Grading Policy:
Grading Scale: A: 100-92 B+: 91-85 B: 84-80 C+: 79-75 C: 74-70 D: 69-60 F: Below 60 Attendance Policy: Students are expected to attend every class and sign in. In the event that you cannot attend class, you may request to attend one of the other sections as a make-up, however this is limited to availability and permission from the instructor. Students are responsible for submitting all homework, projects, assignments, etc. on the due date (during class time). Students who miss assignments due to attendance must contact the Dean of Students to be excused for absences. Students who miss class with no valid excuse (as determined by the Dean of Students) will not be given any accommodations to complete work. Withdrawals: In order to insure consistency and fairness in application of the NJIT policy on withdrawals, student requests for withdrawals after the deadline will not be permitted unless extenuating circumstances (e.g., major family emergency or substantial medical difficulty) are documented. The course Professors and the Dean of Students are the principal points of contact for students considering withdrawals. NJIT Honor Code: During the 2008-2009 academic year, the NJIT Administration worked very closely with the Student Senate to enhance and improve NJIT's Honor Code. The Committee on Academic Affairs and the NJIT Faculty approved the Student Senate’s recommendations and the approved document, “University Code on Academic Integrity” replaces the older Honors Code document. (http://www.njit.edu/academics/pdf/academic-integrity-code.pdf). All students are responsible for upholding the integrity of NJIT by reporting any violation of academic integrity to the Office of the Dean of Students. (http://www.njit.edu/doss/). The identity of the student filing the report remains anonymous. Assignment Policy: Late assignments will NOT be accepted. Homework received after the due date will NOT be graded and a ZERO will be counted for that assignment. ***ANY ASSIGNMENT THAT IS COPIED WILL RECEIVE A ZERO AND THOSE STUDENTS INVOLVED WILL BE SUBJECT TO DISCIPLINARY ACTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NJIT HONOR CODE*** All assignments are to be submitted in class on paper, unless otherwise requested, on the due date, or via email to srr3@njit.edu ON OR BEFORE the beginning of class on the due date. Email is only to be used if you will be absent from class and shall not be the primary form of submission. Syllabus Information: The dates and topics of the syllabus are subject to change; however students will be consulted with and must agree to any modifications or deviations from the syllabus throughout the course of the semester. Email Policy: When emailing the instructor, you must provide your course and section number in the subject line. Also, although most email addresses will display your name, you must sign off with your full name at the bottom of each email. If you do not provide these two critical piece of information, your email will not be responded to. Items Required for this Course:
Dress Policy: Students are required to dress professionally for all oral presentations as this will count toward the grade. |

CEE Mission, Program Objectives and Student Outcomes
The mission of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is:
· to educate a diverse student body to be employed in the engineering profession
· to encourage research and scholarship among our faculty and students
· to promote service to the engineering profession and society
Our program objectives are reflected in the achievements of our recent alumni.
1 – Engineering Practice: Recent alumni will successfully engage in the
practice of civil engineering within industry, government, and private practice,
working toward sustainable solutions in a wide array of technical specialties
including construction, environmental, geotechnical, structural, transportation,
and water resources.
2 – Professional Growth: Recent alumni will advance their skills through
professional growth and development activities such as graduate study in
engineering, professional registration, and continuing education; some graduates
will transition into other professional fields such as business and law through
further education.
3 – Service: Recent alumni will perform service to society and the
engineering profession through membership and participation in professional
societies, government, educational institutions, civic organizations, and
humanitarian endeavors.
Our student outcomes are what students are expected to know and be able to do by
the time of their graduation:
(a) an ability to apply knowledge of math, science, and engineering
(b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data
(c) an ability to design a system, component or process to meet desired needs
within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political,
ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability
(d) an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams
(e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
