INTRODUCTION TO THE PRACTICE OF ENGINEERING FOR TRANSFER STUDENTS Instructor

Dr. Jennifer Lovely RGAN 102 [email protected]

Office hours

By appointment or after class Tuesday and Thursday

Course Description Introduction to the Practice of Engineering for Transfer Students is a 3-credit hour course that meets for 75 min on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This class welcomes transfer students to the College of Engineering and introduces them to the creativity inherent in how engineers and computer scientists approach innovation, design and problem solving from blue sky brainstorming to implementing a solution. Students will be introduced to general engineering content, practice with tools of the trade (written and oral communications, data analysis, visualization, and professional development), provide peer reviews and discuss ethical implications of creative engineering endeavors. Students will work in teams to apply the skills and tools introduced. Topics and assignments include in depth engagement with engineering tools for modeling, analysis, visualization, team development, documentation and communication. Students gain experience in project management, identifying constraints, accepting and providing critical analysis, iterating to refine their work, and keeping a technical design notebook.

Prerequisites Enrolled in the College of Engineering or MA ACT of at least 23 or equivalent Prereq: EGR 102 or equivalent; Prereq or concur: MA 113 Class Meeting Pattern: Each class meets Tuesdays and Thursdays for 75 min. There will be Open lab times on Monday and Wednesday afternoons (3-5 pm) and Fridays (8-4 pm) and will be staffed by TAs in 101 WG3. Open lab is optional but a good place to go to get help outside of class times. The Innovation Center in RGAN 202 is also available for meeting and development of the final project. Student Learning Outcomes Students will personally produce, fabricate and generate artifacts that demonstrate their engagement with the creative process. As part of this process students will: 1. Define and distinguish different approaches to “creativity” as appropriate to the disciplinary practices of engineering and computer science. 2. Apply the best practices (logic, laws, and constraints) of engineering and computer

science. 3. Demonstrate the ability to critically analyze work produced by other students in this course and co-curricular events using appropriate tools. 4. Evaluate results of their own creative endeavors and, using that evaluation, reassess and refine their work. Course Outcomes After completing this course, the student will be able to: 1. Work effectively in teams to define and solve design problems. 2. Implement a design cycle including requirements, problem statement, solution generation, evaluation and validation. 3. Document the decision making process, selection of tools, test methods and results through oral, visual and written presentations.

Final Exam Information The final exam will take place on Tuesday, April 23, during class.

Mid-term Grade Mid-term grades will be posted in myUK by the deadline established in the Academic Calendar (http://www.uky.edu/registrar/content/academic-calendar) Submission of Assignments Canvas (uk.instructure.com) will be used for posting class announcements and assignments. Use your Link Blue login and password to access Canvas based courses. Canvas is also accessible through a smartphone app. Students are responsible for regularly checking the class Canvas site and checking email.

Attendance Policy Attendance will be taken at all class meetings. Students are expected to withdraw from the class if more than 20% of the classes scheduled for the semester are missed (excused)per university policy. Excused Absences Students need to notify the professor of absences prior to class when possible. Senate Rules 5.2.4.2 defines the following as acceptable reasons for excused absences: (a) serious illness, (b) illness or death of family member, (c) University-related trips, (d) major religious holidays, and (e) other circumstances found to fit “reasonable cause for nonattendance” by the professor. Students anticipating an absence for a major religious holiday are responsible for notifying the instructor in writing of anticipated absences due to their observance of such holidays no later than the last day in the semester to add a class. Two weeks prior to the absence is reasonable, but should not be given any later. Information regarding major religious holidays may be obtained through the Ombud (859-257-3737, http://www.uky.edu/Ombud/ForStudents_ExcusedAbsences.php. Students are allowed to withdraw from the class if more than 20% of the classes scheduled for the semester are missed (excused) per University policy. Per Senate Rule 5.2.4.2, students missing any graded work due to an excused absence are responsible: for informing the Instructor of Record about their excused absence within one week following the period of the excused absence (except where prior notification is required); and for making up the missed work. The professor must give the student an opportunity to make up the work and/or the exams missed due to an excused absence, and shall do so, if feasible, during the semester in which the absence occurred. If you have an excused absence, please discuss making up missed work with me in person or via email.

Verification of Absences Students may be asked to verify their absences in order for them to be considered excused. Senate Rule 5.2.4.2 states that faculty have the right to request “appropriate verification” when students claim an excused absence because of illness, or death in the family. Appropriate notification of absences due to University-related trips is required prior to the absence when feasible and in no case more than one week after the absence. Late Work Policy

Assignments will be open on Canvas for one week after the due date. Every day that an assignment is late the score will be deducted by 5% (unless you contact me with a valid excuse prior to the assignment closing), I will not accept assignments after a week has passed unless I am contacted about it BEFORE the original due date. Academic Integrity Per University policy, students shall not plagiarize, cheat, or falsify or misuse academic records. Students are expected to adhere to University policy on cheating and plagiarism in all courses. The minimum penalty for a first offense is a zero on the assignment on which the offense occurred. If the offense is considered severe or the student has other academic offenses on their record, more serious penalties, up to suspension from the University may be imposed. Plagiarism and cheating are serious breaches of academic conduct. Each student is advised to become familiar with the various forms of academic dishonesty as explained in the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities. Complete information can be found at the following website: http://www.uky.edu/Ombud. A plea of ignorance is not acceptable as a defense against the charge of academic dishonesty. It is important that you review this information as all ideas borrowed from others need to be properly credited. Senate Rules 6.3.1 (see http://www.uky.edu/Faculty/Senate/ for the current set of Senate Rules) states that all academic work, written or otherwise, submitted by students to their instructors or other academic supervisors, is expected to be the result of their own thought, research, or self-expression. In cases where students feel unsure about a question of plagiarism involving their work, they are obliged to consult their instructors on the matter before submission. When students submit work purporting to be their own, but which in any way borrows ideas, organization, wording, or content from another source without appropriate acknowledgment of the fact, the students are guilty of plagiarism. Plagiarism includes reproducing someone else's work (including, but not limited to a published article, a book, a website, computer code, or a paper from a friend) without clear attribution. Plagiarism also includes the practice of employing or allowing another person to alter or revise the work, which a student submits as his/her own, whoever that other person may be. Students may discuss assignments among themselves or with an instructor or tutor, but when the actual work is done, it must be done by the student, and the student alone. When a student's assignment involves research in outside sources or information, the student must carefully acknowledge exactly what, where and how he/she has employed them. If the words of someone else are used, the student must put quotation marks around the passage in question and add an appropriate indication of its origin. Making simple changes while leaving the organization, content, and phraseology intact is plagiaristic.

However, nothing in these Rules shall apply to those ideas, which are so generally and freely circulated as to be a part of the public domain. Please note: Any assignment you turn in may be submitted to an electronic database to check for plagiarism. Accommodations due to disability If you have a documented disability that requires academic accommodations, please see me as soon as possible during scheduled office hours. In order to receive accommodations in this course, you must provide me with a Letter of Accommodation from the Disability Resource Center (DRC). The DRC coordinates campus disability services available to students with disabilities. It is located on the corner of Rose Street and Huguelet Drive in the Multidisciplinary Science Building, Suite 407. You can reach them via phone at (859) 257-2754 and via email at [email protected]. Their web address is http://www.uky.edu/StudentAffairs/DisabilityResourceCenter/. Classroom behavior Students should be respectful to others in the class and engage in civil discourse when discussing topics that have a diversity of perspectives. My rule is that if one of your fellow students is speaking to the class, no one else should be speaking. Please do not text during class, look at your phone regularly, or do any unrelated work on your laptop during our class meetings. If you arrive late, please come in quietly and see me after class to make sure your attendance is marked. Presentation U! Peer Tutoring Come see us for help with any of the following: brainstorming project topics, creating outlines, essay writing, research papers, effectively using APA/MLA style, practicing oral presentations, designing and constructing effective visual aids, including PowerPoint, Prezi, websites, videos, and digital projects.
