EXAMS/QUIZZES
An initial exam, a midterm and a final exam will be given.  These exams will be closed books. No make-up exams will be given. 

In addition, a number of unannounced short pop-quizzes will be given during the class to ensure students are making progress as the course proceeds.
 

HOMEWORK

Problems are given each week to be solved and turned in at the beginning of the lecture in the week following the assignment.  Homework will be returned the following week.  To obtain credit, you must submit the work on time and in the proper form.  At least 75% of the homework must be submitted on time, and correct, to receive a passing grade in the course.  No late homework is allowed.
 

TUTORIAL HELP

Help will be provided during the posted office hours. Students are encouraged to see the instructor during office hours. Additionally, an appointment may be made via email to meet the instructor.

HOMEWORK INSTRUCTIONS

The following are to be observed when handling in homework for grading.  Failure to do so may result in significant deductions in the homework grade.

1.

 

Use 5-square per inch National Computation pad paper ONLY (sold at the NJIT Bookstore).  Problems should be done on one side of the 8-1/2 x 11 pad paper.

2.

 

On the top of each page, in the space provided, Print your instructor's name, section, problem number, student's name (LAST, FIRST) date, and page number.

3.

 

The problems must be presented in numerical order as assigned, with each problem beginning on a new page.  Letters and numbers must be neat, clear and legible.

4.

Draw neat, clear, free body diagrams as required.  Use a straight edge or other drawing instruments as needed.


5.

Box in the final answer accompanied by its units.  DO NOT HAND IN CLASS NOTES.

6.

Staple the problems in proper numerical order with a single staple in the upper left-hand corner.

 

*The NJIT Honor Code will be upheld and any violations will be brought to the immediate attention of the Dean of Students.
*Students will be consulted with by the instructor to any modifications or deviations from the syllabus throughout the course of the semester.

CEE Mission, Program Educational Objectives and Program Outcomes Mission
 

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 

 

Program Educational Objectives

Our program educational 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 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, civic organizations, and humanitarian endeavors.
