Lecture Section 1 – Monday    1 to 2:50, Room 144 Russ Engineering
     Lecture Section 2 – Cancelled  
     Lab Sections as scheduled

This is the second course of two that serves as an introduction to various aspects of engineering and computer science. It is intended for the beginning engineering and computer science student and those interested but undecided. Students with 45 or more college credit hours are not permitted in this course without permission.

There are three goals for this course:
  1. To introduce students to eight engineering & computer science disciplines,
  2. Foster collaboration among students through a cooperative team project,
  3. Establish a sense of community among first-year students,

The course consists of one weekly lecture and one weekly lab either computer based lab or instrumentation based. The student will have the opportunity to learn about the basic engineering disciplines of biomedical, electrical and mechanical engineering, specialty areas of materials and engineering physics and two computer related areas of computer engineering and computer science. Weekly laboratories will provide opportunities for on-hands experience in each area. 

This is a pass/fail course. Passing means that you have:
  1.  Attended the lectures,
  2.  Preformed the lab assignments,
  3.  Completed team assignments
  4.  Actively participated in all activities.. 

You are expected to participate actively in lecture, labs and with your classmates on team assignments. Active participation is judged through timely attendance and observation by the course professor and teaching assistants. You will be provided corrective feedback if your participation is unacceptable. Failure to be an active participant will result in an "F" for the course. 

You may ask your professor or teaching assistant how you are doing at any time.
Expectations for each lab will be provided at the time of the lab.

Lectures
  1. Lectures are worth 2.5 points each.
  2. Missed lectures are worth zero points.
  3. Excused lectures are worth 1.5 points.

Labs & Projects
 Each Lab assignment and  team  assignments will be graded on a 0 to 3 scale system.
  1. Failure to do work will receive a zero.
  2. An absence will receive a zero.
  3. An excused absence will receive a 1.5.
  3. Work below expectations will receive a 1.
  4. Work that meets expectations will receive a 2.
  5. Work beyond expectations will receive a 3.
  6. Late work will be accepted, but the earned grade will be reduced one point.
  7. An average of 2 is required to pass each section:
        a. lecture,
        b. lab,
        c. team assignments.

  1. To get the most benefit from this course 100% attendance is desirable.
  2. You will not pass this course if you have more than 2 unexcused absences in lecture or lab.
  3. You may have 2 excused absences but the total for excused and unexcused may not exceed 3.
  4. An excused absence, as determined by the course professor, may be for documented cause or medical necessity.

Lab Make Up:

If there is space available, you may make up a lab during another scheduled lab period.
