Attendance. Attendance will be taken. Excessive absenteeism (4 or more times) will result in a
lower grade! Furthermore: The Instructor views class attendance as a mandatory part of any
professional behavior. It is expected that each student view their education as Their Job during this
portion of their career. As engineers, each and every one of us strives to be the Best we can Be, thus
it is imperative that we attend and participate fully in each classroom and lab experience. This, then,
implies that reading assignment be completed before class time, reports and homework be prepared in
advance of due dates and each student be prepared to discuss topics of interest to this class subject
within the classroom and lab.
Assignment Policy: All assignments will receive a point reduction for every class day they are
late. Note: Most assignments are due on Monday!
Make-up and Incomplete Policies: Any make-up will be considered late and have points deducted
accordingly unless extenuating circumstances are evident. Incompletes can be arranged if the student
is unable to complete a major assignment or test due to these circumstances.
Cheating: I consider the copying or use of anothers electronic files to be cheating. If two or more
people turn in identical drawings (even if slightly rearranged), all involved will receive a 0 for the
assignment and be subject to the UMD policy on academic misconduct (See below). Furthermore:
Academic Dishonesty: In the case of writing or drawing, this means you are trying to pass off someone else's
work as your own. To prevent this, don't plagiarize material and be sure to make liberal use of references (which
means you have substantial references and bibliography!). In the case of exams, it is cheating. The penalty for
cheating or plagiarism will be an "F" in the class! Exam are Open Book/Open Notes, however, if any old
examinations are brought to the classroom or any questions are copied during the exam, a severe point
reduction will be taken for that exam.
Academic dishonesty tarnishes UMD's reputation and discredits the accomplishments of students.
UMD is committed to providing students every possible opportunity to grow in mind and spirit. This pledge can
only be redeemed in an environment of trust, honesty, and fairness. As a result, academic dishonesty is
regarded as a serious offense by all members of the academic community. In keeping with this ideal, this course
will adhere to UMD's Student Academic Integrity Policy, which can be found at
www.d.umn.edu/assl/conduct/integrity. This policy sanctions students engaging in academic dishonesty with
penalties up to and including expulsion from the university for repeat offenders.

University's Student Conduct Code

(http://www.d.umn.edu/assl/conduct/code). Appropriate classroom conduct promotes an environment
of academic achievement and integrity. Disruptive classroom behavior that substantially or repeatedly
interrupts either the instructor's ability to teach, or student learning, is prohibited. Disruptive behavior
includes inappropriate use of technology in the classroom. Examples include ringing cell phones, text-
messaging, watching videos, playing computer games, doing email, or surfing the Internet on your
computer instead of note-taking or other instructor-sanctioned activities."
Student Participation: Teams will complete the laboratory work in the production portion of the
course. All successful teams need work together, with everyone contributing, to complete a given task.
Students should be aware that a number of points toward the final grade are awarded by reviewing
your performance in the lab.
Disabilities. Individuals who have any disability, either permanent or temporary, which might affect
their ability to perform in this class are encouraged to inform the instructor at the start of the semester.
Adaptation of methods, materials, or testing may be made as required to provide for equitable
participation.
