CLASS POLICIES:

(1) Attendance

Attendance is required. Attendance will be checked by the Student Assistant. To facilitate

efficient checking of attendance, everyone will have their permanent seat for the whole
semester.

• If you are not able to come to class for reasons that are not valid, it will be considered an
UNEXCUSED ABSENCE (UNEX). Absences may be excused (EX) provided that a letter/certificate
stating why you were absent is submitted (to your instructor) WITHIN ONE WEEK of the
student’s return to class. Valid reasons include sickness, being sent to a competition
(representing the university), death of an immediate family member, etc. Validity of reasons will
be judged by the instructor if other cases arise.

• If you arrive 40 MINUTES after the class has officially started, you will be marked ABSENT
(40A).

• If you incur more than 6 absences (UNEX + 40A only), you will be given a 5.0 unless you are
able to drop the course on or before April 20, 2016 (Wed) in which case you will be given a DRP.

(2) Intellectual Dishonesty

Intellectual Dishonesty (From 2014 Student Code of Conduct)

Intellectual dishonesty is any fraudulent act performed by a student to achieve academic

advantage or gain for oneself or others, including but not limited to:

1. Copying or providing the means to copy a classmate’s exam answers, homework,

laboratory experiments, etc.;
2. Allowing a classmate to copy from one’s own exam answers, homework, laboratory
experiments, etc.;
3. Possession and/or use of cheat devices during an examination;
4. Plagiarism, which shall be defined as the taking and using of another person’s ideas,
writings, inventions and similar intellectual products as one’s own without knowledge,
consent and/or accreditation;
5. Deception, which shall be defined as providing false information concerning an academic
activity;
6. Allowing another person to take an examination in one’s name, and/or impersonating
another student or allowing someone to impersonate oneself in an academic activity;
7. Manipulating a corrected exam paper; and
8. Any other form of cheating or any act of dishonesty in relation to academic activity.

Any student found guilty of committing intellectual dishonesty will be

penalized in accordance with prevailing university rules and
regulations.
 (3) Evaluation

The final grade will be computed based on the following:

COURSE REQUIREMENT WEIGHT *max of 44% (i.e. 4% extra) if

group/individual exceeds points from
Average of class projects 40%*
projects.
Quizzes 20%
Long Exam 1 20% Quiz = 5% from each subtopic; may be
Long Exam 2 20% announced or unannounced

 Class project average has an upper limit of 44% (4% extra). Scores of all projects
are added and the rating is computed after. (i.e., excess bonus points from one
project may provide points for another project)

 Quizzes are computed for each subtopic (5% each subtopic). The ratings are
computed for each subtopic before combining to get a total of 20% (i.e., bonus from
a quiz under a certain subtopic will only affect the rating for that subtopic and will
not “overflow” to the other subtopics’ quiz rating).

 A missed quiz may be replaced by the Long Exam rating (considering only the part
of LE under the subtopic of missed quiz) if there is a valid reason for missing the
quiz, otherwise, it will be graded zero (0)

 A missed Long Exam may be replaced by the Special Exam at the end of the
semester provided that the student missed it due to a valid reason (related
documents should be submitted; ex. Medical certificate, Letter from coach/adviser
for competitions), otherwise it will be graded zero (0). The Special Exam can only
replace 1 Long Exam therefore, if a student misses 2 Long Exams with both valid
excuses, the other Long Exam will be given a score of ZERO (0).

 Special Exam covers all topics regardless of the long exam missed. Schedule and
details will be provided on or before the Long Exam 2 Schedule.

(4) Grading scale

Final Grade Equivalent Final Grade Equivalent Final Grade Equivalent

92-100 1.00 80-84 1.75 68-72 2.50
88-92 1.25 76-80 2.00 64-68 2.75
84-88 1.50 72-76 2.25 60-64 3.00

Grade < 60% is 5.00; No grade of 4.0 will be given.

Detailed Project Objectives (General and Specific)

The projects are intended to apply the concepts learned for a subtopic. The project
specifications were carefully planned in such a way that the students will be challenged to come
up with an engineering structure which is not only aesthetically pleasing but also optimization
of the design.

The project limitations are set in order to give the students a first-hand experience of an actual
engineering scenario by which the engineers are generally limited by:
(1) Time (i.e. the group will only be given one to two meetings to finish a project);
(2) Resources (e.g. maximum of 40 grams to design a tower); and
(3) People to deal with (i.e. group mates).

The General Objectives of the projects are:

(1) Develop small group leadership and membership skills when working together on projects.
(2) Integrate knowledge and communication skills, both written and oral.
(3) Apply engineering mechanics principles in synthesizing solutions to engineering design
problems.
(4) Evaluate and analyze solutions to engineering design problems during project testing.

All group projects will be graded using the criteria set by the instructor supervising the project.

To reflect the relative contributions/participation of each member, all group members will
grade all members of the group (self included). Each member must submit a MODIFICATION
GRADE (MOD) SHEET where they distribute 100 points to the members.

The MOD of all group members will be compiled to compute the MODIFICATION FACTOR (MF)
of each member. This MF (for each member) will be multiplied to the group’s project score to
get that member’s project score. The MF has an upper limit of 1.1. The MF will be computed as
follows:

**If the group’s project was given a score of 100,

GRADER MF = SUM/100 Member’s
