Description
CE 2211 -- Materials Testing [Lab 1.0]
Designed to assist in the teaching of mechanics of materials. Topics include strain measurement, testing machines and
properties of materials. Prerequisite: preceded or
accompanied by CE 2210.
This course is also designed to evaluate students' basic
writing, presentation, and data collection and interpretation skills.
A comprehensive list of objectives for engineering
instructional laboratories is provided for your review.
Attendance Policy
Attendance at all lab meetings is required. If you
miss a lab meeting, you will have to arrange to make up the missed
experiment with your TAs. Missing three lab meetings in a row may
result in you being dropped from the course. And failure to
participate in all laboratory experiments will result in an automatic F
for the course.
Research Groups
Students will be divided into research groups to
perform laboratory experiments. Each
group will communicate its experimental findings at the beginning of the lab period following the
laboratory experiment. A penalty of 50% per class period will be
charged for not submitting an assignment at the expected time.
Peer evaluations will be conducted within each research group.
The course director and TAs will use
judgment in converting peer evaluations into class participation grades.
A group member failing to contribute to an assignment may have
his/her name removed/withheld from that assignment by the contributing
members. In this case, the non-contributing member will be expected to submit
his/her own report under the same guidelines and timeframe as the remainder of
the group.
In the event that a group member is repeatedly failing to do his or her
share of the work, the group may elect to "fire" that member.
This will require a hearing with the TAs, appropriate and
detailed documentation, and sufficient justification of such action. If a
group
member is "fired," he/she will be individually responsible for
completing all remaining assignments. The "fired" member will not
be able to join another group.
Grades
Grades will be posted on Blackboard.
The standard university grading policy will
be followed. However, the course coordinators reserve the
right to curve grades at the end of the semester. A: 90-100, B: 80-89, C:
70-79, D: 60-69, F: 0-59
Student Conduct
Misconduct in this course is defined as
plagiarism, failure to follow laboratory safety practices, intentional damage
to laboratory equipment, and actions of a similar nature. You will be
expected to clearly identify and properly reference any information not
generated by members of your research group. You
will also be held responsible for equipment that is carelessly, willfully, or
maliciously damaged. Failure to do so will be dealt with
according to the Conduct
of Students section of the Student
Academic Regulations.
Disability Support
If you have a documented
disability and anticipate needing accommodations in this course, you are
strongly encouraged to meet with the instructor early in the semester.
You will need to request that the Disability Services staff send a letter
verifying your disability and specifying the accommodation you will need
before the instructor can arrange your accommodation.
Safety
Egress maps for all areas of
instruction on campus are available on the web at registrar.mst.edu/links/egress.html.
Students are encouraged to review this site and be aware of the emergency exit
signs near their classrooms.
Communication
If you have problems with this course that cannot be handled
by the teaching assistants, feel free to consult Dr. Thomas or the department chair,
Dr. William Schonberg (BCH 211).
The course schedule, content, and
assignments are subject to modification when circumstances
dictate and as the course progresses and matures. If changes
are made, you will be given due notice.
