repeat the lecture during the next class or during office hour for absent students. Attendance is mandatory for all exams. An absence from an exam will result in a zero grade for that exam. A written proof is needed for eligibility for a make-up exam. V. Study and Preparation: For every one credit hour course, you will have to spend at least 2 hours per week study outside of classroom to achieve a satisfactory grade. VI. Withdrawal: If you decide that you do not want to be in this course any longer, you must complete an official withdrawal form. If you simply stop attending, you will receive “F” as a grade. VII. Grades/Means of Evaluation: Evaluations and learning assessments other than examinations will be utilized. Attendance and class participation, home works, and lab reports, are considered. Class participation means: a) contributing to cooperative learning groups, b) contributing to whole-class discussion, c) no inappropriate talking or distracting others, d) limiting participation so others have a chance. Three exams will be given in this course. Homework is due one week after being assigned. Lab work will supplement the course contents. Lab report is required for each experiment/project. The reports will be graded and averaged for the final grade. Late homework may not be accepted and are subjected to 20% grade reduction. Course average will be translated into a letter grade. 90 or above A 80-89 B 70-79 C 60-69 D Below 60 F A grade breakdown for class is given as: Class participation, attitude, class discipline, Diversity, and attendance 10% Homework 20% Project (Lab) participation, discipline, and reports/notes 30% Tests, Quizzes 40% Total 100% There is no extra credit in this course. If you have any condition, such as a physical or mental disability, which will make it difficult for you to carry out the work as outlined or if you will require extra time on examinations, please notify the instructor in the first two weeks of the course so that appropriate arrangements may be made. VIII. Student Conduct: An atmosphere of respect and trust in the classroom is essential to achieve the best results. Excessive talking, eating, and drinking in the class is prohibited. Please turn off your cell phone, pager, and beeper watch. Avoid audible and visible signs of restlessness. Doing work for another class is unacceptable. Show respect and concern for others by not monopolizing class discussion. Please come to class on time and do not leave early. Do not pack book bags or backpacks to leave until the instructor has dismissed the class. Students who persist in their disruptive behavior will be reported to the department and the Dean of Students. Students with disruptive conduct will be asked to leave the class. Those students will be marked absent and a zero will be given to the attendance portion of their grades. A different grade breakdown will be used for disruptive students with a higher portion of grade for attendance. Cheating will not be tolerated for homework, and tests. Zero and a failing grade might be given to students whose cheating can be verified. This will be for those who took the answers and those who provided them. The maximum grade for students with a disruptive behavior in the class and those who cheated would be limited to a lower number such as 60, if a failing grade can not be justified. IX. General Objectives of this Course 1. A concerted effort will be made to motivate the students. Instructor will provide helpful examples and illustrations to clarify the material. Students are greatly encouraged to participate in discussions, and ask questions. Instructor will be glad to provide appropriate advisement for students during regularly scheduled office hours. 2. The course will provide students with alternative ways to learn the material such as discussions, videos and individual conferences. Students are encouraged to use the library resources to complete their learning assignments. 3. Students should practice their spoken and written communication skills by writing descent technical reports and class discussions. 4. Every attempt will be made to follow the course syllabus and have a planned and organized class. Grading policy will be done according to the procedure.
