FE EXAM REVIEW HAND OUT: http://www.ncees.org/exams/study_materials/fe_handbook/index.php

COURSE EXPECTATIONS AND EVALUATION:

1. TESTS: 3 Tests including a comprehensive final exam (see the calendar)

2. HOMEWORK will be assigned daily. Each homework problem must have three sections of GIVEN, REQUIRED, and SOLUTION and each problem must start on a separate page. It is strongly encouraged that you use engineering pads for your homework. HW will be evaluated by the means of tests and quizzes.

3. QUIZZES: A total of 6 quizzes will be conducted throughout the semester (see the calendar). The quizzes will be based on homework and/or recent topics of discussion in class.

4. JOURNAL You are asked to keep a journal to record your own thoughts about the subject of fluid mechanics, its relation to composite materials and processing, and your questions about the subject matter.

5. COURSE BINDER: A three-hole binder that organizes your homework, quizzes, journal, and project. You may include a copy of your class notes. Please conserve paper! A suggested format will be provided.

6. There will be a policy of NO MAKE UP WORK. If you have to miss an assigned work, you should consult with the instructor prior to being absent or immediately after you return to class. Otherwise, it is understood that you will get a grade of zero for that assignment.

7. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY: see page 27 of 2010-2012 WSU Undergraduate Catalog

Mission, Objectives, and Outcomes of the Composite Materials Engineering Department

The mission of the CME program is “To develop creative minds and innovation in the field of composite materials through education, applied research, and scholarly pursuits in collaboration with the composites industry and community.”

The Educational Objectives of the CME Program are to prepare graduates to become engineers who:

1. Apply their knowledge and expertise to develop innovative and effective solutions for the composites industry.

2. Communicate and work effectively in diverse environments.

3. Grow and develop professionally.

The learning outcomes of the CME program are demonstrated by students who have attained:

1.  An understanding of the fundamentals of mathematics, science, and engineering science and their application in engineering. (Fundamentals*)

2.  The ability to identify, formulate, model and solve engineering problems (Problem Solving*)

3.  The ability to use state-of-the-art engineering tools (experimental, computational, and statistical) necessary to select, analyze, design, fabricate, and test materials. (Tools)

4.  The ability to design and conduct experiments as well as to analyze and interpret data related to structure, properties, processing, and performance of materials. (Experimentation)

5.  The theoretical knowledge and hands-on ability to confidently design components, systems, and processes to meet the needs of the composites industry within a set of realistic constraints including economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability. (Design)

6.  The ability to communicate effectively in oral, written and visual forms. (Communication)

7.  The ability to work effectively in a team environment. (Teamwork)

8.  An understanding of the proper response to ethical issues and their responsibility to the engineering profession. (Responsibilities)

9.  An understanding of the impact of their engineering decisions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context. (Impact)

10.  Knowledge of contemporary issues and recognition of the importance of sustaining this knowledge through life-long learning. (State-of-the Art)

* Course will address this outcome.


Course Outcomes

ENGR 300: Thermodynamics

You must:

I. Be able to define and apply basic concepts in thermodynamics to energy balance of closed and open system

II. Be able to reach solutions of thermodynamics problems through discussion.

III. Be able to understand and identify different phases of a substance and find their properties using tables of data and phase diagram.

IV. Understand and manipulate equation of states such as ideal gas law and compressibility factor.

V. Be able to perform energy balance on closed and open system/devices operating at steady and transient state.

VI. Understand the second law of thermodynamics and its application to operation of basic cycles; heat engines, heat pumps, and refrigerators.

VII. Be able to define reversibility and irreversibility and apply the concept to cycles to manipulate ideal cycles, i.e. Carnot cycles

In addition, pay special attention to the Learning Objectives of each chapter depicted on the first page of each chapter.

I reserve the right to change and modify this content as needed.
