Education, 2013. Class Web Site: The class web site is http://www.engineering.uiowa.edu/~water. The web

site contains lesson objectives, reading assignments, class handouts, and homework assignments. To prepare for each class period, you will need to (1) review the lesson plan, (2) do the reading assignments, and (3) make copies of handouts to bring to class.

ICON: ICON will be used for quizzes, to post grades, and to distribute certain

course material and documents to students enrolled in the course. Course materials and documents are proprietary information.

They are for your individual use only. They may not be redistributed (in an original or modified form) under any circumstances without prior consent of the Instructor.

Email: Late-breaking announcements and homework hints will occasionally be

emailed to all students at your university account (as it appears on ICON).

You are responsible for receiving any and all information sent to

your university email address, just as if the information had been

given in class.

Grading: Homework 20 % Lab / Project Reports 15 % Exams 65 % Total 100 % Attendance: Class attendance is not mandatory. Students who choose to attend

class are expected to arrive on time, stay until the class is dismissed, and behave in a professional manner. Use of smartphones, cell phones, wireless devices, and portable audio devices (e.g., MP3 players) is NOT permitted in class. Use of laptop computers and tablets is NOT permitted in class (except in limited circumstances with prior approval from the instructor). Students who continue to use prohibited devices in class will have them confiscated, or be restricted from attending lecture.

Lab attendance is mandatory. You must attend the lab section

that you are registered in to receive credit for attendance. Students with an unexcused absence from their lab section will receive a zero for their Lab/Project Reports grade.

For permission to be absent from a scheduled class activity (e.g., examination, laboratory) to participate in authorized University activities, students must present before the absence a written statement signed by a responsible official specifying exactly the dates and times necessary for them to miss class. Students who are absent for medical or personal reasons are expected to present written evidence to verify the reason (an Absence from Class Form from http://www.registrar.uiowa.edu and other relevant documentation). If excused, the instructor will set a revised schedule for class work.

Homework: The homework grade is based on (1) online ICON quizzes, (2) written homework assignments, and (3) in-class quizzes and assignments.

Online ICON quiz problems are short multiple choice questions. They are

intended as practice for the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam. The quizzes are posted on ICON for each lesson, and cover material from that days lesson. Students will have 7 days to complete the assigned quiz; no late submissions will be accepted. The lowest 10% of individual quiz scores will be dropped from the overall quiz grade (i.e., ~2 quiz scores which may include 0 scores will be dropped).

Homework assignments are posted on the class web site with each lesson.

Students will have 7 days to complete the assigned problems. Students must follow the Homework Guidelines to receive credit for their assignment. Each homework assignment must be turned in on time; any homework received after the start of class on the due date is late and will not be accepted. The lowest 10% of individual homework program scores will be dropped from the overall written homework grade (i.e., ~3 homework problem scores which may include 0 scores will be dropped).

Homework problems are graded on the following basis:

1) 50% of the problem grade is based on effort. A problem that is completed, and conforms to the Homework Guidelines, will receive full credit.

2) 50% of the problem grade is based on the solution. Correct solutions

receive full credit; no credit is given for incorrect solutions. On problems where no solution credit is given, students may resubmit their solutions. Resubmissions are due before class one week after the homework is returned; students receive half-credit for correct solutions on resubmitted problems. Resubmissions must be done on a separate sheet of paper and attached to the first submission. Late assignments may not be resubmitted for half-credit.

Unannounced quizzes may be given during class. Quizzes will be short (5 to

10 minutes) and cover material from recent homework assignments or material from class that day. Other individual or group problem-solving assignments may also be given in class. Quizzes and in-class assignments count towards the homework grade.

Collaboration: Collaboration is not allowed on ICON quizzes. Working on a quiz in

a group, discussing the content of quizzes with others, and giving (or receiving) a copy of the quiz questions/solutions, are cheating. Students who cheat on ICON quizzes will receive a zero for their Homework grade.

Students are encouraged to discuss homework assignments and analysis

approaches to gain a deeper understanding. However, homework submissions must represent a student's independent effort. Put another way, students may collaborate by discussing homework problems and working out solutions together; but when preparing the document that will be submitted for a grade (a homework submission), each student must work independently. Copying someone's homework, sharing copies of figures or tables or spreadsheets with others, and giving (or receiving) a copy of someone's homework (a paper or electronic version), are all examples of cheating. Students who cheat will be disciplined according to the College of Engineering's regulations on Academic Misconduct.

Laboratory: Project laboratory experiments will be performed at the facilities of IIHR.

Experiments will be conducted by groups of students. Afterwards, project teams will meet and work together to prepare a project report. Projects may require a meeting with consultants at the Hanson Center for Technical Communication (CTC). Team grades will be assigned to individual members, with adjustments made based on self-evaluation by the members.

Computer Usage: Certain homework and laboratory assignments require that engineering

drawings be prepared using AutoCAD. Other assignments will require specialized engineering software. The ECS Computer Lab systems contain all the software required for this course.

Homework Guidelines

General Guidelines The engineering problem solving approach will be used in this class for all homework submissions. The specific format to use is described below. Your homework submission is meant to document an engineering problem and its solution. Equations and numbers alone are insufficient to document the problem and solution. Instead, you need to describe the problem (in sentences) and the steps in the solution so that another engineer can follow the work. Also, your submission is meant to represent your final solution. Use scratch paper to figure out how to solve the problem. Afterwards, document the problem and solution on your homework submission in an orderly and professional manner. Homework assignments must be neat and legible. Use may use engineering paper or the Microsoft Word Template for your submission. Solutions must be clearly marked (underline and label). Sketches and figures must done on computer (AutoCAD) or hand-drawn using a straight-edge. Plots and graphs may be done using a computer, when appropriate. Assignments that are messy, or do not follow the format shown below, will be returned for no credit. [Instructor Note: One continuous complaint from consulting engineers is that new graduates can no longer produce acceptable calculation sheets. Time is money in engineering. Calculations will be checked by colleagues or supervisors and therefore must be clear, thorough and presentable.] Specific Format Use the following format for your homework submissions:

Date: 1 January 2015 CEE:3371, HW Problem #2 Name

Problem 2. Problem Title (something you can get from the assignment itself) Statement: A brief but complete description of the problem to be solved.

Include a Diagram if necessary. Note all the given information. Clearly state the desired result.

Solution: An organized, annotated, step-by-step documentation of the solution to the problem.

Write-out in detail the formulation of the solution. Provide comments for each major step (or part) of the solution. Your text should explain the equations, numbers, and figures that follow, as well as any necessary assumptions. Reference any materials (spreadsheet tables and/or figures) that are attached. Underline the final answer for each part. Finally, add any additional comments to justify your answer, i.e. does the answer make sense physically?
