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:

Forwarding Mode

 

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.
