Methods of Evaluation:
Projects/Labs:
Applied design projects and reports emphasize teamwork and communication, as well as the application of industry-standard hydraulic, word-processing, spreadsheet, and presentation software. The need for professionalism and excellence is reinforced through the requirement for assignments to be completed on time and in a neat and well-organized manner. Several laboratory experiments and reports will be completed in this course. Lab expectations can be found on Blackboard.
Attendance/Participation:
Students are expected to attend every period and have assignments completed and ready to present. A missed lab does not excuse responsibility for the work covered in the lab.
Method of Evaluation:
Student grades will be based on homework, laboratory reports, design projects and exams. Assignments for both theory and lab will be combined into one final grade for both sections with the distribution shown below.
