If you have questions about the course, go to your Section Instructor first. For switching sections, talk to Mrs. Chichester in JEC 3018 (as sections are full). Goal: The goal of the course is to help you develop a fundamental understanding of the structure, properties, processing, performance, and uses of materials (metals, polymers, ceramics, glasses, semiconductors, composites, biomaterials, and nanomaterials). Most of you will apply knowledge about materials to design and build products, and a strong grasp of materials properties and the methods to control them will make you a better engineer. Learning Outcomes: 1) Students will be able to identify the major properties of the different classes of materials (metals, ceramics, glasses, polymers, and electronic materials). 2) Students will be able to recognize the interdependence of the structure, properties, processing, and performance of materials, and will be able to describe the important parameters that govern the relationships between these four categories. 3) Students will be able to integrate fundamental materials science with laboratory synthesis and processing, analysis of experimental data, as well as quantitative modeling. Text: Materials Science and Engineering, An Integrated Approach by W. D. Callister and D. G. Rethwisch (5th edition). Wiley Plus on-line homework is required. Laboratory will require a lab notebook capable of making carbon copies. Academic Integrity: The relationship between students and faculty is based upon trust, and the continued maintenance of this trust is necessary for education to be successful. Students need to trust faculty to make appropriate judgments as to the structure and content of the course. Faculty members need to trust that the work turned in by students represents their own effort. Violation of this trust undermines the educational process. In addition, as engineers, you may be designing products (e.g., aircraft, the computers that run them, or the runways they land on) that lives depend on. As a result, there is no tolerance for breach of academic integrity such as cheating, plagiarizing, or inappropriate sharing of laboratory reports, quizzes, or homework. Mobile Devices: All mobile devices (cell/smart phones, computers, pagers, etc.) must be stored 1

securely away during lecture, and may only be used for lecture-related activities as permitted by the instructor. Use of (or ANY interaction with) a mobile device during an exam/quiz without explicit permission of the instructor will be interpreted as the illicit transfer of exam data, will be considered an act of cheating and will be treated as such. Anyone caught cheating or plagiarizing will be subject to disciplinary actions, such as a failing grade for the course and referral to the Dean of Students. Cheating includes sharing answers, stealing answers, and placing text strings or equations on your calculator, cell phone, or other electronic device. Plagiarism means copying words from someone else's work, even if you "change the sentence a bit". If you share your laboratory report, you are as guilty as the person copying it. If you do use material from an appropriate source (e.g., the Internet), make sure you reference it properly in your report. More specific guidelines for writing a lab report are given in the Laboratory Manual (LMS website). Reading Assignments: There are reading assignments associated with each class session. These are listed in detail on the week-by-week schedule for your section. It is very important for you to read the assigned material prior to each class, so that you are prepared in class. Teaching Assistant Help: TA and Instructor office hours and locations will be posted on LMS. The assigned TA is your resource for questions pertaining to the laboratory experiments or homework. Instructors are your resource for questions on concepts or academic difficulty. General Course Help: If you have general questions about the course that your TA cannot answer, please speak to your Instructor first, before contacting the Course Coordinator. LMS Site: There will be a LMS (Blackboard) website for the course. The site will contain the laboratory manual, old exams, etc. The URL is lms.rpi.edu. Informal Help: There are other media for getting help with this class. You are encouraged to seek them out on your own, however, we cannot guarantee the quality of help you will receive. Homework: Homework will be administered and graded online using Wiley Plus, which can be purchased at https://www.wileyplus.com/. (Instructions are posted on LMS.) Students must complete the assigned homework by the due date to receive credit. You will need to correctly complete 90% of the assignments to receive full credit for homework. Many quizzes and exam questions will be based on the homework questions. Laboratory Sessions: You will need a lab notebook which can make carbon copies. The course includes several laboratories. The lab manual is available electronically via Blackboard (LMS). The lab manual has further instructions about the laboratory and writing lab reports. Lab reports are due on Tuesday or Friday, 5:00 pm, about one week after the laboratory is completed and must submitted on Blackboard as a PDF file. Late lab reports will receive 50% off the grade and will receive no credit if submitted more than 7 days after the deadline. If a student misses a lab session for an unavoidable and compelling reason, the student may be excused from the lab at the instructor’s discretion provided that the student presents a suitable written excuse. The 2

written excuse is required from the Dean, a doctor, or a coach. Lab #6 (Diffusion) lab will be prepared as "a full lab report". The remaining lab assignments will be prepared by answering the questions provided on the lab handout. The essential deliverables for a full lab report are: 1. A flow chart showing the lab procedure, is due at the start of class on the day of the laboratory. 2. Laboratory notebook pages are due at the end of the laboratory class. 3. A full laboratory report following the University of Minnesota guidelines is available on LMS and must be submitted in PDF format. The report is due on Tuesday or Friday, 5:00 pm, one week after the laboratory is completed and must be submitted on LMS. Labs will only be graded in PDF format. Other formats will not be graded and will not receive credit. Cum-Quizzes: There will be three 50-minute cumulative quizzes administered during the Wednesday class period. Quizzes may include material covered in lecture, team problems, reading, homework, or laboratory. No makeup quizzes will be given. If a student misses a quiz for an unavoidable and compelling reason, the student may be excused from the quiz at the instructor’s discretion provided that the student presents a suitable written excuse. The written excuse is required from the Dean, a doctor, or a coach. The credit of the excused cum quiz will be allocated to the final exam. Final Examination: There will be a comprehensive final examination given during exam week. The examination can only be given during that time unless you have three exams that day. Be sure to plan your travel home after the end of exam week. Final Grades: The final grade for the course will be determined as follows: (All assignments, i.e., lab reports/qzs/final, should be in principle graded within a week of submission). Type of Assignment Percentage Participation 5% Homework assignments 20% Full Laboratory Report 5% Short Laboratory Reports/Activities 15% Cum Qzs 25% Final Examination 30% Total Points 100% Letter grades for this course will be as follows: A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, F.
