Course web page can be accessed under college web page or directly via Internet address www.eng.fsu/~shih/eml3013/eml3013.htm. All relevant information can be found in the web page.

PREREQUISITES:

This course requires that you have taken and passed (with a C or better) the following courses: PHY 3048, Physics I; MAC 3312, Calculus II; MAC 3311, Calculus I, MAP 3305, Engineering Math I. If you have not passed these courses, you are not prepared for this course and the instructor has the right to drop you from the course.

Homeworks:

Each student will be assigned to a group of 3. Each group will only need to submit one set of homework solutions. (See the attached sheet for details on group homework policies.) NO CREDIT will be given for late homework. Homework solutions will be provided soon after the problem set is due.

DETAILS: Homework is to be written on 8.5" x 1" paper - ONE SIDE only. One problem per page. Pages must be stapled together. No credit will be given for homework that does not comply with these details.

Grading Assignment:

• Homework ...10 %
• Quizzes .......15%
• Project ........10%
• 3 tests .........40%, scheduled, Highest two count 15 % Each
• Final ........... 25%

Grading Scale:

90 - 100 A; 80 - 89 B; 70 - 79 C; 60 - 69 ;D 0 - 59 F

Departmental policy is that a grade of C or better is required to pass this course.

ATTENDANCE:

Attendance is mandatory and always be ON TIME. Unexcused absence(s) will adversely affect your final grade at instructor's discretion. In accordance with the policies of the universities, students with more than 3 UNEXCUSED ABSENCES will receive an automatic F. Excuses must be turned in to the instructor within two weeks of the absence.

CHEATING

Students caught cheating on an exam or quiz will receive an F for the class.

GROUP PROJECTS 10%

Each group will be responsible for formulating, designing and building a dynamical system that illustrates concepts from the course. The project will be formulated using the design principles learned in Introduction to Mechanical Engineering. Design details and project suggestions will be provided later.

QUIZZES 15%

Each student is responsible for answering the questions in the required reading material section in webpage, The purpose of the reading assignment is to encourage self learning, eliminate unnecessary class lectures, and allow class time to be more focused on problem solving (which students always ask for). The quizzes will be primarily based on questions from the reading material. It is important to keep your reading assignment current to increase your performance on the quizzes and so that you will be able to follow the classroom lectures and problem solutions. Quizzes will be given each week an exam is not given. However, the instructor reserves the right to give additional quizzes There will be NO MAKEUPS for missed quizzes. All quizzes are closed book; necessary formulas will be provided.

EXAMS 15%, 15%, 10%

In addition to quizzes, there will be 3 scheduled in-class exams: No makeup exams will be given. All exams are closed book; necessary formulas will be provided. The highest 2 grades will count 15% each while the lowest counts 10% toward your final grade;

FINAL EXAM 25%

A comprehensive final exam is scheduled at August 6, 1:30-3:30 pm. The final exam is closed book; necessary formulas will be provided.
