I reserve the right to adjust your grades. Your grade will only improve if adjustments
are necessary. Feel free to contact me
during office hours or by appointment if you have grade-related questions or
concerns.
COURSE GOALS:
Enable
you to understand, appreciate and apply the fundamental
principles governing incompressible fluids.
Fluids surround and affect everything in the physical world,
consequently every major project you will be participating in as an engineer
requires a sound understanding of the material covered in this course. This course represents a stepping stone in
your professional development; it is intended to aid you in developing the
skills you will need for systematic decomposition and solution of real-world
problems.
IN CLASS PARTICIPATION:
Please
bring your text, printed notes, a calculator, and piece of paper to each class. You will be
participating in the solution and discussion with in-class example
problems. You will work in small groups
while solving these problems. Each group will hand in their attempt to solve
the problem with each member’s signature on the paper. Simply attempting the solution will result in
full participation credit for the day. These in-class exercises will require
that you complete the assigned readings
prior to the beginning of each class.
Note that participation counts for 5% of
your grade. You are encouraged to
develop notes binders which will simplify and organize your preparation for
quizzes and will also serve as a nice “course reference” for future.
ON-LINE CLASS PARTICIPATION:
All
course emails and web postings will be made using the ANGEL course management
software. You will need to regularly
login (https://cms.psu.edu/frameIndex.htm)
to check course announcements, download in-class example solutions, and access
posted homework solutions.
Important: When you 1st login
into the system you must configure “My Settings” to forward course emails to
your primary email account as follows:
Step 1: Login into system
Step 2: Click “My Settings”
Step 3: Click “System Settings”
Step
4: Type your PSU Email under “Forwarding Address” and set “Forwarding Mode” as shown below:

Step 5: Click “Save”.
You now should receive all course announcements in your
primary email account as well as your ANGEL account.
HOMEWORK:
Homework
will be assigned bi-weekly and is due at the beginning of class on the Tuesday of the subsequent week. Late homework will not be accepted. You are encouraged to discuss problems with
other students. However the work you turn in must be your own.
Each
assignment requires:
·
Your name(s) on
each page of stapled solutions
·
A legible
step-by-step presentation (in pencil)
of the solutions (include problem
diagrams)
·
Boxed answers
presented in proper units
Solutions
will be posted after your assignments have been collected.
QUIZZES:
This course has no exams. Quizzes will be given in
class on the dates listed below. You
will be allowed one-side of a 3 in by 5 in note card as a crib sheet for each
quiz. Make up quizzes will not be
given. In extreme cases, a quiz grade
will be replaced by the average of your grades on the remaining quizzes (proof
of illness or emergency will be required).
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
The University's statement on
academic integrity, from which the following statement is drawn, is available
at http://www.psu.edu/dept/oue/aappm/G-9.html
Academic integrity is the pursuit of
scholarly activity in an open, honest and responsible manner. Academic
integrity is a basic guiding principle for all academic activity at The
Pennsylvania State University, and all members of the University community are
expected to act in accordance with this principle. Consistent with this
expectation, the University's Code of Conduct states that all students should
act with personal integrity, respect other students' dignity, rights and
property, and help create and maintain an environment in which all can succeed
through the fruits of their efforts. All students are expected to act with
civility, personal integrity; respect other students' dignity, rights and
property; and help create and maintain an environment in which all can succeed
through the fruits of their own efforts.
An environment of academic integrity is requisite to respect for self
and others and a civil community. Academic integrity includes a commitment to
not engage in or tolerate acts of falsification, misrepresentation or deception. Such acts of dishonesty include cheating or
copying, plagiarizing, submitting another persons' work as one's own, using
Internet sources without citation, fabricating field data or citations,
"ghosting" (taking or having another student take an exam), stealing
examinations, tampering with the academic work of another student, facilitating
other students' acts of academic dishonesty, etc. Students charged with a
breach of academic integrity will receive due process and, if the charge is
found valid, academic sanctions may range, depending on the severity of the
offense, from F for the assignment to F for the course.
