BME/ISE 1110 Fall 2014 Laboratory SyllabusContact Information:Course Description:Course Objectives:Attendance:Electronic Submission and Filename Format:E-Mail Subject Line ExampleFile Name ExampleKNOW YOUR LABORATORY SECTION NUMBER!Student Teams: As a practicing engineer, be it in industry, government or academia, you will not have the luxury of choosing your team mates. Further, your performance will be directly affected by the performance of your team or team mate(s). You will find yourself working with people of different races, abilities, creeds, religions, cultures and genders. While some cultures and religions believe in the segregation of education according to some of the aforementioned criteria, we here at Wright State University do not.Lab Philosophy: Fundamentals of BIE Engineering Lab is designed to encourage active learning as opposed to passive learning. With active learning, you as the student are responsible for exploring and gathering relevant information, and then constructing personally meaningful schema which add to your own individual knowledge and experience. In essence students are ultimately responsible for their own education. The instructor's role is to establish parameters and facilitate the learning process; and to serve, not as the primary source of information, but only as one of many potential resources. As such, Fundamentals of BIE Engineering Lab relies heavily on student participation, teamwork and group projects. In general, the exercises are intended to be individual efforts; however, students are encouraged to work collaboratively on the exercises. Do not share files. The project(s) will normally require group participation and will be judged on the basis of the team’s effort.Computer Labs: You are encouraged to use the PC’s located here in the WSU computer labs. You may use your own computer but must turn in assignments that are generated using Microsoft Office 2010 or 2013. You may use apple computers but must be able to turn in assignments exactly as they would appear using Office 2010 or later. For example, if you cannot use all of the functions offered by Excel’s equation editor because you are using a Mac you will lose points on the assignment. In other words, if you use computers other than those provided in WSU labs you do so at your own risk.Overview and Important Dates:BME/ISE 1110 Fall 2014 Laboratory SyllabusContact Information:Dr. Simon Tritschler E-mail: [email protected]: 246 RCOffice Hours: W, F 9 – 11 AM and by appointmentPhone: (937) 775-2563Mr. Ron ButcherE-mail: [email protected]: 254 RCOffice Hours: M 6:30 - 10 PM, T 4 - 6 and 8:15 - 10 PM, W 8 - 10 PM, R 8:15 - 10 PM.Su. 5-10 PM and by appointment Phone: (937) 775-5074Amena ShermadouE-mail: [email protected]: 243 RC (Cacioppo Lab)Office Hours: M 8 - 11 AM and by appointmentPrateek KalraE-mail: [email protected]: 226 RC (BME Imaging Lab)Office Hours: T, R 1:00 – 3:00 PM and by appointmentNirajan ThapaE-mail: [email protected]: 243 RC (Cacioppo Lab)Office Hours: F 12:00 AM - 3:00 PM and by appointmentPhone: (937) 775-5074Course Description: The course consists of computer-based and instrumentation-based lab sessions. Topics include: Introduction to Excel, Introduction to MatLab, Introduction to SolidWorks, problem solving and topics related to construction and design projects. Students will have the opportunity to examine different engineering practices and engage in practical hands-onlaboratory experiences. Emphasis will focus on teamwork and ability to read and follow instructions.Course Objectives:- Introduce students to engineering principles through hands-on experience- Sharpen critical thinking, problem solving, and communication skills- Develop skill in using engineering analytical tools and techniques- Foster collaboration among students through cooperative team project activities- Enhance the students’ sense of community by encouraging participation - Increase students’ probability of successfully completing the undergraduate engineering requirementsAttendance: Attendance is crucial to any laboratory course or exercise. Lab attendance is mandatory. Attendance will be taken and recorded for all laboratory sessions. If students are absent or tardy they do not gain all of the benefits of hands-on experience. Repeating labs at a later date for the benefit of a few students who did not attend is neither practical nor fair to other students. Excused absences are days missed due to serious illness or death in ones’ immediate family only. An excused absence requires that the student present a doctor’s note or copy of a death certificate to the teaching assistant (TA) or professor. There will be no exceptions. Students who are granted an excused absence must meet with the professor or TA to determine how the missed assignment will be “made up”. Excused absences are not granted for car trouble, weather, traffic or other unfortunate circumstances. All other absences are considered unexcused absences and will result in a final grade reduction for the lab course of three (3) percentage points for each unexcused absence. Tardiness will result in a final grade reduction for the lab course of (1) percentage point for each occurrence. Failure to answer roll when called is defined as tardiness. When tardy, students are responsible for letting their presence be known to the teaching assistant immediately upon arrival. If a student fails to make their presence known upon arrival to the class they will be counted as absent. - Tardiness in excess of 20 minutes is counted as an unexcused absence.- Thirty (30) absentee points whether excused or unexcused willresult in a grade of incomplete for the entire laboratory course.Academic Integrity: Cheating will not be tolerated. The instructor, lab coordinator and teaching assistants fully endorse the Wright State University policy to uphold and support standards of personal honesty and integrity for all students consistent with the goals of a community of scholars and students seeking knowledge and truth. Teamwork is encouraged but; all students must turnin their own work and generate their own original files for electronicsubmission. Working together or collaborating with your team mate(s) means assisting them in understanding the assignment, or exercise. Examples of academic dishonesty in this class include, but are not limited to:-Sharing or copying (sharing a file is
