Grades: Using the formula (maximum score in parentheses)

Points = [Quizzes (52) + Midterm (100) + Homework (50) + Modeling Project (50)+                              Design Project (50)+ Final (200)] / 500, assign the grade according to

90 & above

A

 

60 -   69

D

 

Below 60

F

80 -   89

B

 

70 -   79

C

 

 

 

Scores for all assignments and exams will be posted on the UT eGradebook. Access to the eGradebook,  on UT’s secure website         https://utdirect.utexas.edu/diia/egb/      requires your UT Electronic ID (UT-EID) and password.

Homework: Due the beginning of the first class, one week after the assignment date. Late homework will not be accepted. Homework totals a possible 50 points. For full credit, work must be done in a neat and professional manner; all relevant sketches and intermediate results must be shown; and numerical answers must include relevant magnitudes, directions, and units. Solutions will be posted on the web page.

Modeling & Design Project: Two projects will be assigned, both involving engineering analysis of some practical device: 1) modeling & analysis and 2) design & simulation. The projects, each worth 50 points, will be graded according to

            Problem Definition                                                          10

            Computational results (completeness & accuracy of data)        25

            Clarity of write-up                                                           10

            Conclusions & comments on calculations                              5

Exams: Midterm is worth 100 points and tests material covered up to and through the prior week. The final exam is comprehensive and worth 200 points. Missed exams (without an official excuse) will be graded as a zero.

Quizzes: There will be 5 quizzes, each worth 13 points and 15 minutes long. Quizzes will test material up through and including the prior lecture. The lowest quiz grade will be dropped, giving a maximum of 52 quiz points. Missed quizzes will receive a zero grade. No make-ups will be given.

Assistance may be had during office hours or by appointment. For rapid response, send your question via  e-mail to mbryant@mail.utexas.edu. Provide sufficient detail.

Collaboration: Discussion of assignments (homework and projects) with other students is encouraged, but all work submitted must be your own. Any evidence of plagiarism or other forms of scholastic dishonesty will be grounds for a failing grade in the course.

Miscellaneous

1. Prerequisites: M427K & ME 324 (grade ≥ C ), EE 331K (or concurrent registration), and admission to a major sequence.

2. Last free drop date 2/11; with Dean's approval 3/24.

3. Standard College of Engineering course evaluations will be used.

4. The University of Texas at Austin provides upon request appropriate academic adjustments for qualified students with disabilities. For more information, contact the Office of the Dean of Students at 471-6259, 471-4241 TDD or the College of Engineering Director of Students with Disabilities at 471-4382.
