Course Objectives: This course is designed to help students develop an understanding and appreciation of engineering, the problems solved and contributions made by engineers from various disciplines, and the engineering design process. Students will learn and practice fundamental skills useful to engineering students and professional engineers in many fields. In addition, students will develop their study skills and improve their understanding of material in their technical courses during the teamwork portion of the course.� This course is divided into two segments:� (1) Basic Skills and ( 2) Hands-on Laboratory.

 

Basic Skills:� During the two one-hour sessions each week on Basic Skills, students will be introduced to skills important to most engineers and given an opportunity to practice those skills.� Homework assignments will be made in each session and will be due on the date indicated on the syllabus. Each session�s assignment is worth a maximum of 20 points if turned in on time and 14 points if turned in by the beginning of the next session.� Papers received more than one session late will be marked but will not earn credit. One mid-term exam and one final exam will be given.� Exams are given closed book, closed notes, closed outside resources.� Note: No food or beverages are allowed in the classrooms.

 

In the one-hour Teamwork session, students will work in groups on Basic Skills, Lab Reports or Pre-Labs or on topics from their Math and Chemistry. The Teaching Assistant and Peer Mentors will move among the groups, coaching students on approaches to the problems, helping students to understand important concepts, and suggesting useful references as needed. Topics for group discussion may be concepts presented in one of the technical courses or assigned problems from those courses.

 

Hands-On Laboratory:� Each week students will attend one 2-hour Hands-on Laboratory session. For the first 5 weeks, the laboratories will include activities related to the design, performance, and components of a one-time-use camera. The second 5 weeks, students will be working with a bicycle. During the laboratory sessions, students will perform a variety of hands-on activities including disassembling and reassembling objects, testing components, and collecting and analyzing data.� Homework assignments will include gathering additional information from the internet or library, solving problems related to the lab work, and preparing lab reports. Students will also prepare and present an oral report. Each assignment will be graded. A few questions on important concepts covered in the laboratories will be included on the final exam.� Teams can assemble during the Teamwork portion of the course on Wednesday to work on group lab reports or Pre-Lab study.

 

The contribution of each course segment to the overall course grade is as follows:

����������� Basic Skills������������������������������������� ����������� 40%

����������� ���� Daily assignments ��������������������������������� 20%

����������� ���� Midterm exam��� � ����������������������������������� 20%

����������� Hands-on Laboratory������������������ ����������� 30%

Attendance is mandatory for all components (Basic Skills, Teamwork and Hands-On Laboratory).� Students are subject to losing points for absences unless prior approval is obtained from your Basics Instructor or Teaching Assistant.

 

Academic Misconduct such as cheating or plagiarism will be reported using official University procedures.� Policies and procedures can be found in a Synopsis of the Code of Student Conduct included in each quarter�s Master Schedule Book.� The Code of Conduct is printed in the Student Handbook and Student Telephone Directory.� Copies may be obtained from the Office of Student Judicial Affairs, 2050 Drake Union.

 

Students with Disabilities:� Course materials and exercises can be made available in alternative formats.� Please contact the instructor or the Office for Disability Services (292-3307) for further information.

 

Course Materials:� The following materials are required for this course:

�        Introduction to Engineering - I Materials Package

�        Introduction to Engineering � I Course Book Packet*(available at the OSU bookstore)

�        Floppy disks - 3.5� High Density disks.

�        Mechanical pencil, eraser, 6� scale (inches and metric) - sold as a group in a blue pocket protector at the OSU Bookstore.

�        A Kodak MAX Flash One-Time-Use Camera

�        There are two versions of the Book Packet.� One version (with 3 textbooks) is for students who took ENG 194.09 and who have already purchased one of the four required textbooks.� The other version (with four textbooks) is for students who did not take ENG 194.09.� Be sure to check at the bookstore for the correct version.
