There are 13 program outcomes in the ME curriculum relating to the skills, knowledge, and behaviors that students are expected to acquire. Note: Not all objectives are addressed in any one course. In ME 596, the desired objectives are: PO 1: The ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering. PO 5: The ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems PO 12: The ability to apply principles of engineering, basic science, and mathematics (including multivariate calculus and differential equations) to model, analyze, design, and realize physical systems, components or processes We have a continuing assessment process in place in order to collect and interpret data to evaluate the achievement of program outcomes. At the end of the semester, a survey will be conducted to determine how well these objectives have been met. Course Policy Grading in this course will be based on the following: Quizzes ( multiple choice with 2 Drops ) 60% Final ( multiple choice ) 40% The quizzes and final will be administered on a closed book/closed notes basis. No make-up quizzes or tests will be given but you will be allowed to drop your two lowest quiz scores in the determination of your course grade. Homework will be assigned each class and solved in class during the next lecture. Devices which can be used to access the internet are forbidden to be used in the classroom.
