The Honor Code will be upheld and any violations will be
brought to the immediate attention of the Dean of Students.
Remember to cite your references when writing your lab reports. Each
person will contribute to and be responsible for each lab report submitted.
Students will be consulted for any substantial changes to the course
outline. Changes will be discussed and announced in advance.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR PASSING THE COURSE
- Total points is 60%
and above.
- Hand in 70% of all
homework.
QUIZZES AND FINAL
- Quiz problems will
include theory as well as numerical problems. Questions on the laboratory
may also be asked.
- All quizzes and final
exam are closed book and may include multiple choice problems.
- All problem solutions
must be done on paper provided. Work will be done on one side only. The
format of the solution must include assumptions and the solution or
answer clearly shown.
- The solution must
illustrate the understanding of the material. Correct numerical
solutions alone are insufficient for any credit.
- If a problem starts
with incorrect assumptions and formulations, it will receive no credit.
- All answers must be
accompanied by units.
- Quizzes and final are
to be taken with a fully charged calculator. Calculators may not be
borrowed during the quizzes.
- The dates of the
quizzes will be announced.
- The grade of
"I" (incomplete) will not be given for unsatisfactory academic
performance.
- No mid-term warning
notice will be given.
- Students cannot leave
the classroom during quizzes or exam.
- Cell phones must be
OFF and laptop computers / notebooks / tablets not necessary in
class.
HOMEWORK
- Homework sets are due
as announced by your instructor in advance.
- Homework must be
submitted in sets, arranged in order as in course outline.
- The homework must be
written on quadrille 8½ x 11 engineering pad. Sets must be stapled
together in the upper left hand corner. DO NOT HAND IN CLASS NOTES.
- NO LATE Homework will
be accepted.
HOMEWORK INSTRUCTIONS
The following are to be observed when handing in homework for grading.
Failure to do so may result in significant deductions in the homework
grade:
- Use 5-square per inch
National Computation pad paper ONLY (sold at the NJIT Bookstore).
The proper form consists of doing the problems on one side of 8-1/2 x11
pad paper. Also acceptable; engineering paper from office supply
stores.
- On the top of each
page, in the space provided, LETTER your classroom instructor’s
name and section, problem number, student’s name (LAST, FIRST) and page
number (1 of 7, 2 of 7, etc.).
- The problems must be
presented in numerical order as assigned. One problem per page.
Write on one side of the sheet only. Lettering and numbers are to
be neat, clear and legible.
- Draw neat, clear
F.B.D’s as required. Use a straight edge or other drawing instruments as
needed.
- Box in the final
answer.
Laboratory Safety
Your safety and the safety
of those around you are of prime importance. Efforts have been made to reduce
the hazard in the lab as much as possible. If you should see anything that
you consider to be a safety hazard report this condition to your lab instructor.
Take your experiments seriously. Forces into the thousands of pounds will be
used throughout the course and if these forces are released in an
uncontrolled manner injuries are possible. Horseplay will not be tolerated and
will constitute grounds for dismissal from the course.
Grading Policies
Your lab grade will represent
15% of your course grade. The lab grade will be averaged into your lecture
grade to determine your final grade. You must receive a passing grade in both
the lab and the lecture to pass the course. Failure of either requires repeating both
lecture and lab. In other words, failing the lab or the lecture means failing
the course, so, do all of your work, please.
All reports should be word
processed. Graphs are to be computer generated.
The results of the experiment
are the results you must work with. Do not "cook" the results to
produce the "expected" results. Draw your conclusions based on
these results. If they are not as expected (you should have an idea of the
expected results), account for the discrepancies.
Reports are also graded on
your presentation. Is the material presented in a logical way? Can all of the
required results be found with ease? Are the results discussed intelligently,
in a good technical language? Can all the questions that enter the
readers mind be satisfied? Be advised that your discussion and conclusions
will probably carry more weight than production of the right answers.
All labs are due at the meeting
after they were conducted. Due dates are listed on the syllabus. After the
due date reports will be accepted for 75% credit. After the reports have been
returned to the class late papers will be accepted for only 50% credit.
Papers more than two weeks late will not be accepted.
You should keep a copy of
the work you turn-in. If a report is "lost" it is a favor to the instructor,
and insurance for you, to be able to submit a copy of the report.
Students are expected to
properly maintain their registration status. If your name does not appear on the
final grade sheet, it is not possible to assign you a grade and it will be
necessary for you to repeat the course.

CEE Mission, Program Educational 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 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 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 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
(f) an understanding of ethical and professional
responsibility
(g) an ability to communicate effectively
(h) the broad education necessary to understand the
impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and
societal context
(i) a recognition of need for, and an ability to engage
in life-long learning
(j) a knowledge of contemporary issues
(k) an ability to use techniques, skills and modern
engineering tools necessary for engineering practice
