Learning Objectives: Be able to
(1) calculate forces in equilibrium via basic concepts,
(2) calculate distributed forces and frictional forces, and
(3) calculate inertial properties. Students are expected to utilize the skills for applications, such as machines, structures and systems.

Grading:

Many in-class activities = 10%
10 Homeworks = 15%
Test 1 on Date = 25%
Test 2 on Date = 25%
Final on Date = 25%

 

Grade Distribution:

97% -100% = A+ 94% -96% = A 90% -93% = A- 87% -89% = B+ 84% -86% = B 80% -83% = B-
77% -79% = C+ 74% -76% = C 70% -73% = C- 67% -69% = D+ 64% -66% = D 60% -63% = D-
0% -59% = F

 

Policies, Regulations, and Rules:

  • All homework papers are required to be stapled in the upper left-hand corner (failing to do so will result in a zero grade) and turned in before 3pm. Homeworks will not be accepted late.
  • Attendance in class is required. Make-up work will be available only for excused absences and a written request with explanation will be required. It must be arranged within two weeks of the due date at the option of the instructor, prior to two weeks before the end of classes.
  • Requests for test regrading should be within one week after the tests are returned. A written request with explanation will be required.
  • Students are expected to be familiar with the University policy on Academic Integrity.
  • An Honor Pledge is expected to be signed and dated on each test, final exam, and any additional special assignments. The Honor pledge will be as follows: ”I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this test, exam or special assignment. I have not discussed the contents of this test or exam prior to taking it.”
  • Reasonable accommodations will be made for students with verifiable disabilities.

I have read the syllabus for MAE 206 and understood the policies, regulations, and rules.
