COURSE EXPECTATIONS AND EVALUATION:

1. EXAMINATION: 3 tests including a comprehensive final exam (see the calendar)

2. HOMEWORK will be assigned on a regular basis. Each homework problem must have three sections of GIVEN, REQUIRED, and SOLUTION and each problem is to start on a separate page. It is strongly encouraged that you use engineering pads for your homework. HW will be evaluated by means of the homework checks and tests.

4.There will be a policy of NO MAKE UP WORK. If you have to miss an assigned work, you should consult with the instructor prior to being absent or immediately after you return to class. Otherwise, it is understood that you will get a grade of zero for that assignment.

5.Academic Integrity Policy see

6.Labs are conducted on weekly basis. It is expected that you will be present during the designated laboratory time. Otherwise, you will receive a grade of zero for that assignment.

Mission, Objectives, and Outcomes of the Composite Materials Engineering Department

The missionof the CME program is “To develop creative minds and innovation in the field of composite materials through education, applied research, and scholarly pursuits in collaboration with the composites industry and community.”

The Educational Objectives of the CME Program are to prepare graduates to become engineers who:

1. Apply their knowledge and expertise to develop innovative and effective solutions for the composites industry.

2. Communicate and work effectively in diverse environments.

3. Grow and develop professionally.

The student outcomes of the CME program are demonstrated by students who have attained:

  1. an understanding of the fundamentals of mathematics, science, and engineering science and their application in engineering. (a)
  2. the ability to identify, formulate, model and solve engineering problems (e*)
  3. the ability to use state-of-the-art engineering tools (experimental, computational, and statistical) necessary to select, analyze, design, fabricate, and test materials. (k*)
  4. the ability to design and conduct experiments as well as to analyze and interpret data related to structure, properties, processing, and performance of materials. (b*)
  5. the theoretical knowledge and hands-on ability to confidently design components, systems, and processes to meet the needs of the composites industry within a set of realistic constraints including economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability. (c)
  6. the ability to communicate effectively in oral, written and visual forms. (g*)
  7. the ability to work effectively in a team environment. (d*)
  8. an understanding of the proper response to ethical issues and their responsibility to the engineering profession. (f)
  9. an understanding of the impact of their engineering decisions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context. (h)
  10. knowledge of contemporary issues. (j)
  11. recognition of the importance of sustaining this knowledge through life-long learning. (i)

* Course will address this outcome.
