Program Specific Criteria

a Competency in mathematics, fluid mechanics and strength of materials

d Design an analysis of systems for producing, injecting and handling fluids

Relationship to ABET Program Outcomes

Program outcomes describe what students are expected to know or be able to do by the time of graduation from the Program. The

following table summarizes the contribution of this course to the Program outcomes.

a Ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering

c Ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs

e Ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems

l basic knowledge of design principles in each area of petroleum engineering – drilling, production and reservoir, and be aware

of their interdependence

Contribution to Program Professional Component and to Design Component

Course material and projects of this course use the fundamental science, mathematics and the engineering principles to design drilling

systems to meet certain needs. The course contributes to the Program Professional Component and Design Component by applying the fundamental sciences, mathematics and engineering principles.

POLICY ON ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT

The policy in this class on academic misconduct will follow that stated in Policies and procedure Relating to Academic Misconduct in

the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences.

• Any case of academic misconduct will be reported to the dean office

• A grade of zero in the exam, quiz or project will be given to any student that is involved in academic misconduct for the first offense. A grade of F will be given for the course if there is a second offense. If another student is involved in the

offense knowingly, he will receive the same penalty.

• Any student detected copying homework, or allowing his or her homework to be copied, will receive a zero grade for that

homework. Repeated offenses will result in an F grade in the course.

• In the event that the instructor awards an F grade in the course because of academic misconduct, he will so notify the Review Board for Cases of Academic Misconduct and will recommend them that, if the student has been involved in

similar cases, he/she will be dismissed from the University.

• Any action by the instructor on a specific instance of alleged academic misconduct can be appealed by the student involved

to the Review Board for Cases of Academic Misconduct if he/she desires so.

OTHER POLICIES

1. Class attendance is required. Absent must follow the rules set by the Dean Office of Natural Science and Engineering

2. Assignment (Homework) Policy:

2.1 Homeworks are due at the beginning of class on the assigned day No late homework is accepted. There is no make-up for a missing homework

2.2 All homework solutions must be neatly and clearly presented as hand-written calculations or as a computer print.

Homework must be contained the statement of the problem, your assumption and the solution proposed. Up to 20 points is discounted due to lack of presentation

2.3 Assignment is considered an individual work. Plagiarism is considered a case of academic misconduct and it will be treated

as mentioned on academic misconduct policy 2.4. Please observe the following guidelines (as applicable) when submitting homework:

• Write your name and ID at the front page. Neat and readable. No name=No grade= Zero

• Sketches and free body diagrams (where appropriate) drawn with a straightedge or neatly by hand. • Plots include labeled axes, a title, different line types or symbols to distinguish between results, where applicable.

• Electronic solutions (Excel, Mathematica, Matlab or Mathcad) should be well documented and an illustrative example of

the calculation must be included. Up to 30 points will be discounted if you only submit the electronic version • • Final answer clearly marked for each problem, with dimensions and appropriate number of significant digits.

• • Answers checked against engineering common sense.

• Dimensions checked. 3. Quiz and Exam Policy:

3.1 There is no make-up for exams or quizzes

3.2 Grade of a quiz or an exam can be reviewed only a week after you have received the grade. No re-grading will be done later.

3.3 Cheating in an exam or an quiz is considered a case of academic misconduct and it will be treated as mentioned on

academic misconduct policy 3.4 Write your name and ID. Neat and readable. No name=No grade= Zero

3.5 The exam or quiz solutions must be organized and well presented. Your grade will be affected because of it.

4. Grades on quizzes, exams and projects are the only acceptable measurement of your academic performance in this course. No student should have a chance different than other such as extra work, homework, retake exams, etc.

5. Students with disabilities should identify themselves to the instructor and contact the Center for Student Academic Support to attend

their needs in order to facilitate their rights under the Disabilities Act. 6. Athlete students or student in band activities should identify themselves to the instructor to attend any schedule conflict with their

obligations with the athletic department

7. No cell-phones, laptops or tablets are allowed during quizzes and exams (only calculators) 8. Questionnaires may be posted before quizzes and exams. These questions are guidelines which intends helping in your preparation.

Do not assume that the quiz or exam will be based on exclusively in these questions

9. Course material will be posted in WebCT or Instructor Folder.
