Course Description:
This
course coves kinematics and kinetics of particles and rigid bodies in two
dimensions.
Force-mass-acceleration, work-energy, and impulse-momentum
methods will be covered.
Course Objectives
1.
Develop thorough understanding of kinematics and dynamics of particles and
rigid bodies
2.
Develop ability to determine the relationship between applied forces and
resulting loads and motion
Instructor's Educational Philosophy:
Education is helping students achieve their goals. Through education, students recognize and improve their learning skills and strengthen their capabilities to accomplish their life dreams.
Each student must be treated uniquely and a mutual respect
must be developed between a student and an instructor. This is paramount in
creating a suitable and pleasant learning environment.
Methods of Instruction:
The concepts covered in this course will be presented in a traditional lecture environment by developing new concepts and theories. Sample problems will be solved to demonstrate application of theories and concepts covered in this course.
Textbook: Available from CBU Bookstore.

Grading Policies
Your final grade will be determined based on the following table and your class participation. Feedback to students is provided through test scores administered in class as well as consultation with the instructor if that is required.
Pop
quiz 5 % (No
makeup quiz)
Exam 1 20%
Exam 2 20%
Exam 3 20%
Final Exam 25% (Final exam is comprehensive)
Exam dates:
Exam #1: September
15, 2010
Exam # 2: October 27, 2010
Exam # 3: November
17, 2010
Final Exam: See
the link below
http://www2.cbu.edu/cbu/resources/RegistrarsOffice/CalendarsandSchedules/FinalExamSchedule/index.htm
No makeup exam will be given. In case you have to miss an
exam, you must inform the instructor prior to the exam time. If it is
determined that you have a legitimate excuse, the average grade of the first
exam that you have taken and the final exam will be substituted for your exam
grade. Missing the final exam will result in failing the course.
Grading Scale: A 90-100 B 80-89
C 70-79 D 60-69 F 0-59
Bathroom Break:
Students cannot leave the classroom for using
bathrooms during exams. If there is a justified medical case, student must
discuss it with the instructor prior to exam.
Homework:
Homework is assigned regularly.
Students must try to solve all problems and submit them on the due date.
Late homework submission will result in 30% penalty for each class
session after the due date.
Attendance: Students are expected to attend all classes and actively participate in class discussions.
Any student who misses a total of eight hours of class time will be
given an F grade for the course.
Some of the topics presented in class may not be in your textbook. You are responsible for knowing these topics.
Students must always do their own work. Cheating of any kind will result in a reduction of student’s final grade by one letter grade. Cheating on an exam will result in an "F" grade for the course.
Computer Usage
During class time, students can only use computers to do the assigned in-class or homework projects. Students cannot use the computer for any other purposes. This includes, but is not limited to checking email, browsing the Internet, playing games or printing lecture notes or using the CBU intranet, etc. A student who violates this policy will be asked to leave the classroom. A repeat of a similar situation will reduce the student’s final grade by a letter grade.
A computer account on the CBU Server is necessary. Make sure you have obtained your account name and password and that you can log in successfully. You can register for an Account via an internet form at http://www.cbu.edu/ietc/helpdesk/.
Students must check their campus e-mail regularly and are responsible for announcements or memos sent by the instructor via campus e-mail.
Electronic Devices:
·
All electronic
devices must be turned off during the entire class period.
·
The one and only electronic device
allowed to be used in classroom is a calculator.
·
Any other
portable electronic devices must be turned off prior to the start of each
class.
