Weekday Classes Begin January 13
Week 1: Jan 13-17 Introduction, The engineering method & heuristics, History of Engineering, Chapter 1
HW #1 Engineering Product – Writes a report, and give a short 5 minute presentation on an interesting product that was created by an engineer. The product chosen should be sufficiently complex that it requires advanced engineering skills to build it (in other words, don’t choose something as simple as “a table” to do your report on), but specific enough that a general understanding is possible in a short report (ie, instead of choosing something like an entire airplane, choose only one part of the airplane, like a jet engine, to do your report on.) Use your own words, and reference the internet sites (or books) that you get your information from.

Evaluation
Grades will be based on the following:
Quiz, attendance, & participation 10% -
There will be short quizzes at the beginning of some classes over reading
assignments and previous material covered in class. Coming late will
probably result in getting an F on that day’s quiz.
Homework 30% - Homework includes various writing assignments, computer projects, and other work as specified in class. These are generally individual assignments. 10% per day will be taken off per day for work that is turned in late.
Homework 30% - Homework includes various writing assignments, computer projects, and other work as specified in class. These are generally individual assignments. 10% per day will be taken off per day for work that is turned in late.
Group Project 30% - Throughout the
course you will work on a team project. This will include designing,
constructing, and testing a simple device, writing reports, and giving a
presentation. 10% of this grade will be based on instructor and
team-member evaluations of each individual’s contribution to their group.
Exams (Midterm and Final) 30% Partial credit will
be given, the more work you show, the more credit you will get.
Total points for the course 100%
Letter Grade Assignment
A (90% - 100%), B (80% - 89%), C (70% - 79%), D (60% - 69%), F
(Failed)
Makeup Exams
You are expected to take all of your tests with the class at the
scheduled times. Make-ups are rarely given and are given at my
discretion.
Syllabus Change
While every attempt has been made to prepare this syllabus and
class schedule in final
form, it will be the instructor's prerogative to make any changes
as may be deemed
necessary in order to meet the learning outcomes of the course.

Campus Safety
LSC is committed to maintaining the safety of the students,
faculty, staff, and guests while visiting any of our campuses. Seehttp://www.lonestar.edu/oem.htm for
details. Register at http://lonestar.edu/12803.htm to
receive emergency notifications. In the event of an emergency,
contact LSCS Police at 281-290-5911, or X5911.
Software Piracy
Law strictly prohibits unauthorized copying of software purchased
by Lone Star College
Kingwood for use in laboratories. Lone Star College administration
will take appropriate disciplinary action against anyone violating copyright
laws.
Attendance Policy
Regular and punctual attendance is extremely important
for success in engineering classes.
There are no excused absences. Attendance is mandatory and more than
four (4) partial or full absences might result in a drop. (Partial
absence include tardiness and/or leaving early). If you do miss a
class, it is your responsibility to contact me or another student for
assignments before the next class. Work assigned during your absence
and due the next class meeting is due regardless of prior absences.
-
Classroom Behavior
Cell phones and other electronic devices must be turned off during
class. The Lone Star College Catalog [Student Conduct, Section 562.01d]
states, “Disruptive activity that hinders other students’ learning or deters an
instructor from effective teaching will not be tolerated under any
circumstances.” Examples of disruptive behavior include, but are not
limited to, talking while the instructor is teaching, discussing
non-engineering issues during class, coming to class late, leaving class early,
using profane language, sleeping, using food and/or tobacco products, etc.

Withdraw Policy
http://www.lonestar.edu/conduct.htm
Withdraw Policy
If you are having difficulty that might impact your ability to
complete the course, it is vital that you contact me to discuss your
options. Never attending or ceasing to attend class does not
constitute a withdrawal or drop. You remain registered until you
file a drop/Withdrawal Form by the appropriate deadline. The drop
form requires the instructor’s signature. Failure to act in a timely
manner will result in a grade of “F” for the course. It is the
student’s responsibility to turn in all Drop/withdrawal forms and follow up to
make sure they were processed as desired.
Academic Integrity
LSC will not tolerate cheating or plagiarism. Any student caught cheating or plagiarizing, or aiding another student in cheating or plagiarizing on a quiz or test, will receive a zero for that test or assignment. Students subject to penalty due to academic dishonesty have the right to appeal to the MEES Dean, Shelley Caraway, or Dr. Stephanie Doyen.

Instructor-Initiated Drop
A student may be dropped form the class with an “F” for repeated disruptive behavior or for repeated violations of academic integrity.
Computer Virus
Protection
Computer viruses are, unfortunately, a fact of life. Using the
diskettes on more than one
computer creates the possibility of infecting computers and
diskettes with a computer
virus. This exposes the computers of the campus, your personal
computer, and any others
you may be using to potentially damaging viruses. The campus has
aggressive anti-virus
procedures in place to protect its computers, but cannot guarantee
that a virus might not
temporarily infect one of its machines. It is your responsibility
to protect all computers
under your control and use and ensure that each diskette you use,
whenever or wherever
you use it, has been scanned with anti-virus software. Since new
viruses arise continually,
your anti-virus software must be kept current. And, since no
anti-virus software will find
every virus, keeping copies of data (backups) is extremely
important.
ADA Statement
LSC is dedicated to providing the least restrictive environment
for all students. Any student with a verifiable learning or physical
disability who requires course modification must speak to the instructor in
private regarding the disability. A request for accommodation must
be made through the ADA Counselor, Ms. Coulson-Liebst at 281-312-1453, and
submitted to the instructor no later than the third day of class.
