ITWM CE 303: Strength of Materials Fall 2013
Design Projects
Two design problems will be assigned. For both of these, you are required to follow the
technical guidelines for preparing a well-organized report of a few pages plus appendix.
Sketches, along with critical dimensions must be included. The report must address the
objectives, constraints and the process used to arrive at the final design. The report should be
typed and the figures either computer drawn or neatly sketched. Include all the relevant
calculations in the appendix. The design projects will be discussed and graded at the
discussion/lab sections.
Other Requirements:
Please treat all members of the class with courtesy and respect. Disrespect on the basis of race,
religion, gender/sexual orientation, or special needs will not be tolerated. Please notify the
instructor if you require any special accommodations (please certify through the Student
Accessibility Center), or if you have any concerns. All students are expected to adhere to
UWM's standards of academic integrity: http:/iwww.uwrn.edulDept/OSl/DOS/conduct.html.
Class Preparation:
Students should bring the course text, a calculator, a ruler, a pencil, and an eraser to each class
session. Various colored pencils and graph paper may also be helpful.
Laptop use in class:
Laptop computers may certainly be used in class for note taking and calculations. Other uses, not
related to what is currently happening in class, such as checking email and playing games is not
allowed.
Additional notes
You have your predecessors to thank for this comprehensive Iist
1. Read the entire syllabus. You are expected to know all the logistical details it contains. If it
does not state that the lowest grade will be dropped from the final average, then the lowest
grade will not be dropped from the final average,
2. You should read the text, you should listen to the lectures, you should solve the MecMovie
homework problems. If you hope to pass this class, however, there is no substitute for
solving problems with pencil, paper, and calculator on your own from scratch. That is exactly
what will be required on all exams, and you have little hope of success without a lot of
practice under similar conditions.
3. In order to receive full credit, any answers must:
a. include the correct units
b. be correct to three significant digits. It is usually necessary to carry 4 or more coffect
digits through sub-calculations to produce 3 correct digits in the final result. While
good engineering practice may limit the number of valid digits in an answer based on
limited precision in measured input values, the point of this course is learning correct
methods of solving these problems, and 3 correct digits are often necessary to detect
subtle but impor-tant mistakes that might have been made in solving such problems.

c. show the work necessary to produce it. (Just numbers without support calculations
cannot receive any credit. The subject matter of this class is the techniques used to
solve these problems, not the solutions to the problems themselves.)
4. In order to receive any partial credit a problem must show both correct partial results and a
recognizable systematic solution method so that the error can be found and appropriate lesser
penalty assessed.
5. All submitted work must be neat and legible, either typed or in pencil with mistakes erased.
Pages with sloppy writing or crossed out work will not be accepted. A11 submitted work must
be on straighredged paper. Paper tom from a notebook with ragged edges will not be
accepted. All submitted work of more than a single page must be be stapled in the upper left
corner, unless otherwise specified. Multiple loose pages, except for exams and quizzes, or
pages connected by some kind of folding technique will not be accepted. If such work does
somehow, inadvertently end up being collected, such as in a stack of homework assignments
from an entire class, their grade will not be recorded once the deficiency is recognized.
6. On preprinted assignments that provide a space for your answer, you must write your answer
in the space provided for that question. If the question asks for an equation, you must write
the equation in the space provided. Writing the number or the equation correctly elsewhere,
as part of the answer to some other question, will not be considered.
7. Although there are multiple section of the same class, students are not welcome to attend
sections in which they are not enrolled without first asking for and receiving permission
before both sections in question: the one in which they are enrolled and the one that they
wish to attend. This is especially true for laboratories, examinations, and other grading
opportunities. Similarly, work assigned during class time, such as lab work, must be worked
on during that class time, and without prior approval cannot simply be skipped and then
made up later.
8. If you have not been meeting with me regularly throughout the semester to ensure that you
get the grade you want, do not even ask me about the possibility of changing your grade after
I post them at the end of the semester. At that point, it is exactly too late to do anything about
it, and, I will not even respond to your query.
9. Use of headphones, earbuds, or any other equipment that is worn to transmit sound into the
ears is not permitted in class at any time, unless required to alleviate a documented hearing
deficiency.
10. Use of mobile phones, tablets, notebook computers, desktop computers, or any other
equipment with documentation display or communications capabilities is not permitted
during any qurz, test, exam, or other in-class grade opporlunity. If you need help with
arithmetic during these times, make sure you bring a dedicated calculator.
1 1. The material in this course is difficult. Students that struggle with statics or dynamics tend to
continue to have trouble with strength of materials.
