answer your questions about homework problems. Before emailing questions to your TAs and

instructors, please post your questions on Piazza first. The system is highly catered to getting you help

fast and efficiently from classmates, the TA, and your instructors.

Find our class signup link at: https://piazza.com/okstate/fall2020/ensc2213

Forum Q&A follow-up: If you are not satisfied with the discussion generated by posting your question

to the Piazza forum, contact any of your TAs or instructors by email to schedule a private online follow-

up conversation.

CRITICAL SOFTWARE & HARDWARE

Software:

1. MS Teams: Download Microsoft Teams to your computer as part of the MS Office Suite

(https://it.okstate.edu/services/microsoft-teams/). Get the phone app too! You may attend

lectures via MS Teams livestream, and the MS Teams Chat feature will be used by everyone to

ask questions during the lecture.

2. MS Outlook: Get the phone calendar app! All MS Teams livestream events (lectures,

discussion, etc) will show up as invitations in your Outlook Calendar.

3. Cam Scanner or Adobe Scan Phone App: You will be using your phone as a scanner this

semester to scan and upload homework and exams to CANVAS. Photos of your homework/exam

pages will not be accepted! Get yourself a scanner app and learn how to use it.

Hardware:

1. Working Camera on your Laptop or Desktop Computer: You’ll need this for the proctored

online final exam and other exams you may need to take online.

2. Good Internet connection (at least 3 Mbps in both directions — download and upload) in a

private location for your online final exam. You can test your connection speed at

http://speedtest.net or http://speedof.me

TIME, PLACE, METHOD OF DELIVERY & ABSENCES

Lectures: There are two equally valid ways to attend lectures:

1. You may attend in person, MWF 10:30 to 11:15 a.m., Colvin Recreation Center Annex.

2. You may join the class at the scheduled time MWF 10:30 to 11:15 a.m., via MS Teams link.

Livestreamed lectured will be recorded and posted online.

3. During lectures (in person and online) you may communicate with the instructor via the MS

Teams chat window.

Hourly Examinations: Six (6) hour exams are scheduled throughout the semester. Your lowest exam

score will be dropped to accommodate difficulties related to quarantine and illness.

The following Protocol will be used for in class exams:

1. Paper exam copies will be delivered to your desk by TAs (with appropriate PPE). 2. When time is called, you must stop immediately and begin scanning your exam, using your

camera app. Failure to STOP may result in a penalty of 5 points per second. 3. You will have 10 minutes to scan and upload your exam to the designated CANVAS Exam

Assignment folder. Failure to upload your Exam before the assignment folder closes may

result in a 30 point penalty. 4. You will drop the paper copy of your exam into a box as you leave the room. Failure to drop the

paper copy in the box will result in forfeiture of a ‘regrade’ opportunity in the event of technical

difficulties.

Makeup exams will not be given during the semester, but if you are quarantined, mildly ill, or wake up

with symptoms the morning of the exam, you may register by email with your instructor and TA to take

the exam online at the regularly scheduled time. Email notification must be received by your TA no

later than 8:30 am the morning of the exam. Late notification may result in you missing the exam. The

online exam will be proctored by your TA using MS Teams.

The following Protocol will be used for proctored online exams including the final exam:

1. You must arrive for the MS Teams meeting at the time designated by your TA and no later than

15 minutes prior to the scheduled exam time. Failure to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the

scheduled exam time may result in a penalty of 20 points. 2. You must professionally and quickly comply with all check-in procedures. Check-in procedures

will be communicated by your instructor or TA prior to the exam. Failure to comply with

check-in procedures forfeits your right to take the exam. 3. At the scheduled exam time, the exam assignment on canvas will open and you may download

the exam to your desktop or laptop computer. 4. You will work the exam on your own paper. When time is called, you must stop immediately

and begin scanning your exam, using your camera app. Failure to STOP may result in a

penalty of 5 pts per second. 5. You will have 10 minutes to scan and upload your exam to the designated CANVAS Exam

Assignment folder. Failure to upload your Exam before the assignment folder closes may

result in a 30-point penalty.

In extreme situations where documented, extended illness results in missing two exams, the final exam

score will be counted for one missing exam. If you miss more than two exams due to illness, you are

strongly advised to drop the class. No further accommodation will be made in this case.

Comprehensive Final Examination: The comprehensive final examination will be online and will follow

the online, proctored exam protocol. Note that you will not be on campus for this exam. It is your

responsibility to plan ahead so that you have a private location and a strong internet connection for the

3

final exam. The final exam will be open for one hour and 50 minutes — from 10:00 am to 11:50 am

on December 9. You must arrive no later than 9:45 am to avoid a late penalty for this exam.

HOMEWORK

1. Assignments will be assigned and posted on the classroom website (CANVAS).

2. Homework submissions will be through the Assignments module on CANVAS. The instructor

might need to change/postpone the predetermined due dates based on the class responsiveness to

the material. Therefore, always pay attention to CANVAS due dates (in Assignments) instead of

the Syllabus Schedule.

3. Homework is always due at 11:59 pm on the due date. Late homework will receive a 15% late

penalty per business day. Late homework that is more than four business days late will not be

graded.

4. For homework related questions, approach the TAs first.

5. Note the attached illustration problem on page 10:

a) Start a new page for each problem.

b) Student’s name at the top of the sheet.

c) Problem number at the top of the sheet.

d) The equation or method of solution is given at the beginning.

e) Where appropriate, a suitable sketch should be drawn.

f) Note any assumptions or decisions needed for the solution.

g) Each numerical value used has an accompanying set of units.

h) The final answer is set apart by "boxing in".

i) The final answer is rounded off to the appropriate number of significant figures (usually

three).

6. You will be graded on organization, neatness, clarity of your solution and correct answer.

7. Your graded homework will be posted to CANVAS.

8. Discuss any grading disparity with your discussion section TA. If the TAs do not answer your

question to your satisfaction, then feel free to contact the instructor.

9. Homework will be reviewed, if needed, in the discussion sessions. Solutions will be posted on

Canvas a few days after due date. Each assigned homework problem will be scored on a zero-to-

three point basis:

3 pts -- correct & neatly done

2 pts -- essentially correct & neatly done (basic approach is correct)

1 pt -- incorrect or messy

0 pt -- no serious attempt was made.

1. Additional Exam Information: Exam dates are shown on the attached schedule (see page 7). Any date changes will be

announced one week in advance.

All exams will be open book and open notes and homework.

Students must supply their own pencils and calculators. During the exam, borrowing or

sharing of anything - paper, calculators, etc. - is strictly prohibited.

As with homework, neatness and organization are an absolute must on exam problem

solutions. If your work and logic cannot be easily followed, very often no credit can be given.

5

Graded exams will be posted to CANVAS.

If you feel your exam should be re-graded, after comparing to the partial credit distribution

on the posted solution, first contact your TAs. If you are not satisfied, contact your instructor.

ATTENDANCE

Unless ill or quarantined, you are expected to attend every class lecture — either in person or online —

and preferably all the discussion sessions. You are also responsible for all material, announcements,

schedule changes, etc., discussed in class and discussion sessions. Attending discussion sessions is

optional but encouraged. Have in mind that the lectures and discussion sessions are important. They

are the best means we have to convey to you the qualitative knowledge and art of engineering. If you

feel sick however, you should avoid attending lectures and discussion sessions and you will not lose

points for that.

ACADEMIC HONESTY

We encourage students to work together on the homework, but handing in homework as one's own work

by direct copying from another's work or the solutions manual, old files or web sites with homework

solutions is plagiarism. Copying of text from the internet, books, or other sources, even a single

sentence (introduce it as your work), is plagiarism and will be treated as an academic integrity violation.

Likewise, allowing someone to copy your work is dishonest. All cases of academic misconduct will be

handled in accordance with the University Policies and Regulations.

6

DROP POLICY University policy regarding dropping this course during the semester will be followed. Look at the

enclosed Syllabus Attachment for a list of important dates and policy.

SPECIAL PROBLEMS If you have any special problems, such as health or learning disabilities, please let the instructor know

as soon as possible. Every reasonable effort will be made to make sure that your learning experience is

reasonable and straightforward. See the enclosed Syllabus Attachment for additional information. The

earlier you tell us about a problem, the more and better solutions we will have at our disposal to solve

it.

TUTORING SERVICES There is an OSU student service center called OSU LASSO (Learning And Student Success

Opportunity) center (https://lasso.okstate.edu/) which offers free of charge services such as one-on-one

tutoring in any subject/class you may need help. The same is true about CEAT Student Services

Tutoring (https://studentservices.okstate.edu/coaching).

CLASS NOTES & OTHER CLASS RELATED MATERIALS

Class notes and almost all other documents for this course will be posted on the Web through CANVAS.

You can access CANVAS at https://canvas.okstate.edu/.

SIGNIFICANT FIGURES

As long as most engineering calculations were done on slide rules, the question of numbers of

significant figures seldom arose because the slide rule could only be read to three or four figures under

the best of conditions. The introduction of computers and hand-held calculators altered this. One can

generate ten digits of output quite independently of whether these numbers have any meaning or not.

However, it is misleading, confusing, unprofessional and unpleasant to the eye to report answers to a

greater degree of accuracy than is consistent with the input information and the basic equations.

There is a limit to the accuracy of any engineering calculation. This limit arises from the

uncertainties in the basic equations, differences between the design and actual operating conditions, and

uncertainties in physical properties. Most calculations in thermodynamics are valid to only the third

“significant figure.” Typically, inputs are just not measured or known more accurately than 1%.

Exceptions do exist (some thermodynamic properties, e.g., density, might be measured within 0.1% or

less), and such cases must be handled individually.

“Significant figure” means a number that is likely to be correct. Thus, if we write 2.52 (three

significant figures), we mean that the correct answer is more likely to be 2.52 than 2.53 or 2.51. It implies

that the correct answer is less than 2.5205 and greater than 2.5195.

Rules for determination of significant figures in numbers

Normal Numbers: Any digit given, except as noted in the following paragraphs, may be assumed to be

significant. Thus, 12.3 has three significant figures, while 12.3456789 has nine. Numbers given in

problem statements are usually taken to be exact as far as your subsequent calculation goes. For example,

calculating something concerned with a mass of 1 lbm means take it to be 1.000000 lbm, do not take it

that the mass might be known only to between 0.5 and 1.5 lbm.

Leading Zeros: In the number 0.00702, none of the leading 0's are significant. They only serve to set

the decimal point and imply nothing about the accuracy of the number. The first significant figure is the

7, and the entire number has only three significant figures.

Trailing Zeros: In the number 0.002020, the use of a trailing zero implies it is a significant figure. If a

trailing zero is not significant, don't write it down. One exception occurs with trailing zeros. In practice,

the number 1230 may have either three or four significant figures. In those cases, it is assumed the reader

will know from experience, which it is.

Natural Numbers: Numbers such as or the natural base e have as many significant figures as you enter.

Unit Conversions: Most unit conversions, such as pounds to kilograms, are published to eight or more

significant figures. Be sure to enter one significant digit more than your least significant real input to

maintain accuracy.

Pure Numbers: The 1/2 used in the calculation of the area of a triangle (A=1/2bh) and other pure

numbers arising from mathematical theory have an infinite number of significant figures. Usually, you

may assume the reader knows they are pure numbers, and you need not write down trailing zeros.

Counting: When counting objects, significant figures do not apply and you must use your engineering

judgment. For example if you have six apples, there are, 6 apples, not 6.00 apples.

Math operations with inputs having different numbers of significant figures

9

The result of a math operation may have a different number of significant figures than the inputs. In

general, it may require a detailed error analysis to determine the number of significant figures. However,

we will assume the following rules of thumb.

The result of any multiplication, division, trigonometric, exponentiation, or logarithmic operation

will have a number of significant figures equal to the least significant digits of the input. (This rule

is a little sloppy.)

Example: 12.3 1.234 = 15.2 (three significant figures)

Example: sin(123.0) = 0.8387 (four significant figures)

The result of an addition or subtraction will have significant figures equal to the magnitude of the

least significant figure of the inputs.

Example: 1.23 + 1.234 = 2.46 (three significant figures at 0.01 digit)

Example: 12.34 + 1.234 = 13.57 (four significant figures at 0.01digit)

Example: 1.23 - 1.234 = 0.00 (two significant figures at 0.01 digit)

A little history lesson to explain some of the examples in the text

Back in the stone age when your instructor and the textbook's authors were hatched, we all had 12" slide

rules. The space between numbers was proportional to the difference in their logarithms. Thus, the

distance between 1 and 2 was about 6 times the space between 9 and 10. You could input and read

numbers to three significant digits if they had leading digits in the range of 2 to 8. However, numbers

with a leading digit of 1 could be easily read to four digits, while numbers starting with 9 could only be

read to 2 significant digits. Since old habits die hard, do not be too surprised if you see answers like:

12.34, 4.56 and 9.8.

Student Guidance on Wearing Facial Coverings

All OSU students, employees, and visitors must wear a facial covering (mask) upon entering any campus building and when near or

encountering others. This includes during class and in laboratory settings. Please be aware that additional personal protective equipment (PPE), such as a face shield along with a mask, may be required in certain classroom and laboratory settings. Students

who fail to wear their facial covering will be asked to leave the room and return after retrieving their facial covering.

Students who continuously fail to comply with this university expectation will be referred to the Office of Student Conduct Education and Administration for the Student Code of Conduct’s Failure to Comply policy.

COVID-19 can be spread when people are asymptomatic, which means they do not know they are sick yet. Wearing facial coverings has been shown to reduce the spread of COVID-19 to others. It is important that OSU is a safe place to work and study, and taking

this step creates a safe environment for all of us as advised by the CDC. More on facial covering guidelines. (https://go.okstate.edu/coronavirus/campus-reopening-plan/plan-at-a-glance/face-coverings.html)

DROPPING A COURSE AND WITHDRAWING FROM THE UNIVERSITY, students often confuse these terms. Dropping a Course refers to the dropping of one or more classes while remaining enrolled in at least one other OSU course for a given semester. Drop and refund deadlines can be found within the Academic Calendar. Summer courses and other short courses that vary from the standard 16-week semester follow proportionate drop and refund periods. Withdrawing from the university means dropping all courses and you are no longer enrolled for the current semester. The withdrawal process is initiated with your academic advisor. Withdrawal deadlines can be found within the Academic Calendar. Withdrawal deadlines involving summer courses and other short courses that vary from the standard 16-week semester follow proportionate withdrawal periods. Exceptions to the deadlines above may only be considered by petition due to documented extraordinary circumstances and committee approval.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY 101 Whitehurst/405-744-5627/http://academicintegrity.okstate.edu OSU is committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and ethical conduct. 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, plagiarism, multiple submissions, cheating on examinations, fabricating information, helping another person cheat, unauthorized advance access to examinations, altering or destroying the work of others, and altering academic records) will result in an official academic sanction. 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. Students have the right to appeal the charge. COPYRIGHT & FAIR USE POLICY OF COURSE MATERIALS Course materials may not be published, leased, sold to others, or used for any purpose other than appropriate OSU-related individual or group study without the written permission of the faculty member in charge of the course and other copyright holders. This paragraph grants you a limited license giving you access to materials for this course, including PowerPoint slides, audio/video recordings, written, or other materials, for appropriate OSU-related educational use only. Lectures should not be recorded without permission from the faculty member and must not be further disseminated or shared. Assignments, quizzes, and exams (individual questions or in its entirety) should not be uploaded to websites offering note-sharing, tutoring, or other academic help (free or by paid subscription). CLASS PARTICIPATION Class participation is a critical component of learning; therefore, you are expected to participate fully in all scheduled class meetings. While no penalty may be assessed for class absences during Fall 2020, you may not be permitted to make up certain class activities if absent. If you are ill, you should stay home. If you are required to participate in official university-sponsored activities or military training, you should receive an excused absence unless the written course attendance policy indicates otherwise. If you will be absent from class for sponsored activities, you must provide prior notification of the planned absence to the instructor. You may be required to submit assignments or take examinations before the planned absence. COURSE SCHEDULE ADJUSTMENTS FOR FALL Courses that usually meet for 50 minute class periods (e.g. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday classes) have been shortened by 5 minutes per class meeting to allow more travel time for students and faculty between classes. Instructors will be expected to provide additional assignments or instruction to make up the contact time for these courses to ensure classes meet the required semester credit hour standards. INSTRUCTOR OFFICE HOURS During Fall 2020 instructors and teaching assistants shall offer office hours online. Students are asked to respect the posted virtual office hours of all instructors and teachings assistants. PRE-FINALS WEEK POLICY Final examinations are scheduled at the end of each semester and are preceded by pre-finals week, which begins seven days prior to the first day of finals. During Fall 2020 pre-finals week, all normal class activities will continue in an online format; however, no assignment, test, or examination accounting for more than 5% of the course grade may be given; and no activity or field trip may be scheduled that conflicts with another class. This excludes makeup and laboratory examinations, out-of-class assignments (or projects) made prior to pre-finals week and independent study courses. No student or campus organization may hold meetings, banquets, receptions, or may sponsor or participate in any activity, program, or related function that requires

student participation. For additional information, contact the Office of Academic Affairs, 405-744-5627, 101 Whitehurst. FINAL EXAM OVERLOAD POLICY All final exams and assessments for Fall 2020 will be held in an online format. In the event you have three or more final exams scheduled for a single day, you are entitled to arrange with the instructor of the highest numbered course (4 digit course number) or two highest, if you have four finals on one day, to re-schedule that examination(s) at a time of mutual convenience during final exam week. If the final exam overload includes a common final exam, the common final exam is excluded from rescheduling unless multiple common exams are scheduled at the same time. You should submit this request in writing, with a copy of your class schedule, at least two weeks prior to the beginning of final exam week. The instructor has one week prior to the beginning of final exam week to arrange a mutually convenient time for administration of the final exam. After one week, if an agreement cannot be reached, take the request to the department head. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Student Email - OSU uses your OKSTATE.EDU email address as a primary form of communication.
