Course Outcomes
Program outcomes are statements that describe what students are expected to
know and be able to do by the time of graduation. 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.
