Prerequisites:BAE 1012, BIOL 1114, PHYS 2014 TEXTBOOK: Physical Properties of Agricultural Materials and Food Products by StroshineINSTRUCTOR: Dr. Carol Jones, Asst. Professor, Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering, 216 Ag Hall, Phone 405-744-6667, cell: 405-612-1133 email: [email protected] HOMEPAGE: http://biosystems.okstate.edu/Home/jcarol/Class_Notes/BAE2023_Spring2011/2023_home.html COURSE OBJECTIVES: Students completing this course successfully will:1. Develop an understanding of the physical laws by which biological materials respond to various physical treatments involving mechanical, thermal, electrical, optical, and electromagnetic techniques and devices.2. Determine the terminology and the relationship between internal structure and the macroscopic properties of biological materials.3. Apply the fundamentals of engineering sciences to characterize the physical and rheological properties of biological materials.4. Demonstrate the effect of physical properties on the design of agricultural and food processing machines and processing systems.5. Identify techniques to quantify and determine engineering properties. 6. Understand how history and culture interact with engineering to interact with the physical and rheological properties of biological materials.7. Understand the need for safety measures in the laboratory.EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS: All students will be given homework assignments. Examinations over homework, labs and lectures will be given as scheduled. Assignments are due at the beginning of the period, one week after the assignment was made unless more precise instructions are given. No more than half credit will be given for assignments that are late. No credit will be given for assignments that are over one class period late. Students withappropriate excuses and prior arrangements with the instructor may reschedule examinations. GRADING: Homework and Labs 50 % Tests 30 % Final 20 % The final grade will be based on the total percentage of the above determined from the following table. The minimum required for a letter grade may be adjusted at the discretion of the instructor based on class performance. But the minimum will never exceed that set forthin the table below.%-Range Grade100-90 A89-80 B79-70 C69-60 D59-0 F DROP POLICY: See "University Academic Regulations" Section 5.4 of the OSU catalog.ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: Study and hard work are essential to success in this course and help to eliminate the temptation of academic dishonesty. Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated and disciplinary action may include failure of this course. Oklahoma State University is committed to the maintenance of the highest standards of integrity and ethical conduct of its members. This level of ethical behavior and integrity will be maintained in this course. Participating in a behavior that violates academic integrity (e.g., unauthorized collaboration on homework or assignments, plagiarism, multiple submissions of the same assignment, cheating on examinations, fabricating information, helping another person cheat, having unauthorized advance access to examinations, altering or destroying the work of others, and fraudulently altering academic records) will result in your being sanctioned. Violations may subject you to disciplinary action including the following: receiving a failing grade on an assignment, examination or course, receiving a notation of a violation of academic integrity on your transcript, and being suspended from the University. You have the right to appeal the charge.
