Prerequisite: MAE 2101 (Statics)
Co requisite: Math 340 (Intro to Diff. Eq.)
Text: Engineering Mechanics: Statics & Dynamics (or Dynamics), 10th Ed., by R. C. Hibbeler
Homework: The way you practice is the way you play the game. Homework is an important part
of cementing the information from the lectures into practical application that will fulfill the
objectives of this course. Homework will count as 30% of the course grade, and will be due at
the start of class, typically one week after it is assigned. Study groups are acceptable and
encouraged, but homework should be based on individual effort. To be graded, homework must
be neat, readable and must SHOW YOUR WORK in arriving at the answers with intermediate
calculations. Partial credit will be given for problems executed correctly but with computation
errors. Homework turned in during class but after class starts is subject to a 10% late penalty.
Homework turned in after it is dueis subject to a 30% penalty. If extreme circumstances should
present themselves, consult with me as soon as possible. Each homework set will consist of
around 5-7 problems from the chapter. Each problem will be assessed according to the following
criteria:
Correct procedures, correct answers
Some math errors
Several math errors or incorrect equations
Correct equations
Attempted
Did not attempt
5 pts
4 pts
3 pts
2 pts
1 pt
0 pts
Exams: There will be three exams given during the semester, each counting equally in your
grade. I will give you at least a week’s notice as to the exact date of the exam as well as the
material for which you will be responsible on each test. The last exam will be given on the day
allotted for the final. Unless arrangements have been made PRIOR to any exam, THERE WILL
BE NO MAKE-UP EXAMS.. For each exam, you will be allowed to bring a 3x5 inch index card
with formulas and constants written on it. Calculators are also allowed to be used for the exams.
Grades: Your grade will be based on the following weighting:
Homework
25%
Exam #1
25%
Exam #2
25%
Exam #3
25%
The grading ranges are posted on my website. The ranges are: 4.0 (89.5 to 100), 3.x (79.5 to
89.4), 2.x (69.5 to 79.4), 1.x (59.5-69.4) and 0.x (0 to 59.4). Ranges include +’s and –‘s.

Students with disabilities should provide their letters of certification and accommodation within
the first two weeks of class. Special accommodations for tests are required a week prior to the
scheduled exam date.
Units: Keeping track and showing units (where they exist) is critical when reporting engineering
results. Reminders will appear on homework problems with missing units prior to the first exam.
After that (including all exams) DEDUCTIONS WILL BE TAKEN FOR MISSING UNITS.
Calculators: Calculators and computers are a part of the modern engineer’s tool set. They
provide an alternate means to check your answers and to reduce computation errors, but are no
substitution for engineering common sense. If you can program and apply calculators to assist
you in your problem solving, you are increasing your skill set. Calculators will be allowed
during exams; HOWEVER, enough INTERMEDIATE STEPS MUST BE SHOWN to convince
me that you understand how to solve the problem.
