Course Description This course introduces the computational skills and exposure to software required by engineers in their profession including technical word-processing, spreadsheets, presentation graphics, computer-aided drafting (CAD), procedural programming, and software-design methodology. Team design projects are an integral component of the course.
Prerequisites – new MATH 1593 or Concurrent enrollment in MATH 1593.
Textbook
Objectives The student will be able to Demonstrate understanding of the engineering design process. Demonstrate the ability to use EXCEL to solve scientific and engineering problems. Create a VBA program that performs a simple engineering analysis. Create technical reports using Word. Create and present technical presentations using Powerpoint. Use the department's computing resources including Word with equation editor, Powerpoint, Excel including VBA, MATLAB, MAPLE, and CAD software. Demonstrate experience in the basics of procedural programming. Show how to approach engineering problems with appropriate computational tools. Apply the design process in a team environment to a specified project. Demonstrate understanding of the use of orthographic projections. Demonstrate understanding of basic drawing symbols for commonly encountered equipment and processes.
Instruction Techniques Lecture will be used predominantly although sometimes recitation periods will be employed.
Class Polices Attendance is not required, but you will responsible for any announcements or notes from class (and quizzes).
Exam attendance is mandatory for all exams.
Cheating or academic dishonesty of any kind will not be tolerated.
Homework Working HW problems in a timely manner is the best way to do well on exams and in the class as a whole. Homework is due at the beginning of the class period on the due-date or due-day. Homework should be neatly written on only one side of your paper, folded length-wise with your name written on the outside of the folded pages before turning it in. Each problem should fit all of the following criteria: clearly labeled, one problem per sheet of paper, legible and organized. HW papers that do not fit these criteria will be penalized accordingly. See the attached HW Format section for details on the presentation of HW problems.
Each HW problem you turn in is worth ten points. Some problems will be graded on detailed solutions and others will be graded on effort. I will not tell you ahead of time which or how many problems will be graded relative to a detailed solution, but on the returned and graded HW paper a check mark next to the problem number will indicate full effort (or ten points) and a numerical score (e.g. 8/10) next to the problem number will be used on those problems under more scrutiny.
Grading Policies The following table shows the breakdown of credit for the course.
